Life, oh life

Lack of updates here recently may have had something to do with going out pretty much every night for the last year. I suspect generalised anxiety giving rise to generalised procrastination.

This Thursday I'm moving in with the truly excellent strangedave and doctor_k_. I've got a strong feeling my life's about to change strangely and for the better. Volunteers for

Are you still coming to Melbourne at the end of the year? Both Danni and I would like to hang out with you...

Yus, but haven't booked time yet. Also probably going to be slightly tight with the money requirements of getting and staying there, which is frustrating because I get the impression there are going to be about a million clothes I need :)

AND I can't think of many better people to go shopping with since I'm trying to recreate my entire wardrobe as trendy/androgynous/feminine without being female/Vince Noir/genderqueer/slightly in the direction of Eddie Izzard but pulling up short of transvestite.

Maybe I should actually try to save.

If you need a place to crash, we have a very very comfortable couch (it folds out to an awesome double bed, thanks, ikea!), and live about 20 minutes by tram from the CBD. AND there are some awesome shops around where we live that might fit that clothing category. :o)

Might take you up on that couch, since I'd like to take a few extra days on top of the con to explore the city, since I have enough leave saved up and since the con hotel is the Rydges :P

[stephiepenguin]

No worries! Please schedule your extra days to be after the con though - I notice it's 3-6 December, and we actually have Zanchey + Sheeba staying with us until 3 December. :o)

hey can you just confirm when/if you want to stay with us? we're just...scheduling things, and I need to know if you're staying with us that weekend and commuting to the con, or staying at the hotel for the con and staying with us afterwards. i need to know now pleeeaaaassseeee. :o)

[hipikat]

Would be staying at the con hotel for the con (if my current financial problems don't prevent me from going to Melbourne at all :P). Will specifically get extra-days-off on the after-the-con side to stay with you guys, as requested. Do you need to know how many of those I'd be fishing for now?

[stephiepenguin]

nope, you can let know later. just needed to know if our couch was free for the saturday. :o)

Let us introduce you to the op-shops on Sydney Rd.
