soo... i did the shot...? it was fine. i freaked out a bit when it came to actually puncturing the skin but other than that it was uneventful. afterwards i went to Diaso and picked up a cute little case for the supplies so i knew where they were.. i have to use two needles, but theyre color coded so that makes it easier. kind of odd that i'm actually on HRT now but hoenstly it doesnt feel that differnet .. obviously... im still a bit nervous once changes do start happening, but that won't be until may... or next month at the earliest... it's all gradual... it's fine... goodness gracious...
earlier i spilled green tea leaves all over my computer.. i think i got it all up but not exactly sure...
ive been trying to work on music more but i keep feelling uninspired.. i want to bracnh out genre-wise but IDK! my friend asked me today if ive released anything... GUYS.... i dont want to do anything.. but i still do :-) i starteed writing a new song yesterday ... i want to not have the fear of embarassment because that only holds me back... but its hard... :( one day...
these past couple days i've just been at home.. save for Saturday when i volunteered at the library for a lunar new year;s celebration ut that was kind of awfull since i couldnt make it to the orientation so i had nothing ot do.. so i jsut sat around and admitted to small children i didnt know how to fold an origami horse when they asked for help... i tried twice but i failed both times... there was also a dragon dance and the groupd that did it was around my age... i felt so unaccomplished... BUT aftwerwards i got my passport photos taken so that was fun (ish?) im actually sort of looking forward to going back to school now... except for a preformance i have to do Wednesday on a project im not even done with! i want to get out of it but im not sure if it;s too late now... sigh...
i think that's all i have to say... bye!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!!! i love this holiday!! i love heart stuff and the candy and roses and flowers and love :-) today was really fun... i basically listened to music all day and since it was recently lunar new year my school was serving potstickers and dumplings for lunch today! i got two lollipops too !! afterschool me and my girlfriend went to in-n-out and Target to get gifts for each other, and it was really fun ☺ it was raining a lot though so now im soaked.. but in general today was really nice, im so lucky to have her and idk life is jst great ♥ i got her a lego set, chocolates, and a card; and she got me an orange-scented candle and chocolates that im eating right now!!!
i really can't believe that tommorrow i start testosterone.. it still feels like such a far away thing... im really nervous.... just because i'm like scared of needles... ive like turned it over so many times in my head though that i cant just - back out.. plus like i really do want it i jst like overthink important decisions i guess.. anyways im so excited! heehee!!!!!
hmmmmmmmmm... oh ive been working on more music! i think ive started all the songs for altocumulus i just have to like make them work and write lyrics and everrything.... ive already released one song that's going to be on there.. its on my soundcloud and youtube if you want to llisten :-) im super excited to have finished a big project like that,, especially for music! im also currently in an audio production class right now so hopefully ill learn more about how to make music and stuff like that so i can make more!!! YAY!
i dunno what else to say.. bye mwah (ill add photos later if i feel like it...)
good mornang... !!!!!!!!!!!! it is saturday!! umm now there's only 5 days left until i start T, come to think of it i might add a little counter thing or smth to like show how many days ive been on it... anways im super exicted ive bene thinking about it a lot! kind of nervious for that day too thought because i have a lot of other appointments that day and i dont like being overscheduled especially with medical stuff.... but ill be okay :^) i'm especially excited to be able to be more confident because as of rigth now i dont have very high self-esteem (and im hoping hrt will change that ! if not.. i mgiht be screwed)
ALso recently ive been feeling... BURNT OUT!!!! (screams of anguish play in the distance) ... its jsut because ive been working on music liek every day to the point where its like so repetitive whwere i dont want to anymore.. but i did draw today! and also i learned how to play bass correctly! if you knwo me.,,. ive bene playing bass since september of 2021.. however i learned everything through youtube tutorials,, and slowly forgot how to play with good hand positioning.. so it was really painful after like two songs!! hoever i watched an awesome tutorial on how to play with small hands, and all of a sudden that pain dissappeared... its honestly a godsend because it was getting pretty baad...
i want to do sm mroe with my songs and album im working on, but i am just losing inspiratoin.. or not relaly losing it but more jsut getting so much i dont know how to put it out onto paper.. so its all just a jumbled mess in my head... i have most of the songs liek halfway done but the lyrics is hwere i struggle... ill take a teensy break and then try to use another process... yes! i;m hoping itll be done by like,... march or apirl! it wont be that hard because its all jst chiptune but maybe? esepcially singce i am planning on using lyrics that might be another reason why itll tkae longer...
