I really didn't want to leave early last night, but it's good that I did; I'm tired but still functional this morning. (It'd be different if I weren't so much of a chronic night owl anyway; I'm a zombie at work too often already. And guilty about it, argh.)

OH FRANK. I told [livejournal.com profile] penguinkye that I think he's trying to be a completely different person right now, and she agreed that he's doing pretty well . . . until he giggles. Still love him. Still want him to shave. (Also, I want to introduce him to some rather awesome sex workers I know.) But yes, still love him. His gleeful little FACE when he's playing with Reggie! Also, Dewees. :D

Fabulous as the concert was, though, the best part of the evening was the [livejournal.com profile] intensityboat meet-up. I have hearts in my eyes for all of you, and I am so sad that I did not get to say goodbye properly. I didn't want to go. Impromptu faily serenades! Candid photos! In-person plotting! The mystery of Tabloid Mary (I trust no one)! ♥ I will have t-shirt designs soon.

Tomorrow I get more [livejournal.com profile] olivia_circe! Also there is an Umbrella Academy preview for me to make grabby hands at.

"Depression and misery are this great little house to live in by yourself," he says. "You know where everything is, and no one comes and bothers you.”

That's a much more articulate way of putting it than I've ever managed, Pete Wentz. I don't know whether to thank you or cover my eyes, because I've been living in that house for a big chunk of this year, and it's really hard to step out of it once you're comfortable. Infinitely worth it, though, so I'm trying.

Day three of our fictional band, and already we're slashing ourselves. *g*

I'm going home (Western Mass) for a long weekend; my grandmother's down from Chicago, and I haven't seen my brother in over a month. (Poor kid's working himself to the bone to afford JYA in France. Summer camp and an ice cream parlor; frankly, I'm really glad he's still breathing.) Should be a good trip; Ev and I are going to see the New Pornographers tonight, there'll be local theater at some point, and it'll just be great to be back in the Valley. Then they're following me back to Boston on Tuesday, for a Red Sox game (I haven't been since I was twelve).

I'm bringing my laptop, so I'll have internet access, but I doubt I'll be online much. And I'll be scannerless, so if I finish MCR fanart or Intensity Boat merch designs, they'll have to wait until I get back.

Mostly I just wish I could bring my guitar. All this band talk (fictional though it is--I feel like I should start using small text a la [livejournal.com profile] mina_de_malfois) makes me want to practice more. We learned three new songs and something like eight new (very related) chords at the last class. Hopefully I won't forget them. /o\

Ahaha, oh god. Just to follow up on last night: you guys should totally come join the community for our new band, [livejournal.com profile] intensityboat. How can you pass up the chance to become some of the first fans of "the only queer-positive all-female twee-core band in New England?" And if that doesn't convince you, you should really check out the lyrics to "Stage Gay."

(OMFG, Rel and Guin, did you ever sleep last night? That Kerrang interview is my favorite thing in the world ever. I love all of you so much. ♥)

Today could really have been pretty awful, with my boss out again, my floor almost empty (and silent as the grave, tempting me to play really inappropriate music), and my most obnoxious of coworkers occasionally breathing down my neck. (She is the queen of trivial details.) However! Several excellent reasons why it was not:

-The fact that I sketched out almost the entire second half of the coffee comic, in the morning before my coworker had a chance to start with the hovering. Apparently I should do big projects in halves more often; seeing the completely-finished first bit in front of me while I work is seriously encouraging.

-[livejournal.com profile] chmclfairytales's Baby!Ways picspam. It reduced me to RL giggles (and includes a shot of artist!Gerard that I hadn't seen before; I will be strong and not tape it to the cover of my sketchbook).

-My band. ♥ You can read all about Intensity Boat, our first album (Here, Have Some Poncho), and our upcoming tour right here in our sexy bassist and spokeswoman's journal. I, of course, am the pretentious artiste guitarist (& occasional keyboardist) with not one but two stage names, and a look vaguely reminiscent of Two Face (without the actual facial scarring). Twee-core is here to stay, sister! I wish it were real, I'd be out of this office-bound life so fast . . . thanks to [livejournal.com profile] olivia_circe and [livejournal.com profile] jjtaylor for enlivening my afternoon. Did someone mention liner notes?
