Had a great weekend, sister won a prize in the Mardi Gras Short Story Competition. Yay! Lot of parents being odd about how it had to be a gay prize but meh. Mum is funny in the way she is actually in a weird way open-minded and went over to tell one of the very gayest authors that his story deserved a higher placing, but when it’s her daughter? Doesn’t look so good apparently.

The most horrific filing system in the entire world

is what my Dad’s secretary has evolved in the back room of his practice. I just spent half a day making her desk neat, never mind actually sorting through the giant boxes of mixed papers under the desk – invoices, bank statements, BAS and bank deposits from as far back as 2007 – and that’s only the easy stuff that I know where to put, even if it takes ages.

Occasionally I read some of the websites about gifted kids, which bring to mind a few things. One, there is a lack of writing about gifted adults – probably because most gifted people fit into the ‘moderately gifted’ category, and once they find an adult niche like a physics department, they are pretty sorted. As someone who doesn’t even really fit in a physics department, I feel that my experience is unrecorded. I also feel that I am going to be lonely forever and not really be understood by anyone, but I am trying to change that.
