It is never an appropriate way to start a conversation with a New Orleanean.</strong></blockquote> <br /> To update, belatedly, about Irene: I am really kind of shocked we didn't lose power. Very uneventful hurricane here in JP. <br /><br /> Conclusion: Doctor Who is not my new fandom. It is my new entertainment candy. (Conclusion drawn after noticing my total lack of interest in reading other people's reaction posts.) <br /><br /> That said, I think this leaves me adrift, fannishly. Actually I think at this point <em>fandom</em> is my fandom. <br /><br /> I've been kind of hiding out for a few weeks. Minor depressive downswing, I guess - I'm not sure I would even have noticed it (or, you know, experienced it) except that I've been so bad about taking my meds lately. Only really seems to have affected my social - I haven't been updating as much, have skipped loads of munches, etc. And it doesn't help that my semi-guaranteed social time (Battletech) hasn't happened for a few weeks because our GM burnt out. <br /><br /> Pleased to report that the Mirena seems to have finally stopped the bleeding portion of my period. I am still experiencing the early-warning cramps (which I only developed this past year-ish) but as those seem to be decreasing in severity I can hope they'll cease, too. <br /><br /> This leaves me with an unopened DivaCup, size 1 (won in the Muskrat Jamboree raffle back in April). Anybody want it?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&ditemid=518739" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-20:101964:481863 2010-08-30T03:29:13Z 2010-11-24T16:02:05Z public 0 <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/481863.html#cutid1">linkspam, special Katrina anniversary edition</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div> <br /> <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/481863.html#cutid2">everything else</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&ditemid=481863" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-20:101964:481604 2010-08-28T21:17:33Z 2010-08-28T21:18:56Z public 8 <h2>Links</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/481604.html#cutid1">10 links</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div> <h2>Plans</h2> <p>Scissor Sisters concert with Ellie.</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&ditemid=481604" 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.

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.
