Christmas Music Night!

So we did our Christmas concert for the university today and yesterday. It was kind of a hosposh collaboration of all the music departments. All of them did there own program for the show. I play with the sympony and bass for one of the numbers that the choir did.

I was quite shocked when the house was packed for it. Back at the community college. We were lucky to get about 100 people for these things. But at the university that I'm going to, we had over 700 people both nights to see us.

The first night was nice but the second night something unexpected happened. During one of the songs, the fire alarm when off. Everybody had to exit the building until the fire department came and shut off the alarm. There was no fire or anything but, it was still fun just the same. After that was all sorted out the concert when on with out any problems.

Now for tomorrow, I have jury's for percussion. Fun times I think...

Cake Love

SO the cake is done (mostly). Not quite what I pictured in my head but then again they never are. I usually go in with a vague idea and come out with something that you can tell is related but not the exact idea. Every cake I've ever done has come out that way.

Anyhow I go very uninterested in baking because my head was in a crap place so it took me a while to finish. In the end I went with the PB/C concoction that was first in my head. Not the exact shape or design but I'm happy how it turned out. I need to do a write up tomorrow of what is in the cake. I'm not sure what to name it but here's a basic description: A dense, deep, devil's food cake sandwiched between layers of a light fluffy rich peanut butter french butter cream topped and swirled with a smokey brown sugar chocolate ganache. Can anyone think of a name?

The ganache and I had a minor disagreement but I managed to save the day and I think in some ways the cake looks better. Now instead of a solid smooth shiny outside it has more of a marbled look as you can see bits of the peanut butter cream and I swirled it a little. The butter cream and I also got into a small confusion as I expected it too look one way when it was ready and it went with another look. Adding the peanut butter at the beginning made it very hmmmm soft and not as chunky. I can't quite describe it honestly. You sort of have to know the properties of my normal butter cream for it to make sense. It came out more like a sauce even with that weirdness it spread beautifully. Anyhow tastes great. I sort of modified the recipe on the fly again like I do almost every time I bake anything. Did the same to the cake. Oh and the ganache.... okay so everything in the cake is changed from the recipes I ganked online. Mostly I just use recipes now for ratio and so I don't forget to add anything.

Tomorrow I have to get out and shift the settled cake onto the tray I'm using to take it in and then finish the decoration. I'm going with simple and elegant. I'll probably put small peanut butter beads all around the base and swirl-stars on the top. I'm trying to decide if I want to accent it in any other way and I don't think so. I may not put the stars on top as I made a cool swirl design I like and I think everything will become too busy. Small peanut butter beads around the base maybe be all I do unless I can think of some cool to do up top. I sort of hate leaving it blank, feels a bit too understated then. Oh well I'll sleep on it. Need to remember to take pictures too.

Snowwwwwwflakes :D

Haha, the free snowflake was the best idea LJ has ever had. I've been sending that thing out like crazy, in case you haven't noticed :p
I noticed some of you have a setting that doesn't allow for virtual gifts, so if I didn't get to you, that's probably why.

And I've gotten sooooo many back, it's ridiculous. LOL, my profile page looks like a snowflake battlefield. One day, OT posts on [info]ontd_ai will be the death of me :p
Most of the snowflakes are from there and from my lovely f-list, so thank you guys! <3
I can't do much as far as postcards or wishlists on [info]ontdai_wishes are concerned that cost actual money (even though some people will probably get something anyway. Who needs food and rent and school books when you can spend money on international postage stamps! :D), so these snowflakes are a lovely way to get to you all.

I love you all and despite me being completely un-cheerful and not filled with Holiday spirit this year, I do wish you all lovely Holidays and all that. Down some eggnog in my honor, will you? ;-)

PS: If you really wanna get into the Holiday spirit, go and watch the movie 'Make The Yuletide Gay'. It's adorable and Christmas-y and gay and funny and makes you wanna be adopted by the central family in it :D

Oh yes yes yeeeees

I'm listening to the various Depeche Mode box sets I have. I just encountered a CD in one comprised entirely of instrumentals. Their early instrumentals are INCREDIBLE and I am happy I started this little project.

