Ding, dong… Avon calling.
I must be going insane… today I watched about 4 hours of Sailor Moon and really enjoyed it. Ok, the weekend in depth. Saturday morning I was bored and so after messing about on Saturday morning I rang Susan and Jules's place at about noon. Only Jules was home, because Susan had headed down to Cooma. I chatted with Jules a while and not long after Susan and her Mum got back. So I chatted to Susan and she said to come on down so I did. The green car hadn't been driven all week, so I filled it up with oil and without much further ado headed down to Woden.
I got there without getting to badly lost and soon got in and said hello to all (Susan, Jules and Mrs Bultitude) and got to see their place now that it was all set up and looking very flash (if a little crowded). After chatting for a while we went shopping for some home essentials in Woden shopping centre and then to do lunch. Susan had obviously filled her Mum in on any grayness surrounding me which was good of her and thankfully that wasn't a problem. So we had a late lunch and then went back and watched a video, walked to the video store to return the ones they had picked up earlier in the week and then in the evening we all went to the dodgy Chinese place in Manuka and came home and stuffed ourselves. After that more videos and I headed off at about midnight to come home and collapse in my empty bed.
I really had a great time. I know that I could easily let my apathy degrade the friendships I want to keep, so I was glad I could spend time with them. (Private note : When I got there, Jules was looking really attractive. I don't know whether it was because I hadn't seen him in a while or maybe the hormones were playing tricks.)
I was also happy that they managed to call me Steph most of the time and used female pronouns. Why? I've had a false personality for so long, I have to put down the mask and show my real personality to the world. But this new me need validation from my friends to assist me in my new growth lest I become bitter and isolated. That they are helping me to see myself as I wish to be as much as I am trying to help myself, lets me know they are true friends. I can't think of too many of the others I know who would do the same.
Bridget apparently got back today, I told the others to say hello if they saw her. I doubt I will see her during the week, and I will be gone this weekend coming (hopefully) so I doubt I will see her for a while.
Today I didn't do very much. I watched some of the Sailor Moon videos which Jules had lent me. I chatted with Mum on the phone (~2:30 pm), and there wasn't much happening at home except that my middle brother is over at Duntroon doing hid final officers training for the Reserves. Then I went for a long gentle bicycle ride over and around Civic to get some fresh air. It really was a nice day. I came back and had a nap, then went and watched another 4 episode of the Sailor Moon (I have the damn tune in my head now… "Fighting evil by moonlight… AHHHHH!!"
I figured I was getting way to little exercise so I went for another jog around the Uni and got back here carrying a nice amount of sweat. Showered, then updated my diary finally and now just puttering around. I need to send Illara a happy Birthday email… just did it.
I'm also trying to organize my plane ticket to Adelaide, but haven't been able to chat with Soba all weekend.
Hmmm… ok, after midnight, time to catch some Z's. I'll upload this and then do the old crash-o-rama. See y'all! :)
