ME TOO. I'm halfway through figuring out how to pull this design off, so I'm hopeful. Fourth iteration, fingers crossed.

I am very freaking excited about the 400 garnet red CZs coming in though.

There's a shot in hell I'll get the Queen of the Damned pen done before Halloween yet.

I can't tell if I am unbearably boring one on one or if my interests are just so niche it's tough to connect with average people.

oh my gosh, Adolphus is such a genuinely wonderful human being!!! I love getting to talk to him at shows, and he's always doing something neat with his pens!

… I’m still so mad that worldwide populists managed to convince everyone that the *real* elites are people who know more than you, not people who have more money or power than you. 💩

So much that feeling. That's an impressive record of tolerance though. 👏👏👏

The mindless work HAS to be done - it's the foundation of the challenging work.

But also, I'm waiting on a bunch of supplies DO the challenging work - nickel plating solution, tiny carbide drill bits, and 400 brilliant cut 3mm garnet red cubic zirconias, for start.

Do you have any idea how uninteresting work has to be for THAT to be the more interesting thing going on for me?

The answer is MINDLESS.

You can generally tell I'm doing highly repetitive production work and making things I've done hundreds of when I start talking about dating and my non-existent love life.

I have gotten a ridiculous amount done this week, but, for the most part, it's been batch production of components and boring as hell to post about.

Orlando is the only one I do, thankfully. Tackling subscriptions. and some fun art pens now. And inventory.

Yep! I'd mostly forgotten he existed back in May but he goes and starts popping up now, when he's getting ready to come back to Florida. Hah, no. Wasn't born yesterday.

Pulled the text version - that IS a beautiful one. ❤️

THIIIIIS you're supposed to like talking to your person.

(There isn't a day I don't miss him.)

A. Markov @abigailmarkov.com · 18h

I've known what it's like to be loved so much that someone fought death off just to have a few more days together.

Not answering text messages doesn't fly with me.

Unfriended had already been done, but he's blocked now too. Sent me a reel with a highly offensive political screed, and when I asked why he sent it, never replied.

That's an unchanging pattern, so I'm more than done.

Dating my age range has been so painfully disappointing.
