The office of Dr. Bowers, a.k.a. Dr. Snip, has gotten my application and deposit. The nice lady gave me my preferred date because the woman who had it is a "serial canceller". (?!) She said the date is "solid" but said I shouldn't buy my ticket until it's formally confirmed two months prior. Still, whew!
Last night I went to my first PFLAG meeting. I didn't do it because I felt in need of a support group; I did it because I want to volunteer as a speaker for them, and their requirement is that I go to a couple of meetings first.

(Yeah, I had trouble shutting up. Surprise.)

Most of the people there were parents of gay people, and there was (inevitably, it seems) one other trans woman there. There were, however, several gay high school & college kids. I was struck by the amount of gay culture there is in high schools today. Sure, the gay students association at a school in the suburbs may still be small and its members don't make much noise, but it exists, officially even. I'd never heard of the Day of Silence.

Useful piece of info: one of the college kids - in a FCKH8 t-shirt - is involved in Equal Rights Washington. He said something about gay marriage being put to a vote in WA next year. I'm having trouble finding out exactly what he meant; it doesn't appear to be a ballot initiative. How did I miss that? Now I have to go back just to see him.

Nibs says I still reek from the garlic fries at Safeco Field two days ago. I still think they were worth the ostracism and intestinal distress.

Frenzied housework reeks, but Mom's arriving tonight, so we gotta.

The RIAA definitely reeks. Yeah, I know that isn't news, but this is: several Internet radio stations are joining the protest over the royalty hike that'll kill a lot of Internet radio stations.

A few major software vendors reek for not having plugins that work with 64-bit Linux. No audio or video for me, I'm afraid.

Oh, and IKEA reeks for picking on goths. I'm not taking my new chair back, though.
