Face my judgment!

Tag: Golden Heart — Kerry Allen @ 12:29 pm

My (extremely noisy) FedEx dude just dropped off my Golden Heart judging packet. I was so excited. I felt all powerful and junk.

And then I realized, at this very moment, somebody else is holding my crappy have-since-been-revised-and-are-much-better-I-swear first two chapters and feeling all powerful and junk.

Major buzz killer, and no chocolate in the house with which to self-medicate.

    I’m going to smack you next time I see you. What happened to “if you can see it, you can be it”?

    You need a barfing smiley soley for use of that phrase. I understand the mindset you’re going for, but you need a more kick ass catch phrase for it.

    And then you need to act like it. Smack!

    “IYCSIYCBI” is accelerant for action sequences (trying to outrun its cheesiness, mostly). “Expect the worst” is for after I’ve acted, it’s out of my control, and I have to sit around waiting to see what happens.

    It’s a defense mechanism. If I get a cummulative grand total of 6 points (which, if I understand the rules correctly, is the worst possible score aside from disqualification), my reaction will be, “Eh, I thought so.” Flaming face of shame for a couple minutes, then on with life. If I final, think how pleasantly surprised I’ll be.

    The only crushing disappointments I’ve suffered are the ones I didn’t see coming and therefore didn’t brace myself for. Not a coping mechanism recommended by mental health professionals, but still considered preferable to my suggested alternative of drugs and alcohol and self-mutilation. I don’t have “sunny and optimistic” in my repertoire, babe. That’s why I hang out with you and Mr. Perfect.

    Well, that and to slowly but surely corrupt you… :twisted:

    Didn’t there used to be a “hope for a best” in front of the “expect the worst”?

    Smack!

    It just occurred to me you’re probably enjoying the smackage, you freak.
