Brand new week!
OK, it's a brand new week. I don't have my inventory updating looming over me anymore (at least, not nearly so badly). Graduation was Saturday, and the town cleared out quite nicely over the weekend. My professor friend is thusly rather more free, what with not having classes to teach and papers to grade, etc., so hopefully more hanging out. Boy-type roommate is in the process of moving to the other apartment, so I have redecorating & furniture rearranging possibilities stretching out before me. I should have a nice "new" (i.e. refurb) 8 gig iPod Nano G4 coming very soon (I'm quickly coming to realize that Woot! is dangerous. Very very dangerous.) My new friend from Sonia's going-away party on Thursday set up a Facebook account and tracked me down, thus reassuring me that I'm not the worst Facebook stalker out there (and, you know, giving me that extra point of contact with a new friend =P). On a similar topic, my Facebook friends are multiplying like rabbits. I'm working out times to hang out with several of my friends. One of them is aforementioned roommate of aforementioned cutie I thought I was hitting it off pretty well with (see here for the aforementionings)...who mentioned that said cutie (whom I stupidly don't have any direct contacts with, stupid STUPID Rachel!) is looking forward to seeing me again, thus stroking my ego and giving me more evidence that we were, in fact, hitting it off pretty well. =) I have a doctor's appointment this week to possibly up my HRT dosage, and I'm going to get her to check for evidence of thyroid problems which could potentially explain a HUGE number of things. Treatment for which could potentially FIX said huge number of things. This weekend is Memorial Day, with all the three-day weekend-ness that entails. Also, barbecue & StarCraft LAN with friends. I'm only two weeks away from my name change. Three from my trip. Four from officially transitioning at work, thus making me completely full-time. I'm starting with disturbing regularity to see a really freaking cute girl in the mirror. Emphasis on the really freaking cute. And also on the girl.
If I start getting bitchy and whiny again, slap me hard and link me to this post. My life does *not* suck. I have friends, a decent number of them! I'm not rich but I'm well enough off to buy stuff I don't strictly need just because it's cool and on sale online. Even though I don't get out and do things as often as some people, I *do* do it. Even though there's not all that much to do around here, I can still go hang out with friends - despite what I keep trying to tell myself, there is *nothing* wrong with sitting around chatting with friends, it's not somehow inherently inferior to going to a club or something. Just because I'm not a supermodel does *not* mean I'm ugly. Just because I'm a little on the flat side, or a little round 'round the middle, or not particularly hippy, does *not* mean I can't attract people with my appearance. I could do to lose a little weight just for health reasons, but I'm not fat. I don't have to starve myself and deny myself any sort of treat ever to try and get my weight down, I just need to exercise a little more and eat a little healthier on average and make sure those treats are exactly that - treats.
Have I annoyed everyone thoroughly by being all positive and self-affirming yet? =P Anyway, I'm gonna say it again: if I get depressed and bitchy, slap the stupid out of me and point me here to remind me things don't really suck all that bad.
I've started going back to #YfQ. I'm not exactly as chatty and active as I used to be there, and I'm not there as often as I used to be...but I'm there. Maybe I'll get chattier with time, maybe I'll start being there more with time...I dunno. We'll see how things go.
