So I finally filmed a Typo Joke entry that I don't hate. So it's time for the Big Reveal.

I've been taking Delatestryl (Testosterone) and Suprefact (Blocker, aka Estrogen-Be-Gone) since the end of July. The first week on it, I started filming a supposed-to-be-weekly Youtube thing called Typo Joke. The first clip is the most recent entry. The second is the first one I filmed. There aren't a whole lot of changes, except for THE VOICE. I love this change to my voice. It is in fact the single most satisfying thing.

More satisfying even than chin fur.





Also, I am doing Nano this year, but I'm cheating -- I'm going to add to last year's project until it's finished, which will probably be another 50 000 words anyway. Also I'm already a full day behind! Harharhar. Oh God.

In Victoria from now until early Saturday morning. Anyone in Vic who wants to hang out, let me know. I only have the one day though.

Man, it's weird being back here.

Have arrived safely in Vancouver! The plane landed, I saw the mountains and swear to God almost cried. I've missed this place. We had dinner at a coffeeshop with a vegetarian menu, gay board game night, soup priced differently depending on your financial circumstances, and dykes on acoustic guitars. It's about three blocks from my apartment. I'm home.

Internet will be sketchy until I can get it set up in my new place. Until then I'll be haunting wireless'd coffeeshops. I'll post an flocked entry after this one with my new phone number and address.

In all the running about, packing and having my blood stolen and mailing endless boxes of crap, I forgot to update on the move. I found a place, for one thing -- a one-bedroom in Mt. Pleasant area for which I will pay out the ass, but hey, it's the first time I've had a place that's all my own. I'm transferring to the Starbucks at Broadway and Cambie, so anyone in Van area should come visit me and order something complicated.

At the moment I'm in the London airport, waiting for boarding and being sad about leaving. Don't get me wrong: my heart's in B.C. and probably always will be. But I'm going to miss the people here. All the good people in this city should just up and relocate to the coast.

Goodbye, London. You were way too flat and conservative at times, but we had fun.

Alright. So I'm for-sure moving back to Vancouver, now in the middle of September because I need to keep an appointment with the girl-be-gone doctor. I'm hunting for apartments -- bachelor, preferably -- in Vancouver, as central as possible, and naturally I'm stressing my head off about it. If anyone happens to have any leads, I would be eternally grateful.

T is crazy shit. Energyenergyenergyenergy I have an excess and not sure where to put it I already ran for 40 minutes am considering just running around in circles in the rain. MAYBE I SHOULD CALL MY PARENTS TODAY AND TELL THEM I DONT' KNOW.

By the way? Since I haven't actually updated alot on this on LJ:

You know what I haven't done in awhile? A Favourite Starbucks Creations post. Here's five, in no particular order. All efforts to sound like a prissy douchebag: completely intentional

1. Iced triple grande sugar-free vanilla latte.

My default drink, before I decided to give up espresso: an iced latte with three shots of espresso, two percent milk and sugar-free vanilla. Just the right balance of coffee and sweet, and a good, quick caffeine boost for that first fifteen minute break. NOT a Skinny Vanilla Latte. Nonfat milk = bleh.

2. Iced grande half-sweet sugar-free vanilla whole milk iced coffee with milk.

My less-espresso'd version of the above drink. Slightly less creamy, although the whole milk partly makes up for it. They changed the name from Iced Coffee Con Leche to Iced Coffee With Milk so people would actually order it. It worked.

3. Iced grande half-sweet, two scoops matcha, green tea apple juice.

Charles' invention: he says it tastes like a green apple bubble tea. I don't think so, but it's good any way. If you don't like the grassy taste of matcha, it's good even without -- but it doesn't get that lovely algae-pool look. Also good with apple juice: iced black tea.

4. Tall toffee nut, soy, no whip strawberries and cream frappuccino blended creme.

A customer ordered this and said "It tastes like strawberry ice cream in a waffle cone." It really does. It's amazing. It's crazy sweet, so I'd only go for a tall. Make sure you ask for soy milk instead of the cream base. Some baristas will tell you it doesn't blend properly that way. They're wrong. WRONG.

5. Grande no dairy, with matcha, with protein, with strawberry sauce orange mango banana blend.

An orange mango banana Vivanno smoothie-thing ("Noooourishing blend") with strawberry sauce instead of milk. This only works now that we have the new strawberry puree that's less outrageously sweet than the old stuff. Again, feel free to leave out the matcha. And even the protein, if dairy or whey is just not your thing. The important parts are the orange mango, the strawberry, and the banana.

Mixed up some eggs for tamagoyaki. Botched it so badly I scrambled them and tossed shredded nori on top.

All the taste: none of the presentation. I deliciously fail!

Back in London! As of about 12 hours ago. Now off to work, then to Pinery.

The cat missed me. I think.

I'm off to New York for four days! I'll be back Saturday morning. Probably not reachable by net, but I'll have my phone with me if anyone desperately requires my attention.

Also, due to my lack of sense and some changes to the work schedule, I finished work at 2:30am and plan to leave the house at 5:30am. Attempting to sleep would be silly at this point. I think I'll do something exciting, like clean the hamster's cage.

Today I had an entire conversation with a customer who then referred to me as "he." Considering how badly I THINK I pass, I'm pretty damn pleased.

1. I gave in and got Twitter.

2. I'm now working on presenting a male gender identity at all times, both at work and socially. Not sure how far this will go, but I will keep the world posted.

Most likely through Twitter.

AAAAS uusual, sauced beyond ALL REASON to welcome in the New Year. And this time you, Owen, are not even around to bad influence me. No, just a bottle of Bajan rum.

I wish good evenings and feel-betters to all my friends. No matter how much of a spaz I am you remind me that you're all lovely people.

And a jolly Snowflake Day to you all.

Presents have been sent out, and now I go to bed. Gotta be up at 8 tomorrow because sometiiiimes you have to work on Christmas, sometimes!

No, but seriously. I signed up for it and it does mean some sweet cash. And I love that Harvey Danger song, no matter how depressing it's supposed to be.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL ASH APPRECIATION DAY!

Everyone go bother mydochas. Bother her GOOD.

♥!

If you haven't seen it yet :D I love it even more because Allison Janey's in it <3

Friends,

The next time I think it's a good idea to volunteer for an outdoor event in December in Ontario? Please talk me out of it.

Love, me.

No, it was actually kind of fun. Linda carried around a giant tank of hot chocolate on a backpack frame, looking like a Ghostbuster. I got to hold the nozzle and dispense. Jen -- the toque you made me pretty much saved my life. Especially since I chose the wrong day to get my hair cut really, really, head-exposing-to-the-coldingly short.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my toes.

I WON NANO!

First time ever :D WEEEEEE!

I just finished eleven straight days of work. I have an actual weekend off, and it just happens to coincide with the last two days of NaNo. I have 4000 words left, a glass of brain lube to my right, and I just got promoted.

:)
