No, not dead yet...
Mar. 8th, 2004 09:50 pmJust forgetting to update this thing...
Been a busy week, oh yes it has. Got a job review, even though when I was hired they said I wouldn't get one... evidently I'm an outstanding tech (WHOOPIEEEE!) and a wonderful person to work with... but I'm not eligible for a raise, since I'm a temp. Botheration.
Three midterms, which have so fare resulted with two B's (still got A's overall)... more botheration. I should be acing these classes. Ah well, the quarter's almost over (hooray!), and then I've got a week to de-stress.
I've actually started a half-decent original fic, which I am majorly proud of. I have a pretty good idea of where it's going, I just have to figure out how to get there without crashing somewhere along the way. Easier said than done, methinks.
*glowers at the PPC board* I didn't comment during the RW thing, and I wasn't going to comment during this... but I'm tired of being quiet. I won't post on the PPC board about this nonsense. When Jay and Acacia ran the board (and the PPC), most (99%) of the posts were fic- or Tolkien- related. now, it's rare to find a good story post. It seemse that entirely too many people are eager to flame anyone that even a marginal PPCer points out as a Suvian, as someone who flamed them, as... anything. There doesn't seem to be much waiting for proof, or even rational discussion... just a general grabbing of flamethrowers. I think that's very sad... I used to go to the PPC board for mature conversation and a bit of sanity in an insane arena. We used to call the Suvians and their packs of friends "Rabid poodles". Lately... _we've_ been the rabid poodles. I don't flame. If I really think that I have absolutely nothing nice to say to an author, I just report them (I always have at least something nice and/or helpful to say to suvians... they're just beginning writers, most of them) for whatever it is that got my goat. Is that really such a novel concept? Botheration. Now we have a new person to harrass and harry until they run off crying (which seems to be some people's aim in life). Why? They're just kids. Ignore them - that means no posts at all, not even ones talking about how much you wish they'd go away.
Okay, I'll shut up now.
*beams* I pilled a cat today in under two minutes! I rock so much...
