(no subject)

So. I've moved out of my parents house. I moved into my uncle Alan's house a week ago with him and two other twenty-something guys, David and Mat. The first weekend was kind of scary, but now it's just like I'm living with a bunch of guys my age. I told Al about 3 nights ago that I'm trans and he was totally supportive and wants to help me in any way possible. His girlfriend is the same, except she is worried about me and wants to protect me from the cruel world :P So anyways, I met Reid on the 3rd day I was down here and he's one hell of a cool guy. He talked bikes with the boys and showed his off a bit and the guys took to him right away which is sweet. I'm dropping into his party tonight but only for a little while coz I'm bringing two mates, one of which just recently had an operation. But anyways the point of this post is to say that my life feels good right now - I'm getting 10 hours a week at the Servo next door very soon which will cover all my costs to be here, I'm meeting lots of new people all of whom are amazing and open and kind, and I've been partying with the boys (who treat ME like one of the boys AND call me James) every night. Life has changed for me and I believe I'm becoming a better and happier person because of it.
