In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

It still irritates me that he has kept my name.

Fuck this. I'm about half way done with the paper. I just lost my focus today. As long as it's in by midnight tomorrow, I'm fine. I just have to hussle out some pages in the morning before I go to the doctor, and then finish it all sorts of loopy.

I can do this shit. I'm a goddamn industry professional.

I know I already mentioned this, and it's totally irrelevant to everything, but I am still tripping on the fact that Space Cowboy described how he feels about me using the exact same words I've used about him. We're secret clones of each other. :)

LOVE.

We'll never be together again in a romantic sense, and I am glad that he's found his crazy tiny Ducati-riding Space Ninja, but I'm so happy that he feels that way too. Because it feels like not ever really being alone. It's hard to explain, but when we talk about our child and teen years, it's like we were there for each other.

I am starting to sound a little woo-woo, but it's not like that...

DONE WITH THE SEMESTER (good luck Suu and Freeky, if either of you have anything else).

And :) Nigel. Having someone like that is excellent!

Feelings like that are the best, are you kidding?

Plus, there's no rule that says your soulmate has to be your lover. Ever. It kind of reminds me of Travisses and I, but he's so wrapped up in Stick-Girl that I never see him anymore. :(


Also, I got my first quasi-pro review back from my draft:

QuoteWhile reading this, I was automatically looking for a critical depth that wasn't there. I had to remind myself that this wasn't anything pseudo-intellectual, and that there was no message here. Frankly, more books today need to be like this. Not everyone has a message to the world, some just want to tell a great story to let their reader escape reality for a few minutes at a time, and that's just what this is. You have a great grasp of the time period, a period that is unfortunately almost ignored in literature (It is the "forgotten empire" after all) which is unfortunate, since it's gonna be a hard sell, and you know and I know that some idiot is going to write a review on Amazon all hot-like that you used the term "Roman" instead of "Byzantine" in the book, even though us smart people know it's the same thing and you even GIVE AN EXPLANATION IN THE INTRODUCTION. Anyways, I'm going back and starting on the hard edit, this is when I have to stop being nice. Yes, I liked the story, now I have to make you hate me.

This is when my high horse is about to get knocked down a few feet.  :kingmeh:

Post the rest of it!

You know, bad reviews are a writers best friend. Reviews that detail every horrible way in which you failed are THE BEST.

I wrote a terrible book with a completely unsympathetic lead character and my editor friend ripped it so badly after my second draft that I realized it was better suited for my diary, and scrapped the fucker. It made me a much better writer.

Got woken up an hour ago by a student.  It's not even 6am now.

Bonus fun: as I was falling asleep half an hour ago, he woke me up again.  Fuck I'm glad he's going home this morning, the little shit.

Why is there no reasonable way to say "hey, I know you didn't offer a means of contacting you when you left that anonymous love-letter at my house and that you didn't TECHNICALLY sign it but I'm just leaving this letter at YOUR house to say 'hey, let's hang out' after tracking you down like a TOTAL FUCKING CREEPER crossed with an awesome detective because I had to use Google and a bunch of other things (some of which might have been slightly over the top, but I got carried away with the challenge, knowing all the while that there would be no acceptable way of utilising the information I gathered)."

Oh, I suppose I understand why there's no reasonable way to say that.

It was a good exercise in Google-fu, though.

Meow, you have to go one step further down the creeper road, and set up a situation that looks like serendipity.

Only after the relationship is on solid ground do you reveal that you were stalking her. 



Hey, it works in movies.

The review? That's all I got, he's going back and editing it now. I trust him, he's doing what he has to do, so I'm not mad. I haven't gotten anything bad yet, it's the critical shit that comes next.


In other news, I just got called into work, because despite me calling them all day yesterday to go in and finish my work, no one was home, so they need me in like, now.

You know, when I still have 6 pages to write and LEEP this afternoon.

Oh Jesus Christ, DF is having a viewing party for that fucking show on Sunday.

Out of 174 invited, only 4 are going, and the comments are superb!

"I have to wash my hair." <--- This guy is bald.

"I have another party to go to."

"I have to pull X-Wing parts. You know, heat up sintra and get the vac table going...tedious."

"Thanks for the invite, but I'm not driving from Lowell to Nashua on a Sunday night when I have to do it again in the morning. Sorry." (The towns are right next to each other.)

"If I had cable, I would just watch it on TV at home."



...Should I be laughing at this?

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.
