So I came out to my brother yesterday…

at 11:45 pm

So I came out to my brother yesterday. I was going to do it a long time ago in person but… I could never start the conversation. So a few weeks ago I arranged for some train tickets to be delivered to me here. Addressed to Lucy. The plan was for him to see the [...]

G.I. Joe and other fun tales

at 10:37 pm

So Friday, having nothing planned, I resigned myself to a day of doing nothing. Sam stepped in and offered a cinema trip. But then he suggested G.I. Joe…
I hadn’t head good things about that film. And, from what I could tell, it was very very VERY loosely based on the toyline. I reluctantly decided to [...]

Slovenská Republika

at 10:06 pm

Current Mood: TiredSo I’ve been in Slovakia for the past week. Got back yesterday. Wanna hear about it?
Tuesday
Got up later than I was planning, but that’s hardly a surprise. Packed up fairly quickly, though, by the time everything was packed, the suitcase was about 5kg too heavy. So I had to take a whole bunch [...]

Name fail

at 10:49 pm

Current Mood: SadIt’s funny how something as simple as a name can affect somebody so much.
I’ve just spent a week in Swansea, around some friends who were great and consistently got my name right. And now… I’m back in London at my mum’s house. Now… the problem with visiting friends is I get used to [...]

In which Lucy comes out to her grandparents

at 5:38 pm

Over a year ago, I made the mistake of having sign-for post intercepted by my grandpa. With a pseudonym. My old username (which I will not tell you. Ever). This is the very reason that username has bad connotation for me, and why I made the switch to strawberryutopia in the first place.
You’d think I’d [...]

Only a week to go until summer…

at 12:26 am

Current Mood: Alarmed & Sad & TiredThis is a weird experience for me. For the first time ever, I’m dreading the summer holiday. This time next week I’ll be back at my Dad’s house. It’s not that home is particularly terrible: it’s not. It’s just… with shorter holidays, it’s been the case that [...]

In which Lucy (provisionally) comes out to her brother

at 12:08 am

In an ideal world I’d have phoned him up and told him on the phone. That’s… difficult. As much as I’d like to explain everything to him on the phone, I don’t think I’m capable of doing so. I’d email him, but I really have no idea how to even begin, ’cause I can’t use [...]

In which Lucy actually gets some work done!

at 3:21 pm

Ok, the Internet has been off and on for the past few days, which has meant it’s been difficult for me to access my computer at Uni. But in the brief moments when I had a good connection, I downloaded the relevant files and started working on them locally. I really should have done this [...]

Backlog: The grandparents’ visit

at 6:00 pm

Right. I seriously need to get through this backlog. Don’t let me do that again. Where were we?

Once I finished with my Dad on the phone, after the obvious while where I got over how incredibly surreal it was, I got to undecorated my room. My grandparents were coming down the next day (Sunday), and [...]

In which Lucy’s car gets fixed

at 11:46 am

For some reason this didn’t get written or posted yesterday, or whenever I was going to write it. Anyway, there wasn’t much to say, so I’ll just summarize.
My car got taken for it’s MOT on… Monday I think. Yes, Monday. Early morning. I mean, really early morning. I think it was about 8:30 ><. So [...]
