it's easy to forget if they keep you on the ground

Back from the funeral and feeling wiped out, but okay. Some wonderful family friends really ameliorated the worst of the experience for me (particularly their four-year-old daughter, who has decided not to be nervous of me anymore and spent half the wake asking me a lot of very earnest questions). I'm so glad it's March tomorrow; I'm really ready to start the climb out of this winter.

(I'm also starting to get really excited about school! All my dad's random cousins were asking me a lot of questions about it, and I should be getting my further information in about a month, so I can finally start some more in-depth planning. Also, I'll probably need to officially inform my job in a month or so.)

Anyway, right before I left, I finally finished a piece of fanart I've been working on for awhile. I had the idea when I first saw some of Patrick Stump's publicity photos from late last year, and it wouldn't leave me alone. Something about the sharp clothing and oddly distant expression. (You may remember this preview doodle of Patrick with ray guns.) Full image behind the cut:

In a thrilling reversal, jjtaylor has written a story in this universe: Nothing To Confess. I am so fucking excited to read it, I can't even tell you. :DDD
