Stuff and business

Just a drive-by to apologise for being largely absent - Gishing is swallowing up my week, and I doubt I'll ever catch up with all your posts. Especially as I also need to finish my second BB art work, and read two long awaited Big Bangs PDQ!

But I wanted to come on to have a whinge. Then a moan/squee.

How come even online, I can still feel like the boring kid in the corner that never gets included in the cool kids' discussions? How come those horrible feelings from schooldays can linger when over forty years have gone by? I guess I'm just not cut out to be interesting enough that people want to email me to chat about stuff. You'd think at some point we'd grow out of this crap, wouldn't you. *sigh*

However, I refuse to let these stupid feelings of inadequacy get me down.

Gishweek is going rather well! Though I've failed to persuade my dentist surgery that they need a string quartet in the surgeries to calm their patients down. Which is sad, especially as I know other teams will manage that one. It's bugging me because I know two dentists, one in the US and one in Australia, and I have one friend in a string quartet and another whose kids are in the local Youth Orchestra, so it felt as though I should have been able to finagle it somehow.

Now I'm off to create an album cover featuring an animal rock star. Byeeee!

Sorry I didn't see this last week, I really don't know where the time goes and I seem to be constantly playing catch-up with friends feeds!

You really aren't the only one who feels this way, I've never been part of the cool kids gang, and on the whole that suits me fine but sometimes I do feel like I'm missing out! I actually feel more cool on LJ than in RL, mixing with all you creative types!

I think you're a very interesting person both on LJ and in RL, I'm looking forward to seeing you on Saturday. I think what's great about SPN friendships is that we start with a shared obsession interest then find lots of other things we have in common, so it's never dull!

I don't know why I posted this, and it obviously sounded more angsty than I actually felt - but it's been a bit of a revelation how many of us are sitting around feeling the same thing!

It's good to know we all feel the same, and probably all overthink it, I know I do!
