(no subject)
So it's Friday night and no one's going to read this, but I have had such a good fucking day and I wanted to share. Firstly, I had a job interview today and no clothes to wear to it due to a combination of having gained weight and not doing laundry. So I went shopping and found an entire businessy outfit for, like, $40, which was nice, and had a lovely conversation with the guy who rung me up about facial piercings - he had a lovely labret with one of those ridiculous coloured glass balls on the front. So, awesome. Then I drove to campus.
I should explain about ASU. It's big, ridiculously so. The last time I heard we were the largest university in the states - over 65,000 students. The main campus, the one I attend, is 1 mile by 1 mile square, and most of it is only accessible by foot. I park in "Lot 59," which is off campus by... at least a mile. I don't know how much, just that if I walk from there it takes me about 20 minutes to get to any given class, and longer to get to my art classes as they are all the way on the west side. So I don't walk, I bike. ANYWAY. I drove to campus and biked to Hayden library at noon (and got all hot and sweaty doing it, gross) because I was supposed to meet a friend, but he never showed up, so I just sat around being nervous and checking my email compulsively and reading GenderQueer (which is amazing, anyone want to talk about it?). Except for the nervousness it was actually pretty nice.
Then I got all changed and ready and biked to my interview. Which went fabulously. I met people, smiled a lot, talked about how I like to bake (COMPLETELY off topic, but whatever), and apparently charmed them since they contacted me an hour later to tell me I got the job!!! I am. Very excited about everything except the fact that I am now in 5 activist groups, taking 15 credit hours and working 20hrs/wk so a) I can say goodbye to any social life or downtime, and b) I am going to be on campus for a good ten hours everyday. Yay! \o/ I do like being employed, though.
SO, ok. Blah blah blah, ran some errands, bought $200 worth of textbooks, went to Green because I'm addicted, and bought myself a small "you are employed now!" present at HTC. Which is to say: I got my shiny new chest piercing, which is gorgeous and looks a bit like this (but not exactly like that, as that is not me). This was also my first dermal anchor (single point piercing), which is exciting. And it turns out I get to keep my nape, which is also good. I love people. And life.
asldfjhasldkfjhaks; ok then.
Oh, also. I don't like the word 'tranny' and I was wondering - do you like it? do you use it? do you mind when other people use it? Why or why not, etc. Please?
