Going!

Bought the ticket to go to Iceland, the other day - June 1st to August 29th!  and naturally, almost the next day I got in contact with a wonderful woman in Stockholm who wants me there in early-mid August.  Augh!  of course!  Everything is always like this.  We're still talking, though, and she says she can be a little flexible, so after I get my references to her to confirm that I'm awesome - haha oh I'm so pompous - and get a little more solidity on her wanting me there, I'll talk to Mr. Iceland to see about me leaving a little early.  Maybe we can meet in the middle; I'm SO ok with meeting in the middle.  If it means me getting to be in Stockholm again, I'd meet her all the way at her end.

I talked to my uncle for the first time in two and a half years today; he just called out of the blue!  We had a little falling-out back then, so I'm very glad that we're ok again.  He's a pilot, and while we were talking I told him about Iceland and Sweden and it turns out he flies out there sometimes!  He was very excited about maybe getting to visit me some time while I was over there, and it'll be so nice to see him again.  He's a great guy and I've missed him terribly.

I'm so so so busy with a million art projects right now. There's a huge craft show a few towns over this weekend and I'm not ready for it at ALL, I've still barely started painting the illustrations for the children's book I'm making with a friend, and it's only just yesterday that my favourite Finn and I finished the script for the comic book contest we're entering together - we've hardly even begun drawing it, and it's due on June 1st!  I want to have the children's book done before I go, too - and I've still got so much to do just to move, too!  I'm not stressing too badly yet, but I know I will be soon if I don't get my butt in gear!

Time to go get to work, then!
