Earliest Possible Train Home

Hey look, a new post! Been nearly a month and a half!
(The title is an Imogen Heap reference, by the way)
Before I say anything new and particularly important, I feel the need to say; I do actually miss the recordings of what I wrote the most. To be honest, I musically prefer Helen Trevillion, but there's a chance I'll be able to hear those songs again. Currently I only have my own memory to trust rather than that of a machine, to remember things I've written.
Ok. Here goes the actual post now.
Progress in money-getting! My older sister is getting a job distributing catalogues. There's some special business thing involved I think. The important thing is that after about a month, I'll (probably) be joining her team. I think she's going to be my boss. I can't remember much about it right now but it doesn't matter. What matters is that I'll be getting money, which is the main problem with my plan. It starts with getting money (to buy a laptop, to leave home, to get at-least-acceptable recording software, and so on), but I kind of didn't really have much of a plan for actually getting money before.
Going over to the next good thing...
My sister's supervisor-type-person came to pick her up (to take her to an induction thing) yesterday. No big deal there right? Well, I was playing Wii in the living room, so she had to see me to pick my sister up. But apparently, in the car, she asked my sister;
"Was that your sister in the living room?"
And... my sister just said "yes", because (here's the bring-down-to-earth explanation) she thought that my younger sister might have been there, and she couldn't remember, and she couldn't be bothered to remember.
So... I look possibly female? That's awesome! I was just looking like I normally do as well! Of course, we all laugh about it, and my sister jokingly calls me her sister sometimes now. I don't mind, it's great that I can be "mistaken" for a girl. Wow, almost feels like I'm half of the way towards coming out. Almost!
Leading to the next thing...
My younger sister split up with her boyfriend. Not initially good-sounding, I know, but it was mutual, and they're still friends, so it's ok. The important thing is that her now ex-boyfriend is actually my friend as well (and was before he was her boyfriend), and the only reason I haven't come out to him yet is because I don't want my sister (or any of my family) to know yet, and she probably would've found out if I had while they were still together.
So there. Money opportunity, being "mistaken" for a girl, and soon having somebody to come out to. Exciting things!
