Not even Liam Neeson is enough to quash my flail today, I think. Argh. Apart from the fact that phone calls today have been complicated and some full of unnecessary flail (made unnecessary by many factors, not just the people on the other end) I mailed off the letter of terror. And now I am trying to put it as far out of my mind as possible because, really, the odds of me getting a response are pretty damn slim. This is the actor I mentioned some days ago who liked my shoulder puppet? At least I gave him information on where to find a gryphon puppet like mine. If he gets to read it. ... Does anyone write fanmail anymore? I don't know, but the whole thing makes me incredibly jittery. I have to keep reminding myself that actors are not, in fact, the opposite of people, as Stoppard would have it. They are people too. Of course, that just leads to the twin flail of 'He has VIDEO OF ME?' and 'what if he DOES write, what will you do then, huh?' The obvious answer to the second one being, well, write back and say hi, but... Feh. My brain, it is nuts, let me show you it.

It's also probably an excuse to procrastinate editing. I hate editing. With the fires of a thousand giant suns. Which are not masses of incandescent gasses, but ... oh, never mind. You see? This is exactly what my mind's been doing all day, leaping from topic to topic like a frog on a buttered skillet, refusing despite my best attempts at begging or bribery to settle on anything. Even Liam Neeson and his cerulean fucking blue eyes. Which will keep me from writing copious amounts of new!A-Team porn, but doesn't help me get anything else done. I suppose I could do physical work, except it's slowed back down to a crawl again.

I need to be zen, and it's not happening. I'm all out of fruit, Charlie. I need to take a breath, do the work, and not freak out. I have no idea why I'm this hyper today. I haven't eaten an excessive amount of sugar (yet). I got enough sleep. Nothing's wrong, really, and yes, I did something bold and surprising and perhaps a little foolish, but people do far far worse things along those lines all the time. Or stupider, or make bigger fools out of themselves. So calm down, Jag. You have work to do.

Yeah, that's the magic phrase, isn't it. You have work to do. Shut up and soldier, soldier. Sir, yes sir. Let the good times roll.
