My Daddy took me and the two friends who have adopted me and let me come stay with them over holidays and such, out to dinner. It was quite lovely, not least the part where I didn't even have to look at the bill. I really need to hang out with my old friends more. And also my new friends. X is thinking of holding Y's b-day party in my room (she was kind enough to inform me of this today), so at least I have planned-time to spend with new friends at some point. I miss you, sylvanstargazer!

And my Daddy got me a printer!!!! W00000t!

We had the L-B-T-A-Q-random other acronym panel at tea today. Karine showed up with a friend and said, we're here to be your T. At which point I got very confused, since he was very definitely a girl when we were roommates my firstyear, so this was the last thing I was expecting. I have to adjust to calling him "Casey" and calling him "him", and we got in this big conversation on gendered pronouns that ended up asking whether even biological sex might be partly a social construct, which was fascinating, and convinced me some things that I had been musing over in transgender issues were not clear-cut so I really didn't have a basis to hold those opinions. Which is cool, cause it isn't often that things happen to change a reasoned-out opinion. I don't like labels in any case, and I don't particularly believe in gender, so I really shouldn't be judging this issue. Even "gender-neutral" is too much of a definition and a box for me. I am a woman but I don't know what it means, but I know what it doesn't mean and it doesn't mean all those social connotations that go along with being a woman or even their antitheses, because that's just not who I am. I am me, I think gender is irrelevent, and good Lord I'd love to be a gay male and fucking Chris Kirkpatrick, but that's not going to happen in any reality I know of.

Sleep now. Sleep. Sheep sleep? Oh, so that's why we count sheep. Cause it rhymes.
I am tired.

But I thought Kasey was an '05. (No offense to Kasey, but that must have been weird for you)

It was a bit odd, yes. Not an experience you have everyday. He is the same person and yet defines himself differently, so I have to adjust to defining him differently. First year, he never went to classes, so he couldn't come back for academic reasons until he made up the work, so he's a year behind me now.
