Karma

Every so often i get hit by a string of happy coincidences, Y'know the sort of thing when everything seems to go just right. You happily stumble across the perfect bargain in the shop, you go to pay and find £20 on the floor. You decide to spend a couple of quid of that found money on a lotto ticket and win a further £500.

I call this 'Good Karma' because i dont believe in 'fate' or 'luck'. It was Newton that said "Every action has an equal and opposing reaction" So it stands to reason that there is such a thing as 'Bad Karma'...

...And when Bad Karma hits it seems to really hit hard. I dont want to let this post spiral into a depressing 'oh poor me' type affair so i shall simply list the low-lights of recent times.

You all know i got broken into and everything stolen (nearly £30k worth), Well the insurance company declined my claim. They think they should'nt pay a single penny. I am disputing it but i dont fancy my chances!

My air conditioning in my Porsche has broken and its gonna cost thousands to fix it!

Some government funding i applied for (which i may add, i am fully entitled to) has also been declined. So this is gonna cost me another few grand.

And finally i just got deported from the USA due to a technical problem with my VISA. A problem that the State Dept. later admitted was their fault and that i should not have been deported. This mistake has cost me over £10k in lost revenue.

To top it all off, i now need to attend the US embassy for interviews and if you've ever been there before you will know what a pain in the arse it is cos you cant take any keys, cellphones, laptops, bags, or anything else into the embassy. You end up leaving all your stuff at a locker in the train station!

Anyways..... On a more cheery note, I still have my red hair and its getting pretty long now. I would prefer it a little shorter cos its kinda in that annoying length where it flows off my shoulders and flicks up out of control.

I went along to Nottinghamshire Pride festival at the weekend, gorgeous weather meant it was a lovely walk around the stalls.

I was a little surprised at how few Transfolk i saw, I maybe spotted a handful all day, I know we are kinda the minority at this sort of festival but still i didn't see anyone i knew. Literally nobody!

I found a little side stall run by Re-Creation. They are a trans group who have weekly meetings at a pub in Notts. I might pop along to one and check it out. Although i didn't spot any MtF's or FtM's at the stall so not sure what to make of it. I think i shall remain open minded until i check out a meeting.

And on the subject of meetings on my last blogpost i did promise i would report back on my visit to The Crown in Derby. Well its a very nice little pub, very quiet when i was there but also there were a great bunch of girls who i met for the first time (Gillian, Penny, Fran, Sarah, Roxy - see i have a great memory). I can recommend this place and will be going again, drop me a line if you want to tag along.

Anyway i'm off to do some sunbathing whilst the sun is still shining:)
