The year is 2012, and the date is the 9th of September. I am currently sitting at home wondering what the hell I should be doing with my life.
My name is Alex. I'm 18 years old and I'm an Art and Design student at a college in Harborne. I was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. My favourite bands are The Cure, Gary Numan, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Manic Street Preachers, Asylum Party and The Chameleons. I am female-to-male transgender, and on the 3rd of September I received my gender counselling appointment with Professor Femi Oyebode on the 23rd of October. I am also in the beginnings of a band called Warhol Silkscreen, and we still need a drummer and a bassist. I also need to get over my insecurities and write more songs to sing. Hopefully I will use this blog as a platform to document the occurrences of my life much better than I usually would on Tumblr, discuss art, music, literature and fashion, and generally express myself more coherently than I usually do.
Today I watched Mean Girls, ate lots of food, went out for a walk and listened to The Chameleons. On Thursday and Friday I went back to college, but lessons don't officially start until Monday. I still don't know how I'm going to get through the whole day, as I have been known to get very sleepy during the day. Cigarettes keep me awake. I only have a pack of Marlboro Reds to last me until I get my DLA on the 18th, and some Djarum Black cloves.
I'm going to see George Michael this month with some family members, as his sister Yioda is a family friend of ours and she gave us the tickets. Then I am going to see Sparks with my mum on the 23rd of October, Adam Ant on the 17th of November, Gary Numan with my guitarist on the 6th of December and The Damned on the 13th. I still need to buy tickets for The Damned.
I will when I have money. I am broke.
