Just ego trippin'

A little bit of Obvious Child starts off my day with that ratatatting of the drums. Maybe to signify, a big start and a big finish, a day that started with developing the Thorn Media business identity. It’s tough trying to decide how you want to appear to the world. I mean, villanovababy (the blog, the girl, the life) is what it is. No real thought or planning, just pure self-involvement. But business is business. That’s a whole other perspective there. Business me is totally different. (not THAT different…) I want people to think brilliant, creative, textured, bright, organic, modern… and nothing too feminine or masculine. After all, Thorn Media is Tim AND Erin. It needs to personify us both. So far I have color swatches and a tentative logo and that is about it. *sigh*

I usually have the door to my office shut because I really hate being snuck up on. With my music going I rarely hear Tim until he’s right behind me which can be enough to scare the crap out of me. I’m not into sudden noises. We have a system that works pretty well: instant messaging. Gets the point across without disturbing a train of thought. The only problem is if I forget to close the door, then he wanders in and shouts, “LOVE!” and does the exaggerated kiss blowing motion…(We have this habit of exclaiming love for each other in one word shouts and athletic gestures.) It can scare the bejeesus out of me if I’m not expecting it. He just did it a minute ago and I almost died. :)

Maybe our Thorn Media logo should just be a cartoon of Tim blowing kisses and me falling out of my chair. Nah… *scribbles furiously* Back to the drawing board.
