September 11 - Cornucopia Of Fail

Good evening, solar system

So today when I woke up the first thing I did was go to Serebii.net and see if there were any new Pokemon that had been revealed and there were and I was disappointed because most of them seem to not be very good. On the other hand it has been confirmed that one of the new legendaries will be a pure flying type which honestly, is more relieving than exciting. I kind of would have had to boycott them forever otherwise.

Moving on. A very good friend of mine is transgendered, and he was recently informed that the place he has been employed at for the past (nearly) 8 years will be closing down in as little as a month. He was considering the idea of possibly working where I work, but... I kind of screwed it up for him. I was talking with a mutual friend of ours yesterday and one of our co-workers asked me something about him, and I said yes thinking it was a fairly harmless question. But from that response the coworker made a leap to assume that the person who fit that criteria was the person he saw me in town a couple days ago (which to be truthful, it was the same person but the two things are entirely unrelated...) and so now that co-worker knows him by his male name while everyone else he knows there (barring me and our aforementioned mutual friend) knows him by his female name.

Sooo I kind of feel really crappy about that. I even invented a little story in my head to explain the name difference and it sounded like it could easily convince some people because let's face it, most people don't go around assuming people they pass on the street are transgendered. But I also feel like it would be ridiculous to have to tell that made up story in the first place because it's none of peoples' business and it doesn't affect their lives at all and people should stop being so psychotic over the state of others' genitals. Blargh.

I have nothing really inspirational to blather on about today I just wanted to express the fact that the past couple days have been poopy and disappointing and I am looking forward to just sitting in front of the tv screen and playing PS3 for the remainder of today and the majority of tomorrow. There have been other poopy and disappointing things but those are the only two I feel like going into detail about right now.
