Squee!

With sigune's assistance I had something made for Prophecy, and I just got the prototype shots back, and I'm totally geeked beyond belief!!!

*jumps for joy*

Grrr.

Just had a little Fourth of July get-together, and my hormones must be at the "EVERYTHING ANNOYS ME" phase, because, well, I was annoyed at everything.

Well, I'm annoyed while it's happening, and then later I'm upset with myself for being annoyed and feeling guilty because I was...well, not outright rude, but certainly obviously tense and a bit ill-mannered. Ugh.

Headache of doom, as well.

Fantastic entry about titling your work.

painless_j discusses titles, why some work, and why some don't.

As some of you might know, I have an English major. One of the most formative classes I took was a Shakespeare class. The woman teaching the class continually took off points for having boring titles for papers.

I'd always had boring titles. I always felt like it was kind of...showing off, maybe? to have fabulous titles. I mean, what if it doesn't live up to a cool title? But this teacher really pushed me, so I started naming my papers wildly, and she gave me full points.

I've kind of gotten out of that, but J really made me think about it. The title for Retribution was pretty boring, but at the last moment I froze, and went back into that old don't-make-the-expectations-too-high mode. Now that I read her entry, I realize that I'm not doing myself any favors by naming things so vaguely.

*resolves to name wildly in the future*
