I want to redesign my blog. This one still isn’t me. As Chris said, “It reminds me of a coffee shop… don’t ask me why.” What I’d really like is a red blog with Emma Peel as the background, but just her outline so as to fool people that I’m actually shaped like her. 🙂 Hahaha. Nah, I’m actually kinda glad I’m not as itty bitty as she was/is. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to be shaped like Marilyn Monroe.
Simon’s new girlfriend emailed me this morning, and just after I read it she hopped online and we got to talk on AIM. It was quite fun to talk to her, then bug Simon by not telling him what she and I were talking about. 🙂 It’s great to be the third wheel of two overly twitterpaited people. You get to play with all that overly giddy energy and run with it.
I went to a friend of mine who owns a printing business yesterday, wondering about whether or not he could print and bind that silly children’s book I’ve been working on. Turns out he can do the exact kind of binding I want so it looks like everything’s going ahead as planned. I just need to finish the stupid thing. I was hoping to finish it yesterday, but my writing skills went kaput. I think I’m just nervous about finishing it. It’s been my project for so long it’s weird to think of it as actually ending. It’s not like I’m sentimental over it, or like I’m going to miss writing it. I’ve got tons of other projects that I’m far more attached to. It’s just strange. Anyway, I’m digressing again. This friend of mine can print it, but I’m afraid it’s going to be a bit expensive. I really wanted to print about ten copies and give a few away to friends who I know love the book because they’ve asked me for copies. But I can’t afford it. Now I’m wishing they could just send me the cost of printing – not making any money off it, just paying for production – and then I could send them a book. I’d even sign it with a personalized message and everything. But I’m not sure if I can get away with that. Stupid Warner Brothers. We should be allowed to produce fan fiction as long as we aren’t making dirty fan fiction, or making a huge profit off of it. My fan fic’s clean – okay, maybe a little violent – and people like it. I should be able to send it to them in a nice printed, bound, peachy form. Sigh.
I think that’s it for now. I’ve got to go back to my printer friend. I have to pick up some paper for another project and look at some binding samples. More blogging later, I hope.
