your irregularly-scheduled reminder that I am: not dead, hairy, cute, in possession of an anteater necklace
hello friends not dead; v busy doing a master's and a part-time paid job and a lot of volunteering and a relationship. grew a moustache and expanded my collection of dogprint blouses if you would like HOLIDAY CARDS (hint: you would indeed like holiday cards) pls email me: tomr314 at gmail dot com goodbye friends
so I discovered www.everything5pounds.com and now my life is irrevocably better
I had forgotten about this teapot but I just got it out for some loose leaf tea and omg /precious floral baby/
obtained a summer job
I will be modelling data for a geographic information services firm :3 Which is not the most thrilling thing on this earth, but they're a small company, I loooooved the woman interviewing me (and obvs she liked me enough to employ me!), and it actually uses my degree which is nice. It's a 12-week job not a permanent thing, but hopefully I'll be going back for fourth year anyway so that's all fine. And it's PAID and it will look good on my CV.
Considering I walked out the interview thinking 'I was far too open and honest about myself, I fucked that up' I am SO HAPPY to get this. And considering this summer looked like a complete write-off a couple of weeks ago (when it transpired that I wasn't going to the US any more, I was terrified, because I'd planned everything around that - finances as well!) I am VERY PROUD OF MYSELF for going from 'everything will be empty, meaningless and awful' to 'I have a job and things are going to be ok'.
areyouhavinganother replied to your post “I've been referred for top surgery!”
Wooo, that's awesome. Also lol, I used to live next door to Castle Hill and I've been to see his team (not him but whatevs, the doc I saw was nice).
Big reason for choosing him (also he's a good surgeon, but) is that my parents live close by, so I won't have far to travel post-op and also I can be looked after for a few days :) Castle Hill is a good hospital, I've had family be in there before (though not for this and not under his team) and he does a lot of private work so hopefully it'll be a quality experience too.
I've been referred for top surgery!
Came home last night to two letters from the GIC, which I didn't actually understand until I asked the Internet for help. On receiving help from people who understand the NHS system, it turns out that I've got psych clearance from the GIC to have top surgery.
Next steps: ring my surgeon's secretary on Monday and book a consultation with them. I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the consult. Then at the consult I can sort out the date of the actual surgery.
So er:
- actually gonna have top surgery
- the NHS is gonna fund it
- it's gonna be with the surgeon I want, Peter Kneeshaw
- I don't have a timescale but it won't be THAT LONG
hello tumblr I am not dead

"average person cuts 3 public services a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person closes 0 surestart centres per year. georg osborne, who lives in treasury & cuts over 10,000 benefit programmes each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
sidling out of tumblr hiatus to remind you I am still pretty
not gonna be around for the foreseeable future
deleted my queue, turned off my ask and submit, would quite like if it you didn't fanmail me unless we're friends (for the avoidance of doubt, if I have ever talked to you and it wasn't an argument then we are tumblr friends), probably best to get in touch with me elsewhere if you have me elsewhere (my Facebook and Twitter are linked on my page and I use them both quite avidly)
this website is hideous and it is making me ill, and I just need space in which to sort out my head and come to terms with the monumental horror that is my life, and while I would love a lot of you as individuals to be part of that, this website is not the place to do so en masse
am safe - this is not the precursor to me Doing Something do not fear - but am just in a weird weird place

sorry sir, we don’t have the facilities for a cat scan, but we can certainly get you a lab report

actually i think the idea that being bi means that your relationships are all the same type—nebulously “queer”—kinda does more to reinforce the idea that your sexual orientation must match your relationship type than the idea that bi people simply have various types of relationships while remaining bi.
