9:00 pm - Friday 9th June 2000

Ever been in the situation where you know someone is having a really rough time and you can't do anything but watch and hope it gets better? *sigh*

Today, work wise at least was very slow. Very little got done, mostly because I was killing time until my hair appointment at 2:00 pm. It was long (2.5 hours) because I had a deep purple colour put on with blondish highlights. I know it sounds weird, and at the moment it's still fluffy, but I think it will look good in a day or two once it settles down.
That was long and boring, and I finally got back to Uni, and gave up on the experiment I had started. I went into Civic and did some shopping, just odds and ends for the Ball, when I bumped into Catherine and Jo-Anne in Target (a generic shopping store). I hadn't seen Catherine since February, and Jo-Anne since the Glitter Ball, so I chatted away animatedly to both of them. Three tranny's close together drew a few looks, and I was wondering whether there was some unknown law of the Universe that if more than three are together in the one spot, there's an enormous explosion and a release of gamma rays. ;)

11:45 pm - I'm currently trying to pack for the trip up to Katoomba this weekend. I'm sure I'll forget something, that's just an inevitable facet of human existence, I'm sure I'll get there and say "Damn I forgot to bring my solar powered eyelash curler". (I'm only using this as an example, don't worry I just checked, and my solar powered eyelash curler is safely packed.) ;)

I have a vague idea of what I'll be wearing on each night, Saturday is like a big dance/rave thing, so I'll probably strip off to my crop top and jeans as I start to get warm. Sunday is the Ball, and I guess I'll go with the short black dress. I only have two black dresses, one short "little black dress" and my long black gown (there's altogether too much black in my formal wardrobe, but I didn't want to have to buy a new one). As I'm discovering, my brand of "Goth" is not black, in fact it's almost the absence of black, or rather it's the "hint" of black… lots of muted purple, lilac's, contrasted white's, somber red's…
Anyway, I won't be going "Goth" per se, as I only discovered the theme is "Olympics" (fuck, I wish the Olympics were over already) and this kind of clashes with what I wanted, so I'm working an idea around it (rather nifty if I say so myself) and I'll see how it pans out.

Oh, I nearly forgot, this is my 300th diary entry. Wow, think of all the crap I had to write before I got as far as writing this dull stuff.
