Friday

My hair smells sweet and I'm not sure why

Today in real life I woke up a bit earlier than usual and got some internetting done before I went to work. This was a mistake because I was still late for work. I also finished up a couple of official character statements to be used in court during my parents' separation proceedings. Things could be better, I suppose, but hey, at least today's story at work was fun to conceive. It's kind of surreal, y'know? After nineteen years of destruction and repeated attempts at reconciliation, they're actually through with one another--for real, this time. Get on with your life, self. Be strong for the kids. Smile.

Today on the internets I found out that I had become a role-model for a complete stranger. To know that something of my creation has affected someone on such a level fills me with a joy I never quite knew existed. It makes me feel like I have purpose. It makes me want to finish that novel.

Today in fiction I finished off another TF2 fic--everyone who's reviewed so far has seemed to enjoy it and this makes me a happy little recluse. Not much else got accomplished today, though. I'll have to make up for this tomorrow.
