Have you ever noticed that when you get pissed off, and are really just VENTING about something that language takes a back burner to emotion. How we say what we're feeling is very informal, sometimes loaded with profanity (like mine, *pulls face*) and we're not a whole lot concerned with how other people are gonna react. Mostly because we're not thinking about other people's reactions to our own vitriole. Really. I mean, when I get pissed or offended at something and want to vent about it, I really just don't even THINK about other people; I guess I'm just not that good a person.

BUT, when someone points out that "ummm, dude. You might be hurtin' peeps feelings here," we get formal. Like, "Oh! I do apologize. That certainly did not even cross my mind." We're sincere in our remorse, but it's so stiff and stilted, it gets taken for "How dare you imply that I would be so stupid as to hurt people!"

Sometimes I wonder if we make a situation worse when pulling back and trying to retract what WAS said by offering apologies and the like. *shrug*

Just wondering....

Well, it's been a few years since the first time I tried this with disastrous results. I just finished sigining up for NaNoWriMo. What? Yeah.

I'm gonna be doing original fiction this year. No fan fic or anything like that.

It seems that I apparently suck at anything creative. My last couple of stories (other than the ones for mcsmooch) have sucked beyond the telling and peeps just don't wanna say anything. 'S okay. 'S all good. I'll just try something different for a change, see if I can't get things moving that way.

So. naNoWriMo it is.

Also? Heard back from the band. No go. They went with someone else. *sigh* Terrific.

So, I guess if you've ever wanted to blast me, now's the time to do it. It seems that it's my turn.

1. my dryer just quit on me. I mean, it could be because I have a large load of jeans/pants/cords in there, but umm, still. FREAKSOME.

2. There's been the faint sound of music through my apt for the last few hours. Could be my ears ringing lightly, though with all the excitement of the weekend games, but still kinda weird.

3. Weird thumps and bumps. could be neighbors being rowdy. Who knows. Bizarre.

Gonna go put my dryer to rights again, get it spinning and blowing my clothes dry, hopefully, it'll stay running for the rest of it's allotted time.

Wrote a little college football porn earlier today (yesterday?) sunday afternoon.

Go. Have a looksee. College boys, sexin' it up after a game.

I mean, it's only gonna cause me to burn in hell for a little while. Honest. OMG.

Also, thanks, flisties, for going over to Deni's journal and wishing her a happy birthday. It really was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for her, complete with parental guilt trippiness and harranguing. Her fam is whacked out, seriously, whacked out. Nut jobs, every last one of em. But you guys rocked. And I thank you all! *hugs*

I'm freakin' out, here. Arkansas leads Florida 10 to 3 at the half. Dudes. This is BIG HUGE. Since Old Miss last year, when Tebow made 'THe Promise" FL has not lost a game. Yes, there is another half of football left to play, but my god. They're behind. They've got to come out and put all the pieces together and play GREAT defensive and offensive football. OMG.

They - whoever they are - say you should never google yourself. You'll just get to read all the bad shit people never say to your face. True. But every now and again, I do it. and most of the time, what I find is nice. There's been a couple of times when there's been something negative or a bad review or whatever. But that's cool. but overwhelmingly, the stuff I find about myself is pretty good.

This is what I found today. It's on the 'not so good' end of the spectrum. Someone's pithy review of my [info]mcshep_match story. How awesome is this?

"Wow, it took over 15,000 words just for John to realise his feelings for Rodney? This was just bad. The plot was cliched and felt really contrived. It rambled on and on and then ended with a deus ex machina. It would be one thing if what happened actually made sense, but it didn't. It was obvious every step of the way that the only reason for anything happening was that the author wanted to get John and Rodney together. Which...if you're going to involve a mysterious planet's technology and some game that intruders are forced to play just isn't enough. The planet's inhabitants need actual motives as well. Plus the dialogue throughout was just really off."


Ahhhh. I have arrived.

    I took these at the end of July, on my way back to Ocala after spending the month with my momma. I was driving down 27, headed north, and the sky just...well...lit up like it was on fire. I had to get some shots of it. the last one is doctored - I removed the power lines and poles, but the others are completely untouched.

    Aren't they beautiful? )

    Awesome, huh?
