I am very much a "deadline or it doesn't happen" person, too. It's far from ideal, but at least you're making it work! I once read something where someone wanted to write a book but kept stalling out, so their spouse was like "if you don't finish it in six months I will donate a bunch of money in your name to your least favorite political candidate" and while it's not something I want for myself, I respect the process. (Also, I think if you're going to tie your mental health to anything sports related, Cal is a good choice this season!!)

as usual I have about a million things I want to say in reply to this, but for now: I was *so* happy I got to see you, I'm *so* glad we finally watched Spinal Tap together (along with many other great movies), and I am *so* excited for St. Louis!!!!!!! oh and also "It takes as long as it takes is a saying for a reason, but also sometimes it takes as long as it takes because I’m a piece of shit!" I feel friendship obligated to say you're not a piece of shit but also the phrasing of this did make me snort laugh lol
