6th December


8:30 pm Monday 6th December 1998

I'm going to go for a shower, I'll be back after that.
OK, it's now 9:00 pm, and I guess I should start this diary entry. Well, what have I got to report since last time, which was… umm… December 3rd. OK, I didn't do too much on Friday either during the day or night. I ordered a Pizza after dinner, and that was about it. Saturday was rather hectic though, I woke up at about 9:00 am, and I made an appointment at the salon for an arm and chest wax. The earliest I could get was 2:00pm so I took that. Then I had to cycle into town to get a pair of jeans at Target, I got a pair of size 13 Regular, and they fitted fine. I went into town for the wax, and then met up with a friend, and spent a few hours with him in Belconnen. After that, I had to rush home and get dressed.
I wore my maroon bodysuit with the jeans and my black leather coat over the top. Although the jeans fitted fine normally, by the time I had my panties, stockings, hip and butt padding, corset and bodysuit it was quite a squeeze to get the jeans on. Once they were on it was fine, so that was OK. Szusza turned up at about 6:30 pm, and by then I had all my make-up, wig, bottle of wine and everything else ready to go.
Nikki's place was well up Northbourne Avenue towards the Yass turnoff. It didn't take me to long to put my make-up on, Szusza took quite a bit longer, but she had to get changed also. We were ready to go by 8:00pm, but the people from the flat above were chatting in the front yard and we couldn't go until they had gone. They didn't stop jabbering until 8:25 pm, then it took quite a while to find Jennifer's place, but by 8:30 pm, we finally turned up at her door.
When we finally arrived, Jennifer, Sharon and Christine were already there. We pleasantly chatted for quite a while about various things, and we were all having a wonderful time. After that, Jennifer served dinner, it was a Beef dish with rice, vegetables and potato cakes. It was very nice, and reminds me how long it's been since I've had a "normal" meal. We had mostly finished, when Szusza excused herself so that she could go and collect Nikki.
Anyway, we continued chatting, mostly about T* issues, when Jennifer mentioned that she had spotted me walking past P.J O'Riley's earlier in the week. I found that quite interesting, I presume it must have been me, but she said I had been walking and I don't remember walking into Civic. Anyway, I was rather chuffed that she had noticed me, even if I didn't see her. Unfortunately, people in suits all look the same to me.
After a while, Szusza got back with Nikki in tow, and introductions were all passed around. By then it was about midnight, so we all got into two cars and drove to the Meridian Club. There was a drag show on, which was the main reason we had decided to go, but it was nice to go out and socialize anyway. I bumped into Rob from the Ball, but we chatted amicably. The drag show (which was a Xmas theme) was very funny, and I enjoyed myself a lot. By the time the second show had finished, I was feeling a bit unwell. Too much alcohol, coupled with tight clothing and shoes and a wig which was squeezing my head made me walk back to Szusza's car for a long sit down.
Of course, while I was out, the rumor was spread that I had ducked out with somebody, yeah Right as if! There was a very good looking guy called Scott, he was about 6'4, and he was absolutely gorgeous. I could have sworn that he was giving me the eye later on in the night, but I wasn't too sure.

Anyway, I was in the car having a rest when I got thinking along various alternative thought patterns as I do, when I eventually came to the conclusion that I was immortal. I came to this conclusion because I figured that the "infinite could never become the finite". I guess it sort of like no matter how long the universe lasts, I will have changed it simply by existing, and these changes although they might be diluted and seemingly lost can never actually be extinguished. For example, the light from off my body is streaming off into space towards distant quasars which lie billions of light years away. In the distant future, my light will eventually reach them, and even then it will continue going and going. I think this offers the comfort of immortality even after the possible death of the consciousness mind. This was slightly related to the book p which I had been reading earlier in the day.
Then I though about the atoms in my hand. Made in the deep depths of some interstellar sun billions of years ago, they now, right now made me up. Truly I was made of star-stuff. Then more as a jest I thought that why don't I find the meaning of life! I laughed to myself for a bit, then after thinking about it for a bit longer, I found the answer. It was rather an ironic answer, because it's all wrapped up in the question. The meaning of life, is to find meaning in life! I certainly don't claim to be the first person to find this out, but it is a rather simple yet very deep answer.

Anyway, after finding the meaning of life, I though I had better go back in and find the others. They were still dancing, but after a little while we all headed back to Jennifer's place. We had some coffee (I think) and then after that I went back to Nikki's place with her and Szusza, and while Szusza got changed I picked up my stuff. We said goodbye and Szusza drove me home. It was about 3:30am, and it took till about 4:30am to get changed, have a shower, ensure all the make-up was off and that everything was hidden away. Then I collapsed into bed.
The next day I got up about 11am, and waited till my parents showed up. We had some chats, did a little bit of shopping at the Canberra Center, and then they went home at about 3:00 pm.
After they had gone home, Susan, Jules, Red, Paul and myself went and had coffee at Gus's in Civic. That was quite mellow, but was quite OK. I didn't do too much in the evening and so I went to bed reasonably early.
Today I had to drop the negatives off to Szusza, get money from the bank and do some work. I spent most of the afternoon struggling to input some characterization data which totally sucked, but which had to be done. I need to ask my supervisor some questions, but I don't know if he'll be in tomorrow.
Anyway, of course this will be the last diary entry before I finally get the hair extensions. Yes dear listener, if there's ever another entry in this diary, it will be written my some curly, long-haired lout. I still haven't started sweating nervously, so I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad sign. Of course regular readers of this diary will know that I'm not sure whether this is such a good idea or not. But I guess it's too late now. As soon as I handed over the $100 deposit, and they ordered the hair, the whole plan was set in motion, and there was no way to stop it. Yes, twelve hours from now, I'll be right in the middle of it, no backing out then or now. Oh well, I'll get over it.
Ok, I'm off to bed now, this time tomorrow, expect either squeals of delight or screams of horror. ;)
