So, I had a dream last night that a dinosaur trampled my room.
There was also a lot of other stuff that happened... Most of which I can't really find a decent way to describe... But I remember being naked a lot, but being the only one that noticed.
Weird.

I just got an e-mail from the school I'm going to in Fall about housing. That school is awesome in that, they acknowledge the existence of trans people on the housing application, and that they try to accommodate.
They've indicated that they usually house trans people in co-ed apartments in the LGBTA community. I've indicated that I want to live in a single with other guys in my apartment.
Okay, so to make things clear, they have single and double rooms. That is, bedrooms. And each of those bedrooms is a part of an apartment, with a bathroom and a kitchen. (At least in the artist's residence.) There are about four bedrooms to an apartment.
On the plus side, this co-ed business A) would secure me a spot in the artist's residence (she said so in the e-mail), which is my preferred building since it has kitchens and I could get a half meal plan... Which, their meal plan isn't the best and I'm vegan so, I'm good with this. and B) I wouldn't mind a co-ed apartment. At all. I generally get along better with girls anyway.
But, I have some reservation about it because freshmen don't usually live in co-ed apartments, and I don't want that to be something that ends up disclosing my trans status. I mean, generally, I don't really mind people knowing that I'm trans, but I do like to have control over it.
So anyway. I guess I should probably call them and talk to them about it. But first I need to figure out what I want to do. I'm glad they're being so nice though. I appreciate so much that this school is trying to accommodate me. Either way I'm getting a single room, (people will probably die if I don't. Hahaha.) I guess the rest doesn't matter too much.

Yesterday I went to another meeting at the UU church for... UU youth stuff. It was funny because I still can't listen to OK Go without dancing, and I had them on my MP3 player while I was walking there... When I got to the church someone was at the door waiting for me because they saw me dancing across the street through the window. XD

I'm worried about Teal. Long story short he's going through some shit right now. I'm doing what I can but all I can do is be supportive. I can't fix his problems or make the pain go away... :(
As terrible as I am at dealing with my own pain, I'm way worse at dealing with watching someone I love be in pain...

i'm sort of annoyed at
i'm sort of annoyed at housing at the school where i'm going next year. my school also acknowledges trans on the housing application, tho i don't know how they respond to it (my sister says at HER school if you say you're trans you get a forced single). The issue is I really really want genderneutral housing. and that doesn't exist. like, there wasn't a none-of-the-above button on the gender list, just girl, boy, ftm, and mtf.
i acknowledge that i ask too much.
good luck with your housing tho!!!
