FITTED INTO CAR
Now, we can pretend I haven't been worrying myself sick about this moving thing.
Plan:
* Work tomorrow
* Housemate making me CAAAAKE tomorrow night!
* 7am bus out of here on Thursday morning
* Sign lease at 11.30am
* Enrol
* Train to newie - rescued by parents
* Day trip to newcastle on friday to meet up with Shen! Intend to introduce her to Beaumont St. Hopefully Beaumont St is still interesting. May or may not also go to see William, may or may not tow Shen with me. This depends on things like how sleep deprived I am, and other people's schedule's, and my ability to navigate Newcastle buses.
* Get up stupid early, make parents drive me to Sydney. Be at Steve's by 10am to pick up first carload of stuff and the garage key.
* Parents have procured ute. Obtain ute, obtain house key, ferry stuff from Steve's garage to house.
* Cry about the impossibility of fitting my STUFF into my ROOM, stack boxes in garage, possibly make parents drive me to M'ville metro to buy underbed storage things.
* AND THEN I WILL BE LIVING IN SYDNEY.
Also if there is a Kerfuffle with the flat keys (there may be) I have the ability to cancel my newie outing in favour of a day trip to sydney to cut keys with Sjazz.

Advice they give to straight girls
Feb. 9th, 2010 10:07 pmThis might sound like Stating The Bleeding Obvious, but the advice most commonly given to straight girls about sex and relationships is not the same as the advice given to queer girls. Even discounting "it's just a phase" and variants on that theme, the advice given to queer girls by fellow queers and supportive persons of all stripes is not the same as the advice given to straight girls by fellow heterosexuals and supportive persons of all stripes.
And, ok, what I mean by that is "the advice given to me about sex and relationships as a straight girl was not the same as the advice given to me as a newly minted queer girl". And the context in which I received these genres of advice were pretty far removed - most of the first was in religious context, or in the knowledge that I was religious; most of the latter has been given to me by secular persons to me as a secular person. But nevertheless I am aware that many other straight girls receive the same advice I did, and many other queer girls receive the same advice I did, so I'm going to proceed on with my generalisations. And some of my straight-person advice I took from secular books like Everygirl, and some of my queer person advice was given by my church friends.
