step 1: choose a subject that offends you

step 2: rant endlessly and often about how bad it is to shame people (esp. who are/like/do/think X)

step 3: constantly shame the people who have offended you b/c they are subhuman, obvi

step 4: DING-NING-NING-NING YOU’VE WON THE INTERNET!!!

clarification #1: and to clarify this is not about people on my dash. if you’re on my dash it is 99% likely that you have done nothing to offend me in the recent past. this is mostly a General Internet Problem.

clarification #2: particularly of offense has been the Abercrombie & Fitch CEO debate. he said some really fucked up shit. doesn’t mean that calling him a freak or saying he’s ugly makes your argument any stronger.

clarification #3: the fact that I’m posting this and not just internalizing it and following my own advice really does mean I need to break from interwebz *headdesk*

the call went really well I think! I mean, I have no way to gauge it, but I don’t think I could have done any better. so, at the end of the day (i.e. Tuesday), whatever decision they make will feel fair.

I’m so shaky right now. GAH.

I have a stage two phone interview in just over an hour. I am in fact v. proud of myself already because even pre-qualifying for this company is not easy BUT I would really REALLY REALLY REALLYlike this job.

I will know by Tuesday one way or the other if I move on to the real interview (stage three).

this week has just sucked.

there have been highlights, yes, like last night’s production meeting – but Jake and I and even several of my coworkers have been moody as hell and for absolutely no good reason.

it’s like between the downer weather and the depressing news, the world has shrunk and squished us.

I’ve wanted to start crying in the middle of work with no provocation.

blegh.

tonight we met some Very Nice People. she’s a warrior woman art student and he’s a Ukrainian biochemist type and they share our interests (and all that entails) and spend 80% of their time together and had eye signals. and I think we will be friends.

then Jake sang me old war songs all the way home.

I am the coziest right now and Jake is just the best and okay. yes.

so Jake doesn’t get to read much or often, but he totally does (could I have married a non-reader? nooooo). he’s reading The Club Dumas. anyway yesterday he goes, “oh btw, I’m almost done with Dumas, and the ending is really cool. I’m about thirty pages from the end – ”

and before he can finish I POUNCED on him and gave him a giant clingy hug and was like “omg omg OMG!! this is my favorite part of a person’s life: when they finish a book and get to CHOOSE A NEW ONE!!!”

it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him laugh as hard as he did.

and I just kept going: “so, it’s – terrifying. I mean… it’s probably not terrifying for you but it’s terrifying for me… the thoughts just run through your head, like, what if the next book doesn’t live up? or WORSE: what if the next book is a waste of my time? but you never know and that’s the ADVENTURE!!!”

by this point I’m shaking and trembling with excitement over the prospect of the adventure of a new book and he’s sort of holding on to me and still laughing with his head thrown all the way back.

then he kisses me on the nose and says, with a mostly straight face, “I am lucky to be marrying you, but shut up.”

and it was the happiest thing in the world.

the problem with choosing one place you want to live is that when you go to apply it’s legitimately terrifying because if you don’t get it there’s nowhere that measures up

but at least our fate in Tukwila is decided soon enough

oh hey, is it March already? guess that means it’s time to do a quick check-up on my goals for the year.

  • learn how to drive –  just finished the driver’s manual yesterday! I should get to take the permit test in the next couple of weeks, and we’re obtaining a second vehicle soon here so that I can practice on something other than our beautiful Six.
  • get good at doodling humans – no real progress here. I did pick up my iPad for doodling last night.
  • edit God Grown Old – I’m not far from the end of my initial reader’s read-through.
  • obtain film credit more significant than PA – have I mentioned that a) Jake’s coworker wants to train me as an assistant director and b) Jake’s boss has made me head of his official writing team for a couple of shows? yeah. yeeeahhhh.
  • continue to improve dancing abilities – been slacking on this.
  • give a handmade gift to Important People – still waiting to get my supplies and space back when we move, so I’m thinking this officially starts in June/July.
  • exercise at least 4x per week – I haven’t been keeping track anywhere, but I’ve been keeping up at least 3x per week. more like 4x, most weeks.
  • read 50 books – Goodreads says I’m 2 books ahead of schedule as of today, and I’ve read 10 so far.

and wedding planning has been slowly and un-stressfully progressing. I’m pleased.

so, all in all, I’ve been pretty good! I’ve been hella busier than I expected with my main job and several side projects, but I’ve managed to keep my own goals pretty well on track in the midst of it. and now as the weather gets nicer it’ll get harder to actually procrastinate (so she says). onward!