Also, thank you so much for the virtual gift, [info]scattermoon! It is pretty! I love snowflakes. (Now I want to go make some paper snowflakes, haha!)

I give up.

I've been trying on and off for months to get uShare to compile on my Debian machine. I give up.

If anybody has had any success getting uShare to work on Debian, I'd appreciate some input. I've tried to follow the instructions from http://stabbyjones.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/install-ushare-in-debian-from-source-for-streaming-to-xbox-360/ , but they fail while compiling libdlna. Specifically:


profiles.c: In function âdlna_item_get_propertiesâ:
profiles.c:596: error: âAVCodecContextâ has no member named âbits_per_raw_sampleâ
make[1]: *** [profiles.lo] Error 1


Any thoughts?

Difficulty: This is on an -amd64 machine.

clinic in in London Charings Cross

Am I likely to get hormonal treatment straight away, or will it take a while? Am I better off going privately to Dr Curtis at Transhealth.co.uk, or should I wait for it @ Charing Cross? Money is tight, but it's not an option for the best treatment possible. I'm getting electro as we speak, and I'm in the process of growing my hair.

I haven't really told my family. I've just decided to take things as they come and let people come to their own conclusion. It might raise a few eyebrows, but I'm sure things will be ok in the end.

What sort of things should I expect when i start taking hormones (by hook or by crook I'll get them) and what do I need to be taking to get maximum benefit?

Someone else on here mentioned that they got little/minimal treatment from Charing Cross, and that it wasn't time-effective. How true is this.

I'm pretty crap with words, so I don't even know if they'll take me seriously. I can barely take myself seriously as it is. I wish I'd just been born female. I'd be normal if I had been, instead of being labelled as a gay man - which I don't feel anyway. I do feel more like a woman than a man, and I've always said it - but I've only had the nerve to do something about it now.

Drop me a message if ya'll have time.

Thanks

Sunday update

Creative subject, huh?

I spent most of the day in bed, playing video games. Do not feel good. At all. I think it's just the season. My body historically hasn't liked changes in season. None the less, I really should have been doing something.

Well... I did do some. I did some research for a fill I started some time ago, and really want to do it. I need to stop taking on kink meme fills before I finish the ones I have open. I did that again last night, started a new fill. Oh well.

I may or may not get to updating one of my fills tonight. It hinges entirely on if I get my part of the paper done on time. It should be no problem. 1.5 pages, double-spaced. Holy crap, that should be easy for me to do. But then again, Cal expects me to do Christmas cards and present wrapping tonight.

Eh... What happens, happens.

This journal

I wrote up related entry in my other LJ back at the beginning of September that addresses a similar subject. That is, first and foremost, I've been wanting to collalesce my writing into a more formal setting, so it can be avaliable to people online. I want to be able to use the resources of the internet to it's fuller potential. I was also so worried about people taking my ideas but since my most recent story has grown into such a lively, passionate piece, regardless of quality, I find I don't mind sharing it. But I want to know wherever I have it up, it's clearly copy-righted to me. I'm not sure what accomplishing that means, other than just stating that at the bottom of the site. But then I have to consider what I post in regard to Fanstory.com and also what I would be willing to post on LJ, simply for publishing reasons. I heard that if you post something previously online, such as here, it wouldn't be allowed to be posted elsewhere and/or in a book. Though I'm not sure I understand that, seeing as it's my property, but I'm still cautious. Though I kind of understand the book-aspect.

Anyway, I'm seriously considering moving this journal (my writing journal) over to my main journal. My reasons are pretty much the same as what I said in the linked entry. The reason I switched my mind about which one I wanted to use is basically I'd like to start fresh with what I post and the order I do it in. My writing categories have completely altered since I started this journal and I would really like to start over. I feel a need for a change and since I have very little writing under my main journal I'll just keep using that one.

Thank you to the few people whoever read this. That is all.

