I have been busy with homework, so there is little to report, but I was reading this amazing story last week that left me speechless.

From The Sun
Transsexual Thomas, 34, shocked the world when a picture was released showing his bearded face and growing belly.

The Hawaiian ex-lesbian kept his female reproductive organs and is nearly six months pregnant.

In clips from the show, which will be aired tomorrow, Thomas says: "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."

The amazing revelations have been questioned by sceptics, but the Chicago-based talk show said Oprah had interviewed Thomas, his wife Nancy, their doctor and pals of the pair.

According to the clips from the show, Nancy tells how a hysterectomy left her unable to conceive.

Thomas said: "If Nancy could get pregnant, I wouldn't be doing this."

When he switched gender, Thomas had his breasts removed and began taking testosterone in a bid to grow facial hair.
But after keeping his female reproductive organs, Thomas fell pregnant through artificial insemination.

He expects to deliver a girl around July 3.

In an interview with an American magazine, he wrote: "Wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire."

Meanwhile I break up next week and plan to attend the REMF game at Lewes, and save money going to another music gig and finally get the fashion section finished. Musicwise I have been hooked to the Azuli Miami 2008 Underground Music Festival, full of class underground house and techno music.

I have been SKINT the last week. Yes shocking stuff being skinto. It prevented me making the journey to Nottingham. I have felt better the last week deciding not to go to the doctors, but just to receive some counseling. Its been great friends and family have got behind me. It has helped that the mighty Seagulls are playing well. I had a easy week at college though just going in for two days.

MUSIC Mr Ball has been listening too

Been a mix of Massive Attack, Enigma, and even some Chaka Khan, plus was watching the cheesy Clubland Top 50, and got reminded how much I loved Divine Inspiration - The Way, and the Brighton based video in my slightly younger days, and more cheesy ways. But still love it.

I am delighted that it looks like Eastbourne have saved their own tennis tournament for next year, hopefully it can keep on going for many years. Meanwhile, after being down about my move to Burgess Hill not happening, and being a bit depressed about some other things. I have decided to go for the plan my parents suggested at the start, albeit reluctantly. I will apply for a 1 bedroom council flat in Crawley, as where I live I would be on band A so should get a place quickly. Be better than waiting ages for a move outside the dump which might not happen at a groggy hostel.

Meanwhile I am underway with my fashion section. Plus I am keeping my money safe to see the mighty Albion in action at the end of the month, at the City Ground. Just got to keep positive, and get friends and family around me.
