- After working from 6am - 10am and 9pm - 2am yesterday, I've slept, but I'm tired. Worn down and aching for no good reason.

- Does EVERYONE in New York know the In the Heights kid?

- Last night in my workplace exhaustion I had a thought about male vs. female body language that's intriguing me. More when I test it out, but I'm pretty sure I'm right.

- Fencing. Fencing fencing fencing. This three days a week thing is starting to wear at me. Which is fine, which is sort of the point. But three days a week means that there is never a day when I'm not thinking about it now and that's a lot. Also, despite high ceilings, it is nearly impossible to practice saber in my apartment, which is driving me a little nuts.

- Need to seriously refocus on the lesbian werewolf story.

These ones I all know, this is actually a new one I feel like I've stumbled on (at least for me), although it connects to the heels vs. toes thing a little. I want to play with it at fencing tonight and see if it works.

Also a lot of what you described is why I just can't work in offices. I refuse to be the bad guy because I have self-respect.

I think one of the reasons I do so well in an office is that I'm aware of all the non-verbal chatter, and how to use it to my advantage.

I am, btw, really impressed with you and acting. I can pretend in real life to get what I want, but every time I've tried to recite someone else's words in front of an audience I come across as so fake it hurts to watch. You seem very genuine (from the brief Law and Order clip) I saw; I'm fairly certain you're not a gothic, feminine club goer as a main part of your regular life. But you pretend much better than I ever would.

To speak someone else's words, or words previously thought of, in public, while appearing natural, it is necessary to mimic what we all do spontaneously in day today life.
First we think, then we move, then we speak. Any other order seems forced, even if we don't know why.
