Think of velvet night and car hoods and holding hands and stars, Sean.
oh I just went all wibbly inside.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I felt my first kick!
Woot!!!
Why can't I just live there, in that moment?
It would be nice, but....
Except I can barely wait for the next moment.
This.

Yay for first kicks, GC! What a wondrous moment!
And IOmeN: Agent of Awesomeness loves the revisions I did on When the Stars Go Blue (AKA, the Carmen book). Right now, she's not foreseeing any more revisions (thank the gods and little fishes) and it shall begin making its rounds in September.
Maybe now I can relax and work on Between Here & Gone and try to get it finished by December, if not sooner.

Oh, the past is a perfect predictor of the future, provided you keep living in the past an not move on. Yours truly being a prime example.
Count me among the people who need to print that out and put it somewhere I'll see it EVERY DAY.
Yay GC!
Yay Barb!
Yay Sean & Date Girl!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm getting all stressed out about my dissertation. What if I can't finish it? What if it's not good enough to pass? Right now, I've kind of got two big results, and my advisor keeps saying that, once I find a way to link them, then I'll have a thesis, but I can't find anything to link them in the way that he thinks they ought to be linked, and if I can't find that, then will he say that he can't recommend me for graduation? I don't know if he's right that what I have isn't enough without that link. I've found some smaller links, but not the sort of thing he's talking about. What if I really can't do this? I feel like I've been working my ass off and getting a lot done this summer -- I've written at least ten pages, which brings me to a total of about thirty, and the thesis is supposed to be about 100, but a lot of that is background stuff, and I've got at least another five to ten pages worth of results that I haven't written up yet -- but he starts off just about every meeting with, "I feel like we haven't accomplished much this summer," and he's got to be a better judge than I am of how significant the work we've got is.

I've never dissertated, but I don't know that I'd trust his judgment on much of anything. I'm not sure his mental version of your work conforms to reality in a meaningful way.
