Dentist office: So have you started any new medications since we've seen you last?
Me: HECK YEAH I HAVE

UPDATE I succeeded in licking it off

ugh I got chocolate on a weird side of my arm that's hard to get to my mouth to lick it off, what am I going to do

I think maybe support groups aren't for me

I just found out the cat is Catholic. I mean he pointed out I never asked him but I still feel like this is something I should have known about

This actually happened like a month ago, I just remembered it now because I am ::ahem:: currently listening to Pearl Jam

One of the cool ladies at work saw my untucked plaid shirt under a cardigan (which is basically my defacto work uniform) and said,
"Hun, what, are you a 90s grunge throwback?"
Obviously I replied "I WISH," like in all caps just like that

I'm sorting through ten to fifteen years of random .txt and .doc files in my documents folder, ideas and notes and reminders and fragmentary stories and dreams I had and reminiscences, and doing my best to consolidate and organize them somehow.

Oh fuck I opened the window next to my computer and all the dusty cat hair under my desk started blowing around all over help what do I do how do I stop this

Out on the road today
I saw a deadhead sticker on a...

::squints::

V... en... za?

Also I looked at my parents' weird dog

So I had a weirdly stressful/cathartic weekend visiting my parents and brother that I don't completely want to talk about, but I went to Ulta with my mom where I got an "excuse me ladies" from staff even though I wasn't strictly in the highest girl mode I can be?

then I missed the monthly trans meetup group again but watched Thor: Ragnarok with my mom and brother, which was pretty great anyway

Keep your solar propaganda in church where it belongs

I am so fucking sick of people complaining how gloomy and drizzly it is today. What is wrong with you monsters? Some of us are sick of your vile sunshine!

The sun is humanity's oldest enemy. It is the father of all sin. It is at best Earth's adult garbage son who I hate.

I think my critical error was in making it circular like a pin instead of rectangular like a flag, because though a lot of people noticed it, they all said "Hey I like your Easter Egg"

But it still gave me an in and I managed to tell all of them nah, it's the trans pride flag, I'm transgender.

I came out to like... half a dozen people, aside from the ones who already knew? Including the DM of my 5th edition D&D game, which is good progress I think?

So I didn't work today because it's Saturday, but yesterday for Trans Day of Visibility I dressed a little femmer than average (I'm still not totally there yet at work) and I rigged up this hasty trans pride pin with some highlighters and a paperclip from my desk

TIL the CW tag counts against the character limit and that last thread I posted got divvied up a little weird, also it was a repost from Twitter after I just remembered oh hey, I forgot about my Octodon account, so this actually happened yesterday?

I meant to change the "today" to "yesterday" in the thing about the salad and forgot and now it's too late?

So you know, full disclosure

And YES, the salad did have cut up chicken fingers sprinkled in it, it was a really good salad, what was I talking about
