I'm going to bed. No, really, I mean it...

I am determined to go to bed, well, if not early, then at least not ridiculously late. To that end, I shall keep this post short.

The NaNo meet-up was, as usual, a lot of fun. I was a little too tired to enjoy it properly, another indication that I should get more sleep tonight. Tomorrow, as well as additional wordcount, there will be job searching. There. I've said it out loud (or written it in public, same thing), and that makes it real. I have two places to contact about dispatching jobs. Dammit, there is no reason for me not to call and at least inquire. No more self-sabotage, Phnee! No giving into Shithead. You've written 65,000 words in fifteen days, you can make two lousy phone calls.

Okay. Going to bed. I shall get up at 8am with my alarm clock tomorrow. I shall get up and have a productive day.

In other news, I have made my "rainbow socks" icon my default for LJ. It cheers me up every time I look at it. Did I mention that [livejournal.com profile] toughlovemuse not only gave me two pairs of rainbow socks on Saturday, she also gave me four more pairs on Monday? Now every day can be a rainbow socks day, as long as I do laundry at least once a week! Isn't that exciting? I know I'm excited. :)

Right. I'm off to bed. Good night, all!

Msn, I have sock envy! I only have 1 pair of rainbow socks :(

I do have knitted tangerine thigh highs though!

Hm.

I have neither rainbow socks, nor tangerine thigh highs. I've basically got black dress socks, an assortment of technical hiking and thermal socks in blue and brown, and some sport socks in gray and white that are dwindling in numbers because my dog tends to chew them up.

I sense the heavy hand of gender stereotyping at work.

Do you *want* rainbow socks? 'Cause that can be arranged...

It wouldn't be especially good cammo gear, but they can be hidden under your boots and BDU pants.

Sock-dreams has a variety of exciting socks for boys and girls! Mostly girls, I admit...

Ah if only we lived in a world where men could dress as creatively as women and not be given strange looks or thought ill off by the masses. These are the same masses who wear rainbow wigs and paint their faces to go to sporting events (like some twisted Aztec sun ceremony) yet if a guy where's rainbow socks, he must be gay, or crazy or a child molester... pooh! I say rainbow socks and major jackets for all men everywhere! ;)

Like I said: rainbow socks can be arranged, and can be kept concealed beneath boots and pants at least in the wintertime and even in the fall and spring, if necessary. Of course, I say "If you have the rainbow socks, flaunt 'em," but YMMV of course.

But wearing them under boots and pants defeats the purpose be fabulous! No no, I long for the day anyone can wear them openly and not be persecuted... I have a dream!
