It is 2:00 AM here in Washington, DC. I have a long weekend ahead of me and I should be in bed happily dreaming about Annette Benning rubbing my feet and telling me how brilliant my observations on male/ female relations are.
Instead, I am sitting at my computer and listening to music because my body clock tells me it is only 10:00 PM. I am still on Alaskan time, and if history is any judge, I will be for about three more weeks. I also feel I should be at the show.
So while I wander around the internet, leaving silly commentary on other people's blogs, I am once again beginning to freak out a bit about not having any work after the 5th of June. The little fear fairies are dancing around on my skull, whispering in my ear "Get a real job or you'll starve to death", and I am at this moment not unconvinced they are right. (pardon the double negative, grammatically incorrect but far more dramatic)
In addition to that incessant droning of the fear fairies, I am haunted by the imps of isolation. They sit in the corners chanting the litany, "You will never date again. You will die alone. And Heaven knows, it's more likely George Bush will become a liberal democrat than it is you will ever get laid again.
For a long time, I could never get my personal life and my professional life to go well at the same time. As I seem to be heading downhill on the one, and am already pretty low on the other, I am sickly curious to see what will happen next. Will one suddenly leap forward? Might I get months and months of paid design work? Or maybe I will fall in love.
Now, wouldn' t that be something?

Dear Klyph,
Don't let the Fear Fairies and Imps into your heart. They will trick you and trip you up if you're not careful. I know this from experience. I have a Typo Monster dwelling beneath my computer desk who occasionally sneaks out and undermines my proofreading skills if I don't give him his Monster Snacks.
You are one righteous dude (female readers-he's a dead ringer for the actor Stanley Tucci. He is THE best male cook I know and is terribly funny)and don't you forget it!!!! Otherwise I'll just have to slap you around a bit. A very wise being once said, "You must unlearn what you have learned..."

Thanx. I needed that. And I really appreciate the ego boost and Yoda quote all in one fell swoop. Rock on.
