Almost finished! Just need to shove wire through the bits that need wire and then sew everything on.

Also, a couple things I noticed yesterday that really bothered me. The pettier one first: if you jump out at someone, or suddenly grab their shoulders from behind, or call out to them when they aren't expecting it, you haven't scared that person; you have startled that person. Being scared implies fear, and fear is not that involuntary little jump you do when something unexpected happens. Fear is something deeper, something way worse than that little jump. So when people startle somebody, and then are all, "Did I scare you?" I get really annoyed.

The other thing that really bothered me is this: upon learning that someone got a bad grade on a test, the proper thing to do is not to tell them, "There goes your A." That is a dick move and is under no circumstances okay to do. Saying, "At least she had an A," does not make it okay. Saying, "That guy always says stuff like that, it's just how he is," does not make it okay. Saying, "She'll probably act like it never even happened tomorrow," does not make it okay. There is, in fact, nothing that can be said that could make it okay, although apologising for being a total asshole would be a good idea. That's not going to happen, because the guy in question sees absolutely nothing wrong with what he said ("It was just a joke!") and is, in fact, a total asshole, but it would be nice if it did happen.

Anyway, off to go play with wire. It's only slightly safer than playing with needles!

( It's done! )

There's a Persona 4 joke in there somewhere, but I'm not going to make it. (Also there are like five other dolls on my bed that aren't in that photo... well, four, but there are supposed to be five. Wilson fell off the bed and I haven't fished him out from under it yet.) I actually had to go out and buy more stuffing, and there still isn't quite enough in the head - but I'm not ripping out all those seams just to do that, so instead I reinforced the back a bit and called it good enough.

Also, I got very lucky: my physics test got pushed back another day, so now it's on Friday. That means that instead of doing tons of physics homework tonight, I get to do tons of physics homework tomorrow night! :D It's just as well; I spent the afternoon learning more about my car and then the time after the meeting finishing up shadow-kun. I'm so tired now, haha.

Tomorrow: perform soliloquy! Write up some R+G journal entries! Actually pay attention in physics tutorials/class (maybe)! Add hood to shirt! Do physics! (I found a secret weapon for that last one - well, not so much "found" as "was told about and demanded it to be forwarded to me," but still.) But that's all tomorrow (and tomorrow, and tomorrow...) - for now, bedtime.