Who is your best friend and why she or he is so important to you?

In 'Real Life' my BFF is [info]holly_38901 because she's awesome.

Oh you want a better reason than that? Okay, firstly she really helped me settle in at uni and deal with someone messing me around a bit. Also, she knows me better than I ever thought it was possible for another person to know me. When I get in a crappy mood she never gets annoyed with me, and she always seems to know exactly what to say or do to make it better.

Plus she is the only person who shares my level of enthusiasm for all the geeky things I love, and for dressing up and playing with sparkly makeup.

Oh oh and she makes the most amazing cookies.


My best LJ friend is [info]sunsets_dinos, who is also awesome.

We can (and do) chat about absolutely everything, and encourage each other to ever lower depths of depravity. She has corrupted my innocence (and I love it).


So yeah, Holly and Kate, I love you guys. *cuddles*

I have a few best friends, because I am a greedy cow. However, my official best friend is [info]esdi_leanne who I shall take the opportunity of declaring my undying love to on the internet. Esdi saved me from boredom, madness, frustration and grief during my first year at Uni by letting me sleep on her floor whenever I was sick, pissed off with Lottie or sad after my Gran died. Since then she has promoted me to sleeping on a spare bed (most of the time) and continues to feed me and listens to my constant high-pitched whining on a regular basis. I should also add that her fiance [info]orkamedies is the most tolerant man on the earth for putting up with my presence in their home so very often, especially as my presence usually comes part and parcel with very silly korean films, bizarre stories, questionable religious iconography and other things which shall remain unmentioned...

My other best friends include all the Tianjin girls, because we were so unbelievably cool during that year abroad. Not hard when you're the only non-asian on a dancefloor, but we still rocked. Particularly [info]polarvenka who knows that I adore her and taht my life would be a whole lot less interesting without her in it. I love you Jo!

The Inklets also deserve a mention; [info]flickerswitch and [info]inkannie have helped to nurture my creativity, despite serious risk to their mental health.

Ok. I'm done with my (potentially homoerotic) gushing over my lovely friends. Anyone who feels desperately insulted at their not being mentioned, it's probably because I forgot that you were on LJ. Take comfort in the fact that I love all my friends, as I am a friend whore.

I need Cake Help

So on Monday there is a cake contest at work.

How ridiculous do I want to get in this contest.

I was thinking of doing a snowman in fondant and cake. I would need a dowel down the middle with each layer having a little cardboard base

I would make each layer a different flavor (bottom-chocolate ganache/kahlua, middle run/raisin carrot cake, top--rich yellow pound cake). The top hat and carrot nose would be rice crispy treat as would the coal buttons. The arms would be hard sugar I pulled into shape.

The cake I have in my mind's eye would be amazing, fantastic and gorgeous. All would bow before its cakey wonder.

The cake would also be expensive and a fuck load of work. So I'm wavering. I could also just make a gorgeous peanutbutter bomb cake with a rich chocolate cake base covered in chocolate ganache.

Or a run rasin carrot cake with a decadent cream cheese frosting.

Or go buy the rose mold I saw in Christmas Tree shop and cover it in a white chocolate and paint the petals.

I want to do something amazing but i can't quite decide. And I make a freakinshly good French Buttercream so I kinda wanna use that.

Any thoughts valiant readers?

Merry Christmas



As we were putting up the decidedly pagan tree in our living room, I thought, "What has this got to do with the Son of God being born?"

Buggerall, and in fact none of it really has much to do with what I believe. So in the spirit of a possibilian faith, may I wish you all the best in a season which I refuse to call Winterval but which, for me, is largely devoid of religious significance.

It has huge personal significance. As we were putting the decorations on the tree, each one bought at a different Christmas Fair or visit to a Garden centre (or handmade when I was unemployed), I was assaulted by the thought of how easily this could all come crashing down. I will fight to keep it all together.

Two questions...

about "The Last Hero".

'Really? And have you heard the saying "You cannot cheat Fate"?' said Fate.
Mad Hamish rose in his wheelchair. 'Ha' ye heard the sayin' "Can yer mither stitch, pal"?' he yelled.


