Little Things You Hate

[Emong]

The second season of Game of Thrones just ended T_T

When friends tell you repeatedly what a good writer (or <<insert creative endeavor here>>) you are, but when you put up stuff for them to see, nobody makes a single fucking comment.

Now you know why I don't post anything!

That's my life in a nutshell...

The flip side of the coin is that I hate leaving comments on people's work without anything substantive to say, so often I'll look at somebody's work without saying anything.

Probably doesn't help, but at least that's my train of thought.

You do have a point and I can be the same way sometimes, but being ignored sucks.

On the other hand, it's absolutely thrilling when you're talking to one of your friends and they say "Oh yeah, I saw/read/watched that, and.."

Trying to think of how to word this without sounding like a dick...

I'll admit that everyone can be that way from time to time, including myself, where they don't have anything substantial to say about a friend's creative work and so they choose not to say anything. It's a bummer, but if it happens to my work, I don't really hold it against my friend.

The problem for me is if the friend was actively encouraging me and supporting my work the whole time, and then when I debut it, they don't say a word. That's when we've got the issue. It's like a parent helping their kid make their costume for the school play, rehearsing all of their lines with them, taking the night off from work to go see it, and then just not showing up. Or even worse, showing up, but not saying "good job" or even acknowledging the kid afterward. That's unnatural, right? If you're going to be involved and supportive, then be involved and supportive to the end!

Otherwise - and this is the part that's hard to not sound like a dick - just stay out of my business. If you're going to leave me hanging and cold at the end, then I don't want you involved in the first place. I don't want to be the kind of person who holds a grudge against my friends for one personality defect, but little things like that are hard to overlook and they lead to bigger things like trust issues later.

Now, I am going to clarify that I'm talking specifically about friends here - people that you expect to support you. If I don't get comments on my work from total strangers, oh well. It sucks, but a lack of commentary can make you re-evaluate your work, too, because then you're trying to figure out why it wasn't worth discussion to them. Anyway, that's an aside, but an important one.

just stay out of my business.

I can identify with this a lot. "OH, you're makin' a movie? That's AWESUM, what's it about? Can I read the script? Lemme seeee"

For me, it's difficult to explain to people that I take what I write very seriously, and after you spend months and months writing something, it sucks ass when they just come back and go "I'll read it when I get around to it." It is bullshit. Needless to say, the only people who I let see/read the script were good pals of mine who actually gave me a bunch of feedback. (thanks guise!)

Not even my own family would do me that honor. They kinda feign interest, but if I were to hand them a copy and say "could you read this and red-ink it for me by next week? I'd really appreciate your critique!" I would not get it back. So in your case, I would go back to the person who was pushing you, and say "Hey, I finished this, I'd really appreciate it if you read this and gave me your thoughts."

I also seem to miss things sometimes like AMV releases or people's personal work, but it's never intentional. If someone asks me for feedback, I'll give it to them for sure, I guess I've just reached a point where I really value time, and have realized that if I don't use it constructively it's gone.

That moment when you realize that most of your AMV ideas are too violent, sexual and/or racist to be entered into any contest.

...Or am I the only person here with that problem?

Creative Writing Portfolio do tomorrow and we had an assignment to make a piece of our biggest pet peeves. here is my piece



The polls are in; It is unanimous 100% of us love to be ridiculed, discriminated against and treated unfairly. these polls prove to have a correlation between the number of people who love getting ridiculed and the gay population. 100 years ago the percent of gays was 0 percent. There was not a single gay person. All of us good ol dudes would go to work, gym, get drunk and lay with our lovely ol gales. According to the national survey of sexual health the gay population has risen to a whopping 8%. Gays are a serious topic, just like the 2008 swine flu epidemic. Now a days we must watch everything we do, make sure when we change in the gym we dont have a queer looking at the angle of the dangle (as we know all gay men love all men, point blank, Period).
Marriage is a commitment between a man and a woman that has dated back to pre-historic period. this is a heterosexuals right not a homosexuals privilege. homosexuals will only ruin what marriage means because all homosexual men bounce from man to man like women change clothes. we all know stereotypes are true. Black People love chicken, watermelon, kool-aid and white people cant jump. Do you see any good white basketball players? i don't! Its not like 50 % of marriages in america fail. Divorce is a thing of the past. Once a man and a woman get married, a man and a woman stay married until the day they die. Another thing of the past is fake marriages; People dont get married for citizenship in america. Nor do they have crazy nights in vegas and wake up with a ring on their finger.
Research now says jewish people didnt crucify jesus but the homosexuals did. One reason they found this statement to be true si that the lovely decor jesus was wearing mathes his lovely shoes. the solution to california's and more wifely americas gay infestion is that we are not attacking them enough. Gay teen suicide is on the rise but the gay population isnt shrinking fast enough. We want all the gays to dead in 10 years so our kids wont have to deal with what we are dealing with today.We need to attack them hard. We need to do more cruel and unusual punishment. Capture them, kill anyone that displays public affection with the same sex, Deport them to antarctica and las but centainly not least, tar and feather them. You can also do these things to avoid them. Go out at night(gays hate the night because that's when they all turn into straight and again, they do not want there friends and family seeing them act normally). Avoid manhattan and california at all cost( the gay population in those two areas are through the roof,1 out of every 3 people are gay in those locations). Buy gay repellant at you're local CVS( a special chemical called straightogen). Also to detect any homosexuals in the vicinity bring your gaydar (which you can purchase at any retail store). [these are the ways gays fucked up society at all aspects.]
