Just kicking back, thought I might just try my hand at a bash at the old keyboard. Got up rather early today, so early that I was at breakfast! Got into the lab at about 9:15 am, and shocked most people. Andrew M said I was an anachronism, because I was completely out of place. Spent most of the morning trying to type in my experimental result, God it SUCKS!! And I thought that doing experiments sucked, this is even worse. Have to work on a damn Mac, just about losing my eye-sight because of the screen, tediously looking for each piece of data and so on. Also have to get an abstract ready so that Joe can know what to put in his. I'm trying to get the Tri-Yne to work, but there's about 40 different things I'm supposed to be doing at the same time.
Told Szusza that I'd go to the Glitter Ball, she was very pleased. I just know that I'll be not really wanting to go right up until I walk through the door, but once I'm there I'll probably be alright. A couple bottles of Z should do me right though. ;)
Of course this means that I have to go and get a decent pair of shoes, go and have a wax, I just know that a hot facial wax is going to hurt like hell, but it has to be done. What else is there? Have to get the usual, more stockings, some new powder and so on. Will have to try to get down to Fyshwick and check out a shoe-store down there which says they carry ladies shoes up to size 13. If they do, and if it's friendly, I might become quite a regular. But will see what the story is first. Might drop into Antics Hair and inquire about hair extensions, my own is now reasonably long (for me!), so I will try and get some more info about it.
What else is happening, Sam has been emailing me, so I might have to try an organize something on that front soon. What else is up? Don't know really, not too much. Still haven't contacted Sarah or Soba recently, must do that (I'm always saying that).
Really wish I knew whether Sarah read my page or not, I'm convinced (paranoia?) that she has and therefore that's why we aren't communicating like we did before. Oh well, I will have to try harder.
Finally over the flu which was dogging me all week-end, it's really quiet here now that everybody else has gone on holidays. Peaceful, though I'm sure it won't be like that for long, probably got another bus-load of cultists coming for a hoe-down.
Suppose that I should be glad that the Ball falls in the holidays, less people around that I might know, but Canberra being Canberra, you never know. After the Ball, we'll probably kick onto the Meridian, which is just a short walk away. Ball starts at ~7:15 pm so it will be dark. "All the creatures come out at night." Isn't that from Taxi Driver?
Says here, "Join us for the glitz, glitter and glam of the 1998 Ball." I presume that means that it's been on before, I think my own would run more along the lines of "Join me for the terror, panic and nerves of the 1998 Ball!" Heck, I wouldn't even know which toilet I would be supposed to use!
Must remember to get a disposable camera with a flash. Can't go and then have no pictures of my first step into the world. I have to admit that I haven't really thought of it that way, I've been aware of myself for about 12 years, but until this Saturday I have never been game to show it. If I make it into the Rex Hotel, I'll deserve an award. Not just for having made it, but for walking in heels while my legs are turning to jelly. Still, chin up! All you need to get by is attitude. Most people couldn't care, it keeps them amused. It's in the wrong part of Canberra to have drunken deckhands walking about harassing people. I guess I can test how strong my resolve is by stepping out into the real (?) world and meeting it head on with my breasts held high… ;)
Anyway, must make sure this list of things to do gets done, Szusza will skin me alive if I'm not ready to go once Saturday night rocks around.
Anyway, might sign off now, today was pretty productive, hopefully tomorrow will be as well. Gotta get some shoes… :)
