Mega update

Time flies. A TON of stuff has happened in the past 9 months since my last substantive post. Glancing backwards quickly, there’s Misty of course, who’s been my white furry little daughter for over three months and is the angel of my life. There’s reconnecting with my aunt “E” and my cousins in Boston over Christmas. There’s spending New Years’ with fellow Alcovians, over 5 and a half years after the intense three weeks that we bonded together at CTY. There’s been all kinds of craziness at work that seems to finally be settling down. There’s spending two weeks with “R” in Colorado in September/October and a long weekend with Nora in Iowa. Between all of that, I visited Caltech once in the fall to give a round table about women in computer science. There’s finally receiving my birth certificate in August. I visited Reuven and Alyssa in Portland in March and also got to meet with my WoW guildies. Misty, “R”, and I took a trip up to the Sierras a few weeks ago so Misty could romp in the snow and live some of her sled dog heritage. I also recently re-bleached and re-dyed my hair so it’s solid purple :D. I’m heading down to Caltech for Ditch Day any time now for Tomorrow – my stack is looking like it’ll be fantastic. Nora’s permanently joining me in Santa Clara in June, which will be all kinds of fantastic fun.
Here’s to another exciting, fun, and happy 9 months, and being too busy to update my blog. :)
PS: if anyone at Caltech spots a “College Preparatory School 2005” yearbook with a light blue “scrabble board” cover lying around Blacker or Dabney, please let me know as it belongs to me and I am missing it from my move 16 months ago. If any CPS alums have a 2005 yearbook, I’d greatly appreciate a scan of my yearbook page to have a copy of (or alternatively if someone could fetch me a copy off of Harley, that works too). I’m intending upon rifling through the Housing storage areas while I’m down there for ditch day (I’m also missing some other choice things such as a NEC LCD monitor and most of my book collection/papers), but if I happened to leave it in a room in the Houses or somesuch, the chance of my randomly encountering it is next to nil…
Trans-related footnote: every 7-9 days now, ~30 min each with small and medium to ~4.75”, pain-free and no perceptible depth loss since 6 months ago even with more relaxed schedule. Nearing the two year mark!!! Thank you, Dr. Suporn! Trans angst is now pretty much barely a memory for me these days.
