Cynical
Yo...yesterday was productive. I finished working on presents for Chibi (amai_tenshi) and Aunt Batty. And that took most of the day.
Today, Mom woke me up and told me she wasn’t going to church. She has a virus. Oh...great...So I went to morning service and Sunday school alone. I couldn’t possibly tell you what the preacher preached this morning. I had brought along my notebook, and as I hadn’t written at all for over a week I was writing like a woman possessed. It felt so good! I miss writing so much, and I can’t do it as much with this new job.
Sunday school was interesting. Our teacher discussed the Da Vinci Code theory. He also went over the differences between probabilities and possibilities. For instance, it’s a possibility that I’m an alien, and I’m trying to take over the world. That is possible (anything’s possible given the right conditions). But it’s not very probable. When we asked about the book last week, he just smirked and said
“Well, there’s a reason it’s sold in the fiction section next to $ .25 romance novels.”
which I thought was hilarious. According to his research, the dude who supposedly discovered the text that prove that he was the descendent of Jesus and Mary Magdalene...was a fraud. He was around during the 1930’s and 40’s and he was helping deport Jews to Hitler’s concentration camps. Now, this may just affect me...but someone who claims to be descended from Jesus who was the Jews Messiah...probably wouldn’t be deporting Jews...because he would technically be one. Or at least descended from one. He also found out the guy wrote the stuff while he was on LSD…which explains his thought patterns. I mean the whole ‘deporting Jews’ thing does it for me. Not only that, but I consider the Bible to be truth, therefore anyone who adds or takes away from it is not truthful. That just simplifies things.
The rest of the day has been spent, typing up stuff, reading fan fics and lounging around with mom. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was so very good, but the it always is. And for some reason I got to looking at Sailor Sun and Sailor Earth fan fics on FF.net. It’s weird. But I remembered an old Sailor Moon story I’d read a long time ago about the Neo Sailor Senshi where Chibiusa was now Neo Sailor Moon. But her parents had tampered with her memories or something, so she didn’t remember her time among the sailor senshi when she was a child...that’s all I really remember. She was totally mad at them for denying her the right of her own memories...and I loved the Neo Sailor Senshi. They had a Jupiter Kamen instead of a Tuxedo Kamen because Sailor Jupiter had a son instead of a daughter. Pretty cool. But anyway. I started sorta searching for that, but then I came across a review of “Overused Plot ideas for Sailor Moon fan fics”. This person was saying that the Sailor Sun, Sailor Earth, and Neo Senshi were all over-used ideas, most of them being Mary-Sue’s (I still would love to know how that term got it’s name), and over-all stupid. So, I went on FF.net to see if I could find any good Sailor Sun or Sailor Earth fics. I found one that was passable for each...which is terrible.
Here’s the thing...if I can’t read the fic...I’m not gonna try. If your words are broken, misspelled, or not edited correctly (as in you have a bunch of paragraphs so that I can tell who’s talking instead of whole huge paragraph with everything including quotes floating around in it), I will not even read the fic. I will close out that window, and that will be my last thought on it. That’s kind of sad, because there was a fic that was written that I really got into, and for some reason the author decided not to edit the last chapter properly...so I trudged through that one, but if I see the first chapter like that, I’m not reading it. If you don’t consider your work worthy of proofreading and editing, why should I consider it worthy of my reading time? Honestly.
So there were a lot of those that I just weeded out. I didn’t go over all of them, mind you, but I did go over a lot. Then I got to thinking of writing a Sailor Moon fic again. But I totally don’t want it to be a Mary-Sue! So, I’m really going deep into character development and plot before I even try at the first chapter...
Other than that, my life sucks so very much. Tomorrow I work 8-5…8 to frikin’ 5! OMG! I know, I know, it’s our Columbus Day sale and all...but still, that’s really stupid of him! Why tax all your workers by making them work huge shifts instead of asking all your works to work small shifts? Honestly. I’m gonna be hurtin so much tomorrow...that’s why I made myself post. I might drag myself to the computer, I might not. Either way, I should post today.
My nose is all bruised and soar from being excessively, blow, rubbed, pinched, and prodded. It almost feels like it’s broken, because it’s seriously sensitive to the touch. Stupid cold that won’t just leave me alone.
Ok. That’s enough of my ranting for now. Goodnight everyone...wish me luck tomorrow.
