I'm trying to decide whether to be a little pissed off or not. A person approached me via email saying that she liked my Elfwood gallery and asked if I'd be willing to do a request for her. I said yes, because I like drawing stuff for other people when I can't come up with anything on my own.

This was a week and a half ago, about. Now today I get an email that only says: "Are you anywhere near done?". I don't know, but I think that is quite a blunt and a bit rude way to put it. When I write emails, and especially when I write to people I don't know, I try to be as polite as possible. There are tons of other ways of writing that question a bit more politely, e.g. "I was just wondering if you've had the time to work on that request of mine" etc etc. And because this thing was a request, not a paid commission, the requester (is that a word?) should perhaps consider that I'm doing it just because I want to, I don't owe them anything, and I can take my time with the drawing if I have other things to do first. Of course I'd keep them posted about how the process is going, but I think a week and a half of silence should be ok...

Well, that's no big deal, but I expect some things from people, even though I know I shouldn't. Most people perhaps don't spend as much time thinking about how something they've written sounds as I do. :shrug: Perhaps she, on the other hand, is used to quicker and more active people.

Anyway, big news: Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson are playing at the same festival here in Finland in July! MM on Saturday and NIN on Sunday. My, I have to go! I'm not that big of a MM fan, but I think they can pull off a great show that I shouldn't miss. I like the visual aspect of the band. NIN, on the other hand, cannot be missed! It is the first time ever that they are playing in Finland.

I'm also happy that although I missed The Ark's recent tour date here in Turku, they are coming on a festival gig this summer, too, so I get to see them.

I bought Sims 2: University. :dances:
