Ho hum… Very boring night tonight, Susan and Jules home, so I sitting around here feeling a bit bored or whatever… I suppose maybe I've burnt a few too many bridges concerning the upstairs people, but it's too late for regrets now… ho hum… I know I suffer from a rather underestimated disease, chronic shyness… few people would believe it, but then few people would believe that I'm transgendered either… it's a bit late to go visiting anyway I guess… I just feel really embarrassed going to people to see how they are… I'm always worried I'll be interrupting or getting them out of something… who knows, these days I guess I'm becoming more of a recluse than ever… Bridget, Lloyd, Susan and Jules will all be moving out next year, then what will I do? Probably end up hanging from the rafters, since that was the only option left with any interest… *sigh* Pity really, the day was actually quite nice… I don't think the people who live on the upper floors appreciate just how being down here in the basement can effect a person… it's a combination of the bars on the windows, plus being surrounded by earth… kind of drags you down…
So yeah, guess I'd better run through the day so I will remember it.
Okkie, the next few lines go to prove that this is my diary of events and observations and not a newspaper about my life. If you've got sensitive eyes than skip the next bit.
So, yeah. Had my first erection and orgasm for about 6 weeks. It was odd, woke up with a full bladder and therefore a semi-erection. Lying there I wondered if I was still capable of orgasm, so after about 5 minutes or so, I was successful. No sperm, just seminal fluid. The peak of orgasm was unusual in that it was almost semi-painful… I guess the skin hasn't been stretched like that in quite a number of weeks… Thinking back I don't really miss it, my average number used to be about once a week (I've always had a low sex-drive), and now I get by quite well without it…
So yeah, that was an interesting personal observation, I'm not sure when the next one will be, maybe a few months from now… ;)
So, after a shower (unusual again I know, but guys are messy) went down to breakfast because I was out of milk, and got into work at about 9:30 am. Filtered off one reaction and worked up the other. The one I worked up was mostly crap which was disappointing… puttered around for a bit more and then I cycled into Civic at 10:45 am and went to the salon at 11:00 am. The girl did my eyebrows first, and that hurt, but not as bad as I remember from months ago. Then she asked me if I wanted brown-black, black or blue-black which was the darkest… after I moment, I thought ah stuff it, I'll have the blue-black. So she painted it on and I lay there for 10 minutes while it set, and after the excess was washed off, it looked really great. The eyelashes were just hanging out of my face… *lol* well, not that huge, but it was reasonably impressive. So after some generic shopping I got back to Uni about 12:40 pm and the barbecue was getting started. So after doing a few odd things around the lab I figured I would brave the crowd and went down… *begin dramatic music* and nothing… obviously I couldn't tell if they were talking about me behind my back, but that would be a little egocentric… so anyway, the barbecue was OK, nice to have some fresh cooked sausages and onion, not good for me I'm sure, but very tasty…
So after that I went back to the lab and worked diligently away. Now the printer isn't working at our end of the building, so I had to walk to the printer at the other end of the building several times in the afternoon. I bumped into one of the guys who I had been sitting with at the barbecue, and he said "What's the story with the make-up?" Of course after quickly considering and then discarding the "Oh, no reason" option, I did the old "Makeup? What makeup?" So that was rather humorous, and I have no doubt the rumors are already circulating at least amongst the honor students… *g*
So, after setting up a few more reactions, I was feeling kind of weird because I was thinking of going home and yet it was still light. C**** was playing on my computer so I couldn't work on OMNO 19 so I sat around until 5:45 pm and then I came home. Cooked some pasta and sat around doing the internet and ICQ thing. Had a little snooze between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm and after that I sat around and then decided to go for a shower. Had a nice shave, but exerted some self-control and didn't shave my arms. So I came back and after a bit Susan popped up on ICQ, so I went and chatted to them. Susan seemed to be in a bit of a funny mood, so I didn't feel like staying overly long.
So then I came back down here ostensibly to paint my nails, but in the end I've been chatting to Soba and Red on ICQ for the last hour or so…
Ok, it's now 1:30 am and I'm well and truly shagged out… time for bed times…
