Con day 1

[alicephilippa]

IHTS it has been a busy day today.

Finally put some faces to names.

"Terry's Bedtime Stories" overran by about 45 mins, made up predominantly of readings from Wintersmith. But finished off with a couple of excerpts from Making Money.

Also, I find that out in public, I truly am more comfortable being Alice than Alan, so I think it is time to close the door on that part of my life. lproven did ask the question "Why?", when I bumped into him. The answer was essentially a synopsis of the post way back in May. Fall on my sword or be who I truly am.

Goodnight from Hinckley.

Alice.

Hihi
Back home briefly.
Nice to have seen you again, as Alice, for the first time, and Alan for possibly the last time.
See you again tomorrow...um...later today :)

Fall on my sword or be who I truly am.

That's pretty much it, isn't it? There comes a point when we can't sustain it any more, and there's a simple choice - transition, or the abyss.

Staring into the abyss wasn't nice.

It is one place I didn't everexpect to be, and certainly don't want to go again.

Alice for SC, then?

Yep. A certain sense of unrealness (I'm just playing a part damn it!) exists when I'm in situations (for instance at work) where for one reason or another I'm Alan.

I have on a nuber of occasions when addressed as Alan, I've almost corrected the speaker.

Ah, I think I've seen you in passing.

I have been belting round in a maroon top and skirt, coupled with a pair of boots today.

Currently sitting on the ground floor of The Hub.
