oops

oops! I forgot to make an entry last night!

Well, put weight on. Boo Hiss! 0.6kg. Bleh!

Anyway, I'm posting this from work so have to be a bit sensible with what I write.

The big news for the week is that I have been asked to write something for the Pride Feb newsletter (Pride in this instance being the work LGBT group) and I'm completely stuck for what to write. I'm fairly sure that I am the only active T-person within the group, but heck its hard to tell sometimes! So should I write a call to arms? a documentary piece, something observational or something helpful? I'm really stuck.

The other thing that I've been contemplating in a weird abstract way recently is my name. Of course, here and most places online, I am Danni but in the real world most of the time I am Dan. I've always found it very difficult when people called me Danny - why? Is it some kind of reference to the gender of that name? Is it too close to the female form of Danni? Maybe its just an ugly looking word? I think its too "harsh" in form very angular and masculine whereas the i of Danni helps smooth it over and makes the word visually more attractive. Either way, I've started calling myself Danni at work now to colleages and customers - of course most percieve it with the y but internally I'm clinging on to dear life to the I. Some people are spelling it with an I which is FANTASTIC but I dont feel that I can force that onto everyone at this point, in fact I'm still struggling to get people to address me as anything other than Dan, or Daniel. Meh.

Anyway, time to sign off and think about what to write.....