I amn't a native English-speaker, so I haven't got what really Hamish's "saying" means (and Google didn't help me). Is it some idiom, quote or what?

I have a problem...

You know what I love about the grand theft auto games?

It doesn't have to do with the fact that the games are make by adults for adults. It doesn't have to do with the fact that you do dastardly deeds that would get you in jail if preformed in real life. Nope, I like to perfect the games by trying to get %100 completed of all the tasks. I do this a lot in video games. It just seems that I can't stop. In super punch out I have to get the best times or in super Mario world 2 I have to find all those red coins and whatnot. Is there something wrong with me? Why can I just play games for the fun of it? Or, do I have fun finding every little thing in every game that I play. Hmmmmm.

I guess to put it in a nutshell I like games.

PS: I posted something! Yay! ^^

Disgusting (WARNING: NSFW!)

Has anybody actually seen this site? http://www.transgendered.net ? Because this is pretty much the sickest thing I think I've seen in a long long time. When I think of myself as transgendered, I think of something I wasn't born as, as something I need to become, not as a rodeo clown show circus freak and that's exactly what this site is commercializing on. Seriously, MtF rubber masks? What is this Buffalo Bill shit? Is anybody else as completely skeeved out by this as I am? It gives the entire community as a whole a bad name and only reenforces non trans folks to continue to see all the negative stereotypes that comes with being us, not that we're everyday human beings like anybody else.

If I could I would boycott this site up it's ass. Who's with me?

When I went to my first gynecologist appointment at age 18, it was with a female.  Since she was part of a family practice, she had also recently examined my mom, and when she tried to make girl talk, she told me, "Wow! Deep vaginas must run in the family".  

Then, she sang "come out, come out wherever you are" to my cervix.  I'm 26 now, and I have only been to male gynecologists since then.  Whew.

Dear Frank,

Last year I mailed you two postcards, "Next year, I want to get my tree with you" and "I will not wear mistletoe to work," both referring to the same crush.

I was bowled over just now to see that someone had wondered how my first secret turned out.

This year, I will celebrate the holiday with someone wonderful . . . but he's not the guy I wrote those secrets about. Even if I hadn't fallen in love this year, this Christmas would find me fairly indifferent to the person I mentioned in that postcard.

Time work wonders.

I just gave myself a headache thinking about all this stuff that is interconnected.

I'm so scared about money and my grades and being so far behind in my classes recently that sometimes I feel paralyzed in bed and can't get up because the feeling is so overwhelming. I kind of want to cry but I can't so I just stare at the wall and lie there feeling scared. I have $5 in my bank account and am late on my credit card payment, which is a fear I have so that only makes me more scared.

Financial help is one of the biggest things that I always wished I would have that I never really had.

Random stuff! \o/

So, ultrasound this morning (no, I am not pregnant, unless my child is the second coming of Jesus 'kay?)! The thing about an ultrasound is you have to drink about a litre and a half of water before hand. So of course, we get to the hospital and the car park is closed. So we have to park down the road and walk >_< And of course my dad is a sadist and spends the entire walk making wooshing water sounds, talking about trickling mountain streams, and asking if I want to skip. Git >[

All went well, even if I got a letter today saying that My appointment has been moved back to February 1st *facepalm*

Ah well.

Hetalia gathering tomorrow! We're meeting at Manchester Piccadilly station at 11am-ish, so anyone who wants to join us (some of us will be in cosplay - I will be wearing part of my England uniform - but only part. Don't feel comfortable walking around in a full military unfiform XD)... I say us despite never having met any of the people going XD But well, I hadn't talked to a lot of people I love on LJ first before I met them XD Should be fun I hope, and hopefully they'll be more my age rather than people under 18. Should be. Don't want to get done for kidnapping XD I just remember the fiasco of the Huddersfield manga society where I was the oldest person there by about 5 years and they gave me a parental consent form to sign *snickers madly* That was funny. Is a good example of the rule that 'just because you share a hobby, does not mean that you will necessarily like people' which is too often forgotten. But yeah, hopefully will get some Christmas shopping done too! Since I have done nothing. And have not yet written any cards. God I fail XD I swear, starting to write them in September next year.