ANywyas today ive been doing a lot! i got a new perscriptionn for glasses because it changed, im more (?) farsighted than i was before... dont think i wear glasses though, because theyre only for reading... (im not wearing my old pair, but i should).... theyre grey and rectangular which is like the ones i have now (okay i put them on) but mine now have ... bite marks on them... and alos theyre blue. and kind of ulgy. but that's not my fault, i picked themout when my eyes were dialiated so i couldnt even SEE...? super excited to get new ones that hopefully work better though! we will see...
oh i also FINALLY got my birth certificate! the order got approved back in late september, but it jst now came in the mail! now i have to rush getting a new social security number and then passport... i leave for Greece next month! eek! hopefully the photo doesnt come back bad.. oh man...
EEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okey good bye
today was one of the best days liek ever!!! so it's officially been one year since i started dating my girlfriend, and its so crazy because i feel like the time has passed by so quickly! im so happy that im with her!!!! its been really great adn i couldnt be luckier to be with her :-) today we went by the lake, and then later to her favorite taco place ! we also exchanged gifts, and i got a Fear of Music cd and a card!!! ive been looking for that one for a while... anyways its been great and even though it started to rain it was really nice taking the bus with her and going to a restaurant for the first time (maybe?) alone :-) i love the bus i love the rain and for some reasons the planes were flying low today so it was beautiful to see them closer... and when it got dark and rainy you could see their headlights... also excuse my spelling mustakes my cat keeps hitting my hands because he wants me to pet him... he'll have to w ait....
lately ive been good also !! been working on my new album pretty consistently and im liking how thats going :-) i really like chiptune/midi-kinda music so that's what im goign for !! it wont be really good because its my first songs , but i like it so far for its kind of new-ness! (new like.. debut album ?? it has a certain charm to it and i love checking out other artists' demos and first takes ...) but yeah! i wanna have it done by march 8th but that might be too soon.. i like 3/8/24 as a date though... hmmmm... anyways i have three songs done and a bucnh more im working on!!! im not sure if ill add lyrics because of how my voice sounds, but i might!
ummmm... yeah!!!! ive been hanging out with the cats more, avery and pascal are in my room right now enjoying my heater :-) also umm ive been trying to practice my instruments and hobbies a lot more but its hard because of how busy i am with school... i have three essays in the works right now... im acutally starting to write an essay in french which is really crazy considering ive only practiced it in school!! im super excited to be able to say ive written somethign kind of long in french, thatlike - kind of proves that i might actually be good at it ??? the grammar part is what trips me up though, i usually have to correct my paragraphs a couple times before they're completely correct... but its okay!! im hopeing to actually be fluent at some point, and i wanna listen and watch more media in french so its easier to keep my understanding!
speaking of languages, ive also been tryign to learn greek because im going to Greece next month!! wow thats another thign thats so crazy i can say!!! i dont wanna go there and not knwo any of the language, so i decided to start learnign duolingo.. (i can say .. water... i think) but yes i am super stoked for my trip!!! the only thing is that i dont have my new updated birth certificate yet, and i dont have a passport :( so im really hoping that can all be complete really soon because i do NOT want to have to get a passport with my deadname! nor do i want to have to talk to the airline about why my name is different on my ticket! i dont want a repeat of when i took the PSATs and my principal shouted that name in front of everyone because apparently they forgot... (this isnt like - normal either.. my school is usually very supportive with that stuff) but yeah i dont like thinking about it... and in a couple months i wont look like how i do either becuase of hrt... wow .... i dont liek thingking about that...
but yes my liife has been wonderful!!! love you all !! mwah!!
also i am really sorry baout the decline of quality.... i feel like this is almost unreadable.... those who get it get it and those who dont dont...
