Yumi's Totally (Not) Exciting Update.
12 years ago
Haven't posted a journal for a while so I thought I might as well post something!
Okay so updates!!!
Moved Out
Since my last journal post I've finally moved out of my parents home (although they are still being somewhat clingy), I'm very happy there. Reather than being home sick… I am sick of home!
Student Finance
I am still wrestling with student finance… rang them a stupid amount of times, owe my boyfriend so much… this is just getting stupid and i'm just getting so mad at them. They've told me so many diffeernt things which havent happened and sent me duplicates of many letters of which they say I don't need to return because i already have them. I rang a girl today 'Stacey' and after a bit of time on hold mid call she says 5 days..I hold them to that or I'm making another complaint email…they hadn't even replied to the first one…
hopefully I don't have to stop my course because of it… It's not easy… I'm so behind …wdskhjlh;ldflh;
20th Birthday
It was my 20th last wednesday (2nd October). Had a nice day overall. Had a class photo (well half of the class) in the lecture theatre and had my birthday sang to me by random people on my course! xD
Got a nice new shiny Ibanez bass, shall be playing him everyday. >8D
There were some family arguments between my brother and dad, glad I wasn't there… things like that always happen (see why I wanted to get away? ), it totally made the end of the day awkward and my brother didn't attend my birthday dinner because my brother and dad wouldn't sit together. I'm glad I took Will along with me, he helped me feel a lot better and it was alright in the end once we all managed to cheer my dad up.
Cycled through my messages when I got home and replied to each and every one of them, I am greatful for each and everyone… was quite overwhelmed… ^^
Furmeets
I haven't been to a few furmeets now but I am going to be coming back! I will be attending the next furmeet (Oct 12th) to see all my friends and help out as a volunteer (I find this a better thing for me to do because I can be quite shy).
Gender Identity
I suppose I've always been thinking about this since forever but I've always put it to one side (sorta like my sexuality really). In my family it is seen as a disgrace to be anything other than your assigned gender at birth. I have always been teased or been pushed down because my sex is female and I've always had the female gender pushed on me by my mum, although it has been met with resistance over time i got tired of fighting…
I do not feel that I am really all that female but gender fluid (mostly agender leaning towards male), I'd come to this realisation probably about 5 or 6 months ago but hadn't done anything about it.
In all fairness when the gender question pops up on a form or application I don't think I'll complain about there not being an agender or non-binanry gender or other gender variant option. I'll just tick female because that's what society understands best. Is that so bad? I don't think so, I just don't like to make a scene about these things.
I think now I have a little more freedom I may try to embrace this rather than push it to one side because my family don't approve (they've always made it very clear).
I have been fortunate enough to get my binder from the MORF scheme and would happily repay them when I can or even raise money for it. It has sparked a confidence in me although I admit that some comments can shoot me down again and make me feel like shit (I have had a few which have made me a bit meh feeling)… x.x;
I'm trying to make things better one step at a time though, I don't mind being being reffered to with the pronouns he, she or they. But please do not use it or anything similar… (it's a little bit rude…don't ya' think?)
Time Management
Well things have been up and down. I've been sketchy… still getting used to the routine. I'm doing more art again, even planning some cute little flash animations… not sure whether to upload here or to another account though. ^^
Best ways to get me are Facebook, text or emails… that always gets me straight away. ^^
I hope you are all doing well, I haven't caught up with many people for a while now.
