The Harvard campus is so confusing. I finally found where I am supposed to go, but now I don't know what I am going to do on our break for lunch, because I'll probably just wind up in a maze looking for a place to get lunch, and then just get lost on the way back.

Are you taking classes there?

loved that one. One of the reviewers name is LordKat, which is quite a funny coincidence

Haha, yeah! The first time I saw our LordKat's name I was like, "Wait, LordKat? He couldn't be- or could he?" Now I'm suspicious of everyone. I'm actually seriously wondering about Diamanda Hagan, mostly because Diamanda is an almost stereotypically transsexual name.

That's her on the right. I more lovely vision I could not ask for.

you're not the only one in the case of Diamanda. The first time i saw her and heard her voice i was all like: "Is she trans?"

I wish my mother would stop bugging me about going back to college.  I made a deal with her....if she gets her associate's degree then I'll get my Bachelors, but I know she's not going to do that.   Why can't she praise my sister who has a freaking masters in divinity and is going back for her PHd?  She acts like she doesn't care about THAT? Why doesn't she tell my near-30 year old brother that he should go back to college?  Granted, he's autistic yeah but that's no excuse because a guy I went to college with was autistic and my brothers very smart so I know he can do it too but nooooo, she wants to focus on ME.  I will say that if I did go back to college, it would be to get my paralegal certificate.  Unlikely though.

lol no, I am taking a MPRE review lecture here since the last time I took it I was one point away from the score I needed.

Good luck!

One hour without wifi and I felt so crippled. Ouch.

I've removed a lot of my male clothing from the wardrobe, but since I did not have where to store it, now it is under the bed...



Removing the clothing I won't wear again already felt as if somebody had died and I was packing the things of somebody who is not here anymore (not to mention realizing how much I have moved away from my old persona), but the clothes under the bed now?





I feel like this.

I hate wifi. I stick with a wired modem and keep my laptop at home. The only time I have used wi fi is if I am at someone else's place and that is what they use. Then I shake my head at how much of a headache it is.

Oh mine's usually great but recently it's been playing up. I am a bit restless and I tend to move the computer around too much for ethernet.. But jah it can be a pain in the place the sun don't shine. As mine kindly demonstrated.

Impressed by people daring to clean out their wardrobes. I'm pretty sure someone could hide a body in mine and it would take a couple of years before anyone noticed.

I agree, I thought that was a lame call and it cost the Patriots the game

Quote from: Miss Bungle on October 20, 2013, 05:23:48 PM
I never did that. I just tossed all of my old clothes out. Most of it was so worn out (especially my death metal shirts) that there was no point in keeping them.

That's the problem. I care a lot for my clothing, and most of it is in perfect condition. I still have some attachment to a few T-Shirts (Which are in a separate box), but for the rest I need to find where is the closest donation centre, or ask friends...

But heck, is a dilemma. I don't like getting rid of expensive clothing, but at the same time I see it a temptation of going back to effeminate boy mode. Although at the current status, butch woman could be the closest result.

I think that's very considerate of you, to think of others that might benefit from clothes you may not need anymore.
And who knows, the recipient might be a trans guy and everything will come full circle!

Arms and legs are going to be sore tomorrow (goshdarned college fair!), and I've still got some work to do... Nngh, I'll try to get it done in the morning. Maybe. *Sigh*

That when you zoom out on where I live, it looks lovely.

(50 seconds in)

You kind of get used to the mountains but from a distance they look great. *squee*

Ah, patriotic moments.

It's beautiful country. The extreme skiing is really nutty stuff though OMG!

Freaking out! My first time presenting as female out in public. Didn't have time to put any makeup on so I'm relying on my natural beauty to help pass. Sitting in the therapists parking lot calming myself down.

Someone is playing the saxaphone outside....I was starting to feel like Spike Spiegal until he played the National Anthem.

So in our municipal election, people are apparently allowed to have nicknames. One guy marketed himself as a school board trustee as "*girl's* Dad". In other words, his entire foundation for his campaign strategy was being a father. We also have a law that says you can't have any campaigning or endorsements for any candidate close to a voting station. Well, RIGHT on the ballot, he has his real name, and then in brackets "girl's Dad".

That's undemocratic! It's campaigning not just near the voting station, but on the actual ballot! I'm appalled that this was allowed to take place. People use "family" to appeal to people's interests - he established himself as a "family man" from day one, and labelling himself that way on the ballot is just another form of political marketing. There are people who are going to think "right! The dad! Wow, he is really committed to family values, I want that person on the board."

It's unfair. I'm seriously considering consulting the city.

The fact that that would have an effect on someone's vote is one of the many reasons democracy, as it is, is not the way to get the person that represents the people into office.  People who cannot think on their own should not vote, they're not even helping themselves except maybe by chance.
