Executive!

[katallison]

Boy, it's a day of executive decisions around this place. #1 was the opening-up of the LJ (all the original fatuous drivelling! but now, with twice the coverage! Yes, it's Dupli-Kat, the blog that reads like an LJ!). Other decisions include the following:

#2: [related to layout of mrks.org blog and hence omitted here as irrelevant]

#3: This is it; I take the public vow; I am going to get the first draft of the story finished by the end of the year. You are all authorized to mock and humiliate me if I fall short of this goal.

#4: I am going to cheer the fuck up. Yes! I'm taking mimesere and popfantastic as my role models in this endeavor, and though I shall not sparkle, I shall at least cut the gloom; the self-talk will be less about you hateful idiot and more about Smile, dammit!

In other news, I just saw a squirrel out in the backyard that had hit the motherlode; he'd somewhere scavenged an entire bagel, and was alternately gnawing it, and picking it up in his teeth and trying with great difficulty to haul it toward a tree. It looked like an illustration for that old Kliban book "Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head."

This is it; I take the public vow; I am going to get the first draft of the story finished by the end of the year.

Promise? Should I renew my offer of help in any way I can? All righty, then. :-)

Heh. Watch your e-mail. *g*

*I* think you sparkle just fine, ma'am.

yay! *hugs* Smiling is good, see, 'cause either people smile back or you unnerve them so much that they sidle away in terror because who can be *that* happy all the time?

Cool! I shall unnerve the multitudes with my inexplicable good cheer! Fear my upbeatness!

Hey, the wicked glint of a lot of metal studs set in leather counts as sparkle, too. :-)

Do I have to mock and humiliate? Can't I just stand on the sidelines and cheer you on?

Well ... uh ... sure, if you want! ::issuing torch The PomPoms Of Yay! Story Completion!:: You can always save the mocking for the story itself (heh).
