today i was confronted with one of my top five scariest situations ("abruptly presented with critical decision that must be acted upon immediately, except you can't act on it immediately because you're stuck doing something else and can't leave"), and i coped with it and didn't burst into tears or call my mum even once. truly i am a king amongst men. songs will be sung of this day

Martha Wells and John Scalzi at Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!
Y’all GUESS WHO I GOT TO SEE!!! In real life!! With my own two eyeballs!!!
It was an absolutely delightful chat (I took two pages of notes! scribbled in All My Margins!), very cozy, AND neither of them had signing limits! I love hearing authors talk about their Authorial Woes and Process Quirks, because it’s always hugely validating and just neat to hear.

valiantly battling the ghosts that live in my brain to convince them that asking my rabbi if he knows of anyone who’s looking for an articling student (mandatory supervision period for canadian lawyers) is a normal kind of community networking to do and not a horrible presumptuous and demanding interpersonal crime for which i should be put to death.

I just had a dream that I was freaking out in the wings of the auditorium of a college during a performance of Matilda because I wasn't supposed to be there and I thought the director (who happened to be the mt director I had in freshman year of hs) was going to catch me and kill me in front of the audience (I was not terrified of being murdered so much as I was of being seen by the audience while it happened (??? Why?)) and so a giant hardshell taco had to save me and it threw me through a portal to my friend's house. And also I left my phone in the auditorium so the last half of the dream was me freaking out trying to find a way to text my mom and let her know I wasn't at the college anymore or SHE'D kill me

I want to take a break from tumblr but I don't want to delete my blog I need to change my passwork to something randomised, save the randomised password in an encrypted keepass file, send it to a trusted individual then delete the message and all instances of the file from my computer until after the break period where they will send it back to me.
