giddy is as giddy does

You know how, when you tell yourself that you're going to prepare for something, when you promise yourself you'll get things ready, you'll be that one that's got it together...

and then...

you don't.

But you spring into action anyway?  The blood in your veins begins to pump.  You hunch your back in concentration.  Your muscles get tense, yet you know you can do what you're trying to do.  Not only can you do it, you can do it well.  It all slides into place just like that, one after the other, not perfect, not absolute, but with spine tingling, intense, breath taking fury?

Yeah.  I love that.  Sometimes.

P.S. If anyone's interested in a new look for their LJ, check out the 7 Giles banners I just posted at summer_of_giles.  I'll customize 'em with your name (and other text if you really want it).  And just for my flist, if you need help putting 'em up, paid or free account, I can do that too.

Hah. No, I don't know that. I always crash and burn spectacularly any time I try. :p

I really like the naughty Giles banner but I am still incredibly happy with the kickass banner you already made for me. I've still not gotten the least bit tired of looking at it.

Well, I think you can do anything you put your mind to. On the other hand, we all have different ways of working - I know mine's all high adrenaline, but it's not always the best way to do things.

LOL - yeah, if you changed banners at this point I'd have to kick your ass! (ok, kidding, really, but I love your banner too - it came out so well that it'd be hard to know you weren't using it. Then again, don't let that stop you if you want a new look).

Kidding or not, the ass-kicking would be well-deserved after the wringer I put you through while making it and I honestly do not see myself getting tired of it at any point in the near future. Es perfecto. :)