Speaking of Hetalia... kind of. They released the draws for the World Cup today! \o/ England's first match? Is against the USA! This amuses me *grins* And makes me imagine England and America having hot sweaty post-match sex in a locker room.


Hmmm... I'm oddly in the mood for fic featuring long, slow, sensual, sweet love-making today XD Complete with lots of romantic touching and licking and possibly scars. Uh... one of those things is not like the others XD


Work was very busy today :/ People go a bit insane when it gets to Christmas, seriously. The whole part about goodwill to all men apparently doesn't apply to people who work in shops. Especially when you absolutely have to buy that special Christmas tree bauble at 5.28 when the shop closes at 5.30. GAH! Gah I say! We do not sell anything that cannot wait until tomorrow! Didn't help that the boss didn't let us put a call out saying we were closing until 5.28 and at that point said that we were closing in 10 minutes :/ Not happy. So yeah, have spent much of the day feeling moderately homicidal. This is my general state of being when I'm at work though so it can't have been too terrible.

Really weird moment yesterday though when a guy came over to my till, called to his wife who was in the middle of a conversation with someone, wouldn't tell her what he wanted, just kept calling her name, then physically dragged her over and bitched at her for not following him.

Or the time when a woman asked me if we had bauble hooks in gold to which I replied 'No we don't, sorry. We have out all the stock that we have.' This is the standard answer to stop people asking us to go and check in the back (we apparently have a magical back room where we hide things from customers). Another woman then snapped at me with 'I'm sorry, but that isn't an answer! She asked you if you had any in gold!'

O_o What part of 'no we don't' is not an answer?!

And I swear, the next person who comes up to me during my first 10 seconds of calm during the last half hour saying 'you look lonely' or 'you must be bored, I'll give you something to do!', I will imitate Okita Souji in [info]damned and stab them with a fucking pen! Especially the woman who said that it would help me keep warm O_o

At least none of them claimed that it must be a lovely place to work despite the general 'makes me homicidal' nature of the job. Visiting a place and working at it are two very different things.

There's also something very creepy and kinda' skeevy about a 30 year female old co-worker (who makes me want to throttle her btw) obviously hitting on an 18 year male coworker, especially when she has a 3 year old kid and just broke up with her husband because he wouldn't let her buy expensive clothes *facepalm* Ah, work drama. And people wonder why I avoid all social events from work like the plague!

Also, nearly slapped one jerkass from work the other day. He'd done this little general knowledge quiz (with appalling spelling and punctuation btw) which was so easy that I got half the answers without even thinking (I did it on my 10 minute break). Handed it in the other day and he asked if I'd had to research many of the answers, to which I replied that I hadn't. It was an easy quiz and my dad got the ones that I didn't. He asked if I was a student so I told him I'd graduated last year. His reply? 'Oh, I thought all students were thick!'

*seethes* What a fucking arsehole!!! I'm a damn sight smarted than pretty much everyone else who works there! *snarls* If there is one thing I cannot stand being insulted, it is my intelligence. What a stupid fucking backhanded compliment. Arse.

Also bugs me that people find it bizarre that I write for fun :/ Or seem to think that it's cute that I want to do something creative instead of going out clubbing.

Did I mention that sometimes I hate people?

moist

I'm re-reading Nightwatch and I see one of the watchmen is named Moist. Has there been any word on whether he's a relative of Von Lipwig or is it just a not uncommon Discworld name?

Holidays

Since there hasn't been much activity on [info]transchristian lately, I figured I would start a topic of conversation.

So Christmas is right around the corner. (Maybe too close around the corner for me.) How have your holiday seasons changed since starting transition? Are you closer to your families? More distant? Has the "reason for the season" changed for you? Do you find it easier or harder to remain a Christian during this time of year?
