Good Day

So, I've had a good day...for reasons from nice reviews on some stories (one even said, I couldn't ask for better from Whedon himself) to getting a lot of things done to still riding the wave of good job news and actually completing some writing and the official change of KNTR to a true 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  My brother-in-law, who had been unemployed, got a new job.  Another friend, who just may have started this good streak by sending some karma, has some probable good things coming, too (hi, MALi!).  And then, someone I truly look up to reports this: 

"...the Softwire paperback is sold out and going into to reprint."

Translation:

PJ Haarsma's The Softwire: Virus on Orbis 1 has sold out its entire first printing!

Second printing begins!


WOO-HOO!!!

That is all.

AWESOME!

Now...wait...when does he have to contractually cut the hair?

(Readies Kidnap Kit to save the Silver Tresses from shearing....)

That Kidnap Kit be ambiguous.

We could secure the tresses by absconding with their source...or perhaps we could safeguard the locks of perfection by kidnapping the perpetrator of the cutting?

Hm...decisions, decisions...

My foolish bet.

At first I wasn't worried about the bet I made with Nathan, but now I'm getting a little nervous now. Nathan would cut my hair just for the asking.

You know, PJ, it's a little known fact that I'm a master of many sorts of magic...and I hereby cast a supreme spell of protection over your flowing locks. Nathan can't cut them with anything less than the all powerful shears of Thicknar Seven now, and let's see him manage to get his paws on those babies! Frankly, if he manages it, I suppose he'll deserve the pleasure of shortening your mane-but I'm still making you that chain mail collar.

Ok, now that that's done:

Peej! Nice to see you over here. Lovely user name.

Saw this earlier today and wanted to respond, but I simply had to find the time to make you a nice spiffy icon before I could.

Congratulations, PJ. You deserve it.

Your magic

Thanks!

How about using that magic on The Softwire? Send some attraction energy out into the universe or something. I'm open to suggestion :)

Aw! You used it! Thanks, Peej!

I have a textless version, too, and I can play with fonts if you want. Just let me know. I played with the RoO logo a bit and such, but nothing else worked well so far...

As for my magic and The Softwire, it doesn't need it, PJ.

The Softwire is magic all by itself.
