Despite my bravado, I was feeling a bit down after reading the hateful review yesterday. Thus, the universe interceeded on my behalf. First, I had a lovely time hanging out at a coffeeshop with my friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jiawen in which she nearly convinced me of the merits of writing fanfic in my own universe (it could happen.) Regardless, we had an excellent time chatting about Minicon and fangirliness.
Then a royalty check arrived in the mail.
The very best revenge, my friends, is living well.
Later, Mason and I had a fun time at Kuk Sool Wan, despite the fact that I SWEAR TO GOD/dess, that as soon as my groin muscle starts feeling better, Sa Bum Nim decides it's an excellent day to spend the _entire hour_ working on cartwheels. I did pretty well, but right at the end I twisted funny and pulled it again. Sigh. But in some good news, I think I might finally be remembering some of the techniques thanks to the patient teaching of Will JKN (who normally scares the crap out of me, but who is secretly a very sweet young man.) Regardless, we're actually going to be going a lot this week because, as I said earlier, Mason is testing for his blue stripe on Saturday. I also just signed up for a topics class in "falling" for Friday. I'm going to be an excercise queen between all this KSW and Japanese bokken which starts Wednesday (tomorrow! Whoot!)
I also spent some time yesterday working on another proposal. For years Shawn has been bugging me to write up a series idea we had a long time ago based on the idea that somewhere out there is a "hoarder" who is actually Pandora, of the famous box. I got most of a plot formalized while waiting forjiawen to meet me so we could figure out where to go (the original coffee house we were going to meet at is SO IRISH [how Irish is it?] that they were closed for Easter Monday.)
Let's hope today is as productive, eh?
