< for a steady boy to wear | posted at 8:49 pm on July 16, 2003 > i have such a respect for tithonus. his entries always provoke and stimulate me, and i can only hope to sometime be as mature as him, or else lose at least a little of the petty things that bother me.that's my plug for the day... but it isn't intended as an advertisement, it's intended as a compliment. i am getting paid (paid!) for my article in the next issue of the mag -- astonishing! i inquired as to why, to which my editor simply replied 'because we can afford it.' i have never been paid for my editorial efforts before, so i take this as a huge compliment. i will always remember david saying that he 'has great respect for [me]' last year, and i think gestures like these (treating me as a real writer - he didn't even sub my work this issue) prove it. i am so incredibly flattered that someone has respect for me. tomorrow i have to buy two big presents - one for my sister's 21st, the other for tara's farewell for six months and her birthday - what shall i do? i have no ideas for either of them... yada yada. in other news nothing. lately i am feeling much more productive at work and liking it. i am applying myself. i am getting things done. it is a temporary self fulfilment. those last five |
