This hasn't been a good day

I'm dreading Question Time, and I'm really over being surveilled. I much preferred feeling uninhibited (ie the way I felt before 2021). My Dad's death was hugely freeing for me, and I felt similarly about Sondheim's death. That's probably why 2022 was my breakthrough year: I felt the freedom to really experiment with some of my particular obsessions, like the folk songs. - I don't think anyone from Glen's scene had seen my Weeded Out cartoons, or at least nobody mentioned them. That's probably my favourite of the albums. Mostly due to how totally different it is to most of my music with all the electroacoustic elements (which I usually abhor). - I refuse to tone down my style, and I feel like wearing pants is largely a symbol of defeat. There's no way of pitching me on that, despite how you might have liked my arse in those jeans... that was literally the only pair of jeans I've ever worn. I'm trying to widen the space for free gender expression, so that's my goal for my real-life employment opportunities. As Dave likes to say: we're a Pacific nation, so why are all the guys wearing pants?
