posting this as a reminder to myself (with a public declaration of love)

When getting comments on your work from someone whose intellectual abilities you don't respect, but who nonetheless has power over how you'll be graded when you turn in the final draft, public politeness and private amusement is always the best response. Also, it helps to figure out where they're actually right but saying it in a wrong, wrong, wrong way, as opposed to where they're just wrong.

Or as Jack Sparrow puts it: "Take what you can, give nothing back."



PS. Thank you all for the varied advice on hair yesterday! I feel educated and much more ready to talk to a stylist now that I sort of know what I want :D

I love you all and I'm leaving for crazyland again. homeless[dot]sky[at]gmail[dot]com or comment here if you need me, and if you feel like leaving me a hug or a silly picture or a happy thought or something, that'd be most appreciated. Whether you do or don't, though, know that I appreciate every single one of you so much. Thanks for hanging out here with me. ♥

ETA: People who send me fics and ficlets, whether in response to celebrating finished paper drafts or posts of needing love, are, man, if you could see my smile right now. *beams epically* thesamefire, enhendi and nokomis305, you are all so fucking awesome, I can't even. ETA 2: AND wasoncedelight. I LOVE YOU GUYS.

ETA 3: And now I'm getting out of bed, about to start on the Day of Edits, and, you know, in these comments there are cat macros, pictures of MCR and MSI, a picture of the Jonas Brothers, hugs, a snippet of cuddly Mike Carden/William Becket (♥ unlurkster), and, you know, I just. Thank you. ♥

NEVER MIND. I a) can't figure it out and b) realized I have two web browsers. WHY AM I SO SLOOOOW TODAY.

But more importantly, those are epically perfect pictures. Mikey Fuckin' Way, jesus CHRIST. Would you believe there was a time I didn't think he was all that hot? *stares* And BOOOOOB. MY FAVORITE RIDICULOUS BOY, for real. Also, Lyn-Z's hips, be still my heart. She is so, so fucking hot.

I love Steve's little rainbow plume of hair! The picture is shit quality so idk if it's actually part of his hair or something behind him or corrupt pixels or what.

HOT PEOPLE ARE HOT THE END nngh.
