Birthday Countdown: 8 days (Good grief, where did my year go? And when did I turn into Charlie Brown?)
Girlfriend Countdown: 14 days

I like the response the "Are you?" t-shirt idea is getting. Especially since it mainly started as a little mantra to myself (and, partially, others) to put things in perspective. :) Get ready for more business, CaféPress. (Speaking of which, larean, did the credit for my Eye hart slash shirt show up in your account? Because I bought loads of stuff from the femgeeks store, and there's no credit in mine. *confused*)

Am reading hissyfits. I like muchly. Also, I think Kate says a lot of good things.

I bought a smaller sketchbook in London, which I will be taking with me to work tomorrow, so I can try to sketch some. The operative word being "try," naturally. I'm trying to figure out if I can do a group picture of Sean, Nick and Jesse. If not, individual portraits it is. And I seriously wouldn't mind actually getting some more work done on Ebony&Silver, but I think that's wishful thinking for now. Sigh.

In other news, I think I'm finally mastering this whole shutting up thing. Specifically, the part where I recognise a discussion isn't going anywhere, and just clench my teeth and let them have the last word, no matter how much it feels like kitten claws being driven into my brain. This is something I need to learn to do if I ever want to be a grownup. Or at least have a decent discussion with my mother. Yes.

On the phone with some bloke. Blardeblardeblar. You're telling me this why? Goddamn, people. I'm just a secretary-type person here, no need to tell me your entire life, much less your whole query, because little of it actually means anything to me, because I am not an EA and therefore have no actual knowledge of European funding shemes!

Bah. Lunch break over. Have to get back to work. But! I have a chocolate muffin that i'm not allowing myself to eat until this is done. So.
