(Strictly speaking, it's not a pseudonym within a pseudonym, it's more like a slightly false identity within a temporarily false identity. Kind of). For the sake of expanding my temporarily false world, I now have an LJ! Through fear of people I know in real life discovering me there, I am pretending to be living in America (but still English! That way I have an excuse for the spellings), and only mentioning half of the music I like. I'm also not going to talk about any real life events of family things or any of the more personal events that I talk about here, also through fear of discovery. To think that, if I were more open about myself, this would be completely unnecessary. Actually, it most likely is completely unnecessary, but it's either that or I face my fears... which I don't want to do, obviously. Oh, and for all uses of the name outside of fiction (and this website, for consistency's sake), I'll now be called Hayle y Harrisse, because that doesn't sound as wishful and pretentious.

Just writing to correct myself here. It's actually only £10 000, not £100 000 like I said yesterday. I'm leaving that there, though, as a reminder to myself to always properly proof-read. I haven't won yet, by the way. Continue reading...

(For those who didn't get it, that was a Peter Hammill reference) Pepsi have a contestmpetition where they (supposedly) give away £100 000 every day. You have to enter the code on the ringpulls of the cans (I think there are codes on bottles too, but I never found them) on the website for a chance to win. The conmpetestition ends soon, and I've been saving up codes for nearly a month. Today I entered 52 codes. That's a lot of ringpulls. Let's hope I win and can finally get a laptop, and maybe...

I applied for a job at Iceland today, there's a new one coming to my town. I applied online. There was an "other" option in the gender dropdown menu. I know it's not ideal, but it's definitely still a step forward that (probably) lots of companies haven't taken. Being a closet non-standard gendered person, I still clicked "male"... which, although generally a bad thing, does take me more smoothly to my next points. I am an Androgyne. That means, if you don't know, that I am between male and fem... Continue reading...

Here goes a probably long post... Oh, and the " "s " in the title don't imply that he's not my real father, they mean that I don't think of him as a father. I think of him more as a sort of struggling dictator, who's used to ruling with fear, but people are beginning to stand up, and he's losing the control he once had. For this whole post, I will be writing as one person, to avoid confusion. So when I say "us" or "we", I'm not just talking about me. For the first few years of my life, my dad wa...

Nobody who knows me will be able to tell you how much I love to write things in an almost Shakespearean manner. I have written a kind of short poem, because my lack of space is frustrating me more than ever this month (maybe it's because it's 2009? I'll explain later). I am not the lion, the mask, or the cape, Remove from me these pins, that I may escape, Do not believe this foul costume, Yours, and too your perfume, Uncover the true smell of this cobwebbed room. I won't explain everything for the r... Continue reading...

Hopefully you've read the "more about me" section. In fact, if you haven't, read it, because it's probably going to be very important on this site as a whole. Thought of as one person, we're both genders. So it would be technically correct to call me transgendered. Chard (he doesn't use "Rich") says that he'd probably be transgendered anyway, like if it was all him. I think he'd probably be more male than female. We think it's important not to think of gender as two separate things, like the co... Continue reading...

I was woken up this morning by a call from Connexions (at about 11am, though). They want me to go to the job centre in the morning on a Monday or a Tuesday (great idea telling me that Tuesday). What they want to do is find out what sort of jobs I'd want. I'm not going to go, whether it might help or not. I don't care if they've actually managed to help people before. I don't want their help. I do my own thing. I'll run to them if I ever start struggling to cope without money. I know, I know, I ... Continue reading...
