Uni and other things
Bus internet is about the most exciting thing ever. Busternet.
My [main] bus to uni has a wifi trial going on, and I have to say, it makes the trip fly by. It gives you 45 minutes of internet, which is about the length of my trip on that bus, so it's perfect. Potentially disastrous to my sleeping patterns though, since I do most of my sleeping ( Read more... )

I think it was a combination of the fact that my cousin probably ignores the times that I've talked about being asexual, plus the fact that most people just assume that the Mardi Gras is for homosexuality (my grandma asked at one point if you have to be gay to go in and we had to specify that Sivan is going on the Jewish float as a heterosexual supporter). Plus the fact that I was wearing a tie, which my sister disapproves of because apparently I 'look like a lesbian' :/
My close family are not religious in any way and I think my dad's a closet atheist, but my grandma is pretty big in the Jewish community here, so she's not keen on my atheism (another reason I just don't want to get into sexuality stuff with her). She hopes that I'll change back all the time. My mum's close family are really religious, but they live in Israel so there aren't too many awkward conversations. It's mainly my dad's brother's family, but again, they're in Melbourne so it's not too bad.
It can be really awkward to have those conversations...I haven't been to shule for a High Holy Day in the last four years, and I just try not to talk about that around relatives I don't want to offend :P
