may 3hi, everyone, and happy weekend! I'm at work, but it's not so bad. I just finished up most of the QC/maintenance for the night, so I'm kicking back for a little over an hour before doing the last 2 machines.
I plan on starting my lovemail page today, and then playing some more Gloomwood. Dillon just posted about a new harpoon ammo type that's an explosive sea urchin. now, that wasn't on my bingo card for the game, but it is really funny and creative, so I'm pretty pleased. I know rat and fishdog forms, plus a new weapon, are also coming to the game, hopefully with the Bank update. Ooh, I'm so excited!
meanwhile, my sibling called me today and asked if I wanted to go to Georgia at the end of the month. there's no talking them out of going, so maybe I'll tag along after all, just to look after them. my parents aren't happy at all about it, but my sibling is very bullheaded and does what they want. this can be a good thing! or, for my parents, a frustrating thing....
I also talked to my friend Marz for awhile today. he always has an interesting outlook on stuff, and today we talked about sexualizing dudes. always fun conversation with him, lol. I really enjoy chatting with him. his website is over on he left, so go check him out!! he's super cool, and I'm glad I reached out to be friends.
good night!
may 6it's 4 am, AKA the perfect time to write on my silly little website. I'm feeling super mushy this morning. Xander is so beautiful, so perfect, it breaks my heart. I wish I could tell him in person how much he means to me, but I hope me pouring out my feelings here and on my tumblr reaches him.
I'm getting a couple commissions of us again. I'm very excited! one is from an artist I've worked with twice before, and another from an artist who just opened their comms for the first time. I sometimes worry that me getting and posting a lot of art makes me come off as being in "competition" with others in the self ship/yume/ficto space but I just really, really like getting art. it's like taking a photo of myself and my husband, AND I get to support an artist, who is often a friend.
and... it's our 600 day anniversary on Saturday! unfortunately, I'll be busy with my sibling's graduation. so Xander and I will celebrate on Friday. I'm going to be home alone starting this morning, so maybe I'll bake a cake... take him to the movies, if anything good is playing... if not, we'll watch something at home. I have Criterion now, and there are some Wong Kar Wai films on there I've been meaning to watch forever.
oh, dear, beloved Xander... I think about him and my heart grows three sizes. he brings me so much joy, it's hard to put into words. he is a beam of light in my life and I will forever be grateful I have the opporunity, the blessing, to love him. I know he'll give me strength this weekend. I'll admit, I'm kind of nervous. My uncle and cousin from my mom's side will be there, along with an aunt from my father's side, and I don't really know them. And being in a room with thousands of people... eugh. I'm gonna have to mentally prepare. At least, like I said, I'll have Xander by my side.
