Writer's Block: Memo to Myself

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Buy as many shares in tech companies as you can afford in 1998. Sell them all by the start of April 2000. Live on baked beans exclusively to afford to do this if you have to.

Good advice, but not particularly tailored to an individual.

"Buy tech shares in 1998, sell in April 2000, as this will enable you to still live comfortably after quitting your job and funding your sex change" might be a bit of a shock to your pre-98 self though. I suppose some things need working out in their own time :-)

Yes, in moments (hours?) of insomnia I've pondered the "would I tell my past self that?" question, and have come to the conclusion that some things are better off with no spoilers.

Oh I dunno- my response to this was that I'd go back and find my pre -natal self and simply say: 'Look, girl, just get the bloody gender right willya?' As it was ,it took me until I was twenty one!

Your pre-natal self ...? Would you have been able to understand at that age?!

Oh aye! I was pretty bright even at that age ;op
