Hmmm… obviously I'm quite bored or I wouldn't be writing a diary entry so early in the evening.
I'm just kicking around at the moment not doing very much, while the rest of the world is just starting their NYE celebrations. I got to bed at 6:30 am this morning, and have been sleeping on and off most of the day. Thankfully as I had very little alcohol I didn't have a hangover, just tired from being up so late. I collected the car and brought it back, and that was about my only venture outside. I figure I am going to be very, very bored tonight so I may go over to the lab and see if it is open, and perhaps set up some slow crystallizations.
I have to admit I did enjoy last night, the opportunity to spend it with my friends was appreciated. I am of course back here alone again, but for a few hours at least I had company and camaraderie. Again in another futile attempt, I tried to spur my New Year's resolution of meeting other Tranny's by leaving another ad on Pinkboard, but I am certainly not expecting anything.
I had a friendly chat to Monique outside the Meridian last night which was nice, she is a good person to talk to. I still have about 8 shots left on my camera so I'll have to wait a while before I can get them developed. Monique had a digital camera with her last night, and Szusza forwarded me some of the photos… :(
Wahhhh!!!! I look awful in photo's… My lips are stripped of skin and bright red, alternating bright red and white blotches on my face, and my face reveals every piece of yuck which could easily be covered with make-up, but which I can't wear. It really is depressing, because in the mirror, I see a face I like and yet these photos were so awful. I trashed them immediately.
*sigh* 11 Roaccutane tablets left which will take me through until Wednesday. Szusza is trying to organize a party with Aerial on the Australia Day weekend. I believe there was one that time last year which I missed. Well Dammit, I'm not going to miss this one. I go to South Australia a week after I get off the pills, and then the party is about 3 weeks after the pills too. I am hoping that I will be able to wear some make-up (particularly foundation and lip-stick) to that particular party if it happens.
Hmmm… I'm back looking at "Principles of Pharmacology", which says that the half life of Roaccutane is 29 hours, this is less than I had expected, I was thinking 72 hours for some reason. Well, that is good news, because it means that it should be almost totally removed from my blood within a week. Except that is, for certain metabolites which stay in the body for up to 6 months according to the packaging. This is why I can't get any electro for at least 2 months. Hmmm… they have a 1-800 number, might give them a ring later in the week.
I'm not too worried about the electrolysis really, but just wanting not to have festy face and all the other disgusting side-effects any more is what is driving me presently. I put up a question on the Anti-Jen mailing list asking whether anyone else had been on Roaccutane, and got a reply from "Fox-Glove" who said it cleared up her oily skin great, but had side effects like blood in the urine and so on. Thankfully there is a continuing effect against acne though.
Yeah, I know, bitch, bitch, bitch... *g*

11:45 pm - TV, email to Szusza and now on occasional ICQ to Michelle.
