10:40 pm Wednesday 8th September 1999

Hey, check it out, my birthday was exactly 6 months ago! So that makes me 24 and a half, and it's all downhill from here… pretty weird considering most of my friends aren't even 21 yet. Still, I not the oldest student in Johns, that award goes to Amanda, neither am I the most notorious John's Ball personality, that award goes to… *g*
So, another day and another kilo put on… well it's not actually that bad, but I have way got to cut back on the sugar intake, Christ Mum, don't you know I've got to look fantastic for a ball in a week!? Well, I guess she doesn't, but we'll see how that turns out soon enough… *begin ominous music* *s*
So? What have I been up to? I slept through my kung-fu movie last night because I set the alarm incorrectly, therefore I got too much sleep and woke up at about 9:30 am. Stumbled to the shower around 10:00 am and that was nice, this trip home is not doing my skin the good I thought it might. Too much sugar and a change in diet is just causing the spots to become inflamed. I'm hoping and praying that the week back at Uni. will be sufficient time for things to get back under control.
My face looks utterly hideous, I am surprised I am allowed to walk around without a paper bag on. I've reached that certain time after shaving where an entire layer of skin peels off my face. So, I have my short stubble and loose dry skin from my neck to cheek bones… lips are pretty bad too, though I am trying to keep them moisturized… So by about 2:00 pm I had become very bored of watching news bulletins, so I drove into town to check the email. I had a fair bit, a letter from Szusza which was nice, and a few other bits and pieces. Went to the supermarket out of boredom, then came home after a drive around the direction of Jones's Bridge which was nice. Vegged around, had a snooze then watched Daria and built the fire. Dad then Mum got home and we did the usual family chat and dinner thing and so on. Then I came back to my room and started writing letters. Finished one to Szusza and another to Mrs. Doak, and maybe tomorrow I will start composing one to Soba.

11;40 pm – Just finished writing my last email to Michelle, I will post it to her after the Ball. The quote which I felt best summed it up,

"I'm crying because out there she's gone, but she's not gone inside me."

*Sigh* It's not an easy thing to deal with… :(

OK, so what's on for the rest of the week and tomorrow? I'll head back to Uni. with Dad on Saturday, then that night I will be going to Red's little party over in Red Hill. After that I guess I'll be getting stuck back into the lab work with hopefully renewed vigor…
Tomorrow, not very much. Sloth around a fair bit and maybe have a little friendly chat with Mum… (note emphasis on three little dots) apart from that, not much.
No transgendered tirade tonight, I'm terribly tired (how's that for ample alliteration!). *lol*
