I used mine to buy two sets of <a href="http://www.mychemicalromance.com/shop/product/zone-badges-8-buttons">Zone Badges</a>. One of those sets is mine, all mine! But as for the others... uh, who wants one? :D <br /><br /> Since I am talking about sending people things, I should probably mention <a href="http://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/489168.html">$winterholiday cards</a> again. Locked post with screened comments. <br /><br /> This made my day: <a href="http://derangementanddescription.wordpress.com/2010/11/22/hello-archives/&quot;">Derangement and Description: Hello Archives</a> <blockquote>Over the next few months, he just would not stop talking about more Hello Kitty crap we could get for my office. Archivists, I know projection when I see it. And so some of us came in over the weekend to give Rob the workspace of his dreams.</blockquote><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&ditemid=491481" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-20:101964:481120 2010-08-24T02:52:25Z 2010-09-03T16:51:32Z public 9 <h2>Notes</h2> <p>Not dead! Back in Boston since Saturday, and already caught up on things!</p> <h2>Recently</h2> <p>Just finished eating half the curry I made tonight; the other half is in the fridge. I am going to bring it to work tomorrow. Leftovers for lunch - it's almost like I'm a real grown-up!</p> <p>Ellie and I went to the mall yesterday. We were supposed to get clothes for her. Instead, we got clothes for me. /o\ On the other hand, Hello Kitty rain boots in grown-up sizes, fuck yes.</p> <p>I continue to experiment with purple hair. Attempt 3 (dark purple over failed single-process bleach-and-purple) is the best yet but still not quite right.</p> <h2>Grand Forks</h2> <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/481120.html#cutid1">Spent nearly every waking moment with C., got to see my family, consumed much media.

But I think my journal will stop being All About My Boyfriend now; he'll show up from time to time along with other important people in my life.</p> <h2>Memery</h2> <p>From <a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org/poll/?id=4000">Ask Me Anything</a>:</p> <blockquote>Looking back, are you comfortable with the way you reacted when your sister came out to you?</blockquote> <p>Not really. :( I could have done more. I am especially disappointed with how little help I was to her in 2006/2007, her last year of high school, while she was trying to figure things out. True, I didn't have nearly as much knowledge of gender and trans* issues then, but I probably <em>still</em> could have been more supportive than I actually was.</p> <p>But as far as her actual coming-out? I think I did okay then, although I didn't adjust to name-and-pronouns as fast as I would have liked, even if there is a specific reason for it (trying not to out her to Mom and Dad before she had the chance to tell them herself).</p> <h2>Links</h2> <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___3" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/481120.html#cutid3">10 links</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___3" aria-live="assertive"></div> <h2>Plans</h2> <p>Figure out Netflix.
