I can't keep this up any longer....

I can't get up the courage to send anything out to get it published. Even my fanfics are crud. ((To the bitch who flamed the "Sandman" fic I posted on ff.n: It's a prose poem; it doesn't have to have a plot. If you can't accept that kind of writing, whatever you do, *DON'T* read Brian Aldiss, because none of his short stories have plots, either.)) I can't keep working at this dead-end job among all these stupid, uncaring, idiotic, childish, selfish adult brats. I can't get the hell started with anyone because I'm cursed with the shadows of a bad relationship and because I simply don't fit the stupid standards of "what men really want".

Funny you should mention "don't like, don't read", since I used to put that on the fics I wrote when I started writing fanfiction (which was only about three years ago...); I've learned a lot since then. I'll give the reviewer in question points for being polite in the way they expressed their review, but it did little to mask the condescention and lack of forbearance.

I'll get over it: in the meantime, thanks for the hand up.

This part of me says... I probably should have taken one look at your icon and controlled my language. Sorry about that. I just get excited, and even my mother is appalled occasionally. I have no idea where I got that.

Uh... it's from my dad. UGH.

Heh, don't sweat it: I may be a (for the most part, I hope) spiritually-minded person, but I've let loose with some doozies when I was really... mad.
