things i love

[kaberett]

• the Discworld ConCom (seriously these people are AMAZING - like I e-mailed them last night to be all "thank you for having Mx as a default title! you're amazing! it made my day! who do I talk to about getting Msc added?" and by 8am had a "that's a trivial fix, I'll do it when I get home from work :-)" response) ♥_♥
  
• my useless lovely ex -- ♥ to you, Chris
  
• CODEINE
  
• my lovely, lovely housemates, who do not flap at me when I slide gracelessly from my washing-up-stool to the floor, but merely ask what I need, get it for me rapidly and without fuss, and then let me get on with it
  
• randomling, who has tonight held my hand through getting to grips with git, such that I will shortly be submitting HAVE JUST SUBMITTED my first DW patch since we migrated (thank you SO MUCH, sweetie ♥)
  
• making a difference to communities I'm involved with -- in this instance, identifying bugs and filing them and documenting things I've done where existing documentation doesn't cover questions I had (and got answered); and adding more stuff to Things Real Dreamwidth Programmers Do while I was at it; and vaginapagina, of course, and all the stuff I've done with that today
  
• HYPERBOLE AND A HALF WHICH JUST UPDATED AND IS GOING TO UPDATE AGAIN TOMORROW HOLY SHIT
  
• using my words and having it go okay
  
• all of my fantastic friends. seriously, you guys are so great, I cannot even
  
• being in a position to be all DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT I WANT RIDICULOUSLY HOMOSEXUAL HIPSTER CLOTHES and, um, I am so sorry, I now own ridiculously homosexual hipster clothes i'm not sorry at all BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH: starting to put together how I want to look, as part of who I want to be, and (1) not feeling bad or superficial or shallow for wanting to feel comfortable and at ease in my body and (2) being in a position, financially, to act on that

life. sometimes it's pretty good. I am much, much more okay than I was, and I'm not sure why, but there we go, I'm not knocking it. ♥ (Actually, I suspect some of it is that an awful lot was swilling around in my head and it desperately wanted out? And then I a poem and I felt better, so.)

*Wonders aimlessly what it means for clothes to be homosexual, and concludes that your pants are attracted to other pairs of pants, but not at all to your shirts.*

Glad life is pretty good sometimes. It seems you have good friends and they are priceless. I hear you on the codeine. I'm taking up to 8 x 30mg a day on some days.
