| IN THE NEWS:
-I have been up at school for a week now and it is awesome. Very awesome. I've reverted to my hermit ways, door closed (it means I don't have to bind, cause that is effing uncomfortable sometimes) but I am happy. Classes are good. I have one on 'queer looks', lol. Representation of men and masculinity in the arts. That's kind of excellent.
-BRI IS AWESOME AND PASSED HIS FIRST ROUND OF COP EXAMS. A+. So hopefully he'll be up here soon...possibly even moving up. *_* happy day.
I'll go into more detail later mebbe. I'm add right now.

| I swear I have a life! Occasionally even one worth writing about!
So, in the news:
-I am seeing Bri TOMORROW. I mean, it'll be Monday by the time I'm done writing this, so...TOMORROW. FUCK YEAH. We plan to spend the week substituting buttsex for sleep to make up for the long semester ahead.
Though when I get that boy down here for Thanksgiving, the turkey ain't gonna be the only thing getting stuffed.
Oh yes. I went there.
-Later today (I'm going to pretend it's Monday already for the sake of this writing) I'm faxing over my letter and court order to RIT, so...delicious name change. I'm just hoping that
a) my financial aid doesn't get messy with all this
and
b) it gets to my RA (and other relevant people) in time. It should. School doesn't start for like two weeks. I just don't want to get up there and see the old name on my door again, you know? That was last fall. Awkward, awkward situation.
...and here it is half an hour later and I totally forgot I was writing this. LOL OOPS. Well, now it's Monday.
ANYWAY.
-I SOCIALIZED WITH PEOPLE. A lot of them, even. Liz, matron saint of Hall High's anime club and general big-sister figure to everyone in it, threw a DDR party. It was pretty damn awesome. And you know what? I had fun. I wasn't awkward. I may have even made a friend or two ;D And reconnected with some people I haven't seen in a while.
You know, it's interesting. I didn't explain my situation (I was already out to Liz, but nobody else there), but just introduced myself as Jack. The people that had known me before did their best with getting that right; the people that didn't, as far as I could tell, just read me as a guy.
One of the number one signs that I'm being seen as male is when people are surprised by my age, and I was getting that a lot. "So what grade are you in?" "Oh, I'm going into my sophomore year of college" "...srsly?"
Good sign.
-OMG SCHOOL SOON AAAH I HAVE TO PACK. I miss it, actually. I miss the privacy of my dorm, and my high-speed connection, and the possibility of a job, and having everything conveniently close, and even the classwork part. (I'm sure I'll be taking back that last part later, when I'm swamped in homework.)
-I get helfee. :3 No rly, though. I'm drinking lots of water, and I've gone down, like...15 lbs from my highest weight. This is very exciting. On the downside, a bunch of stuff I bought a while ago is all baggy on me now X) But that's not such a downside, is it?
-DID I MENTION THE PART WHERE I GO SEE BRI TOMORROW AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SEX? TRU FAX.
-I saw the movie Birdcage and now I'll never be able to see Nathan Lane as straight ever again. Ever.
-Bri has ttly gotten me into SG-1. Daniel is fucking adorable.
...yeah, I'm out of actual news. Lemme close this up before I start ranting or somesuch.
In conclusion:
-buttsex in georgia
-school zomg
-other stuff

| IT WENT THROUGH.
YOU MAY ALL CALL ME JACK. I have officially signed away the old name.
Mom's making me steak and everything. Celebratory dinner.
I AM HAPPY AS FUCK.

| Call Me Call Me is such an incredibly excellent song.
probate court in two hours. And I can't find what I wanted to bring in - the "name change statutes?" psh. Even the official Connecticut law database doesn't have anything outside of
1) marriage/divorce related name changes
2) birth/adoption related name changes
3) jurisdiction rules
ARGH. How weird is that?
I'm really really anxious about how this is going to go. ._. As my mom keeps pointing out, a lot of it is going to hinge on the judge's ego. If he's convinced he knows what he's talking about (he doesn't), I'm fucked. I'm going to approach it all as nicely as I can, like "hai sry i think there was a misunderstanding" and pray all can be resolved.
I really want this ._. And I want it before I go back up to Rochester. It would just make so many little things in my life run smoother.
...god I want to eat Yoko Kanno's talent. Seriously, this song is so great.

| There's been a whole lot of up and down lately, but right now I am happy and figured that in itself was reason enough to post.
News of note:
~I go back to court tomorrow to try to get my name change to go through. DEAR GOD, PLEASE LET THE PROBATE JUDGE NOT BE ALL SMIRKY AND WRONG THIS TIME. Thank you. I intend to have two pieces of paper with me: the statutes for gender-marker change, which he gave me last time I was there (fdsfgs NOT RELEVANT) and the statutes for name change, so that if I need to I can go "okay, here's what you think, here's what I'm saying, here's the law. CHANGE IT BITCH."
...I may be a little more diplomatic than that.
~Bri and I have been challenging each other to be healthier for the past 6 days, and as of today I've lost 5.5 lbs in the process O: And I feel better too. Both of us could probably stand to eat a bit more (I'M LOOKING AT YOU BRI) but I'm happy to be making an effort again. It's been too long.
~Two weeks from today, I'll be in Georgia, making nice with my sweetie's parents by day and banging him relentlessly into the mattress by night. Goooood times.
~fdsfgs KC NEEDS TO PAY ME ALREADY. I have like 300 bucks coming my way that have not yet come. And we still haven't started our new job. Fail.
~I get to go back to Rochester in like a month, yay.
Guess that's about all. :3
