Professionally, it's not in keeping with the creamy cool exterior impression I like to keep with an editor.
::snicker::
Oh, they know.
I told mine upfront that she'd get two sides of me-- the intellectual, analytical perfectionist. And the crazed, whacked out artisteTM, who is also a perfectionist.
My agent, gods love her, gave me the "off the ledge" call earlier today. Both she and my editor have faith that the intellectual side of the brain will beat the craxy artiste into submission.
YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! All around WOOHOOOOOs!
Ha, a search for Papyrus stationery store reveals this cringe-worthy picture.
Which picture are you specifically referring to? I have nothing against Papyrus. Or Comic Sans. Or most fonts, I suppose. Well, some of them are dumb.
The one at the top of the blog. Wherein someone has put up a sign about her impending marriage.
Congrats Allyson.
Speaking of scars. I have another wound to add to my knuckle thanks to cheese graters.
Ooof, I told mac tonight that a young woman (30s) he met from my parents' church died this weekend. She had been in a long battle with a painful and debilitating disease. There had been much crying.
We totally used Papyrus for our wedding invitations...though that was almost 6 1/2 years ago now. I swear I'd only seen that font maybe six times ever before then; within a year it was all over everything, everywhere, but I
swear
it wasn't that way in January 2004!
eta: Oh, geez, msbelle, I'm so sorry for you and Mac and the young woman's family. May can feel free to lay off you anytime now; I'm pretty sure you've already gotten your full month's ration of heartache.
Congrats, Allyson!
I have a few decent scars - one on my ankle when I tipped over a motorcycle while sitting on it and got pinned underneath. Another where the cartilage still dips in just below my knee from a go kart accident. The big one on my left arm happened when I had to break into my own home and a loose piece of glass dislodged and settled into my arm while I was reaching through to unlock the door.
I hope whoever wins the espresso machine loves it as much as I do!
