The Last Daughter of Krypton OOC

Little one, I would like to see anyone -- prophet, king or God -- persuade a thousand cats to do anything at the same time.

this is why I am a dog person

"I'm not asking for art criticism, Barnabas. Merely for a few honest words of appreciation."

"Honestly? Well, the perspective's shot to hell, the colours could be better chosen, and the olive tree on the left looks like an overgrown stinging nettle."

"Hmph. What the hell would you know? You're a dog."

"Did I ever say I wasn't?"

"'The colours could be better chosen,' my foot. Anyway -- I thought dogs were colour blind."

"Yeah? That's a coincidence. I mean, looking at that painting I thought you were colour blind."

"You know, Barnabas, there are those who claim that for unquestioning respect and eternal devotion, all one needs is a dog."

"Hey, schmuck, devotion you've got. Perjury isn't in the job description."

I has ideas, but it's taking a while to get them all down

XD

I'm so tired, but I has off on Wednesday, so I plan to do the majority of my posting then.
 
Yeah, wasn't he in the re-make of "The Vanishing" with Sandra Bullock and Keifer Sutherland? He was spooky in that movie.
 
Yep, I've seen it all now for sure.

What's next? Tribble-flavored Jelly Bellies?
 
I don't want to be a drama queen.

I really, really don't.

But I want to get this off my chest and I literally literally literotically don't have any other venue in which to do this. My room-mates wouldn't understand and I...

I just.

Sometimes I envy Geoffrey Chaucer.

Did you know he died before he finished The Canterbury Tales?

He had all these big epic dreams, this big ol' plan, and he died before he could finish all the individual stories for each character. He died, and we're left to wonder how it all would have ended.

But at least it doesn't have an ending that sucks.

Stephen King made this comparison, once, when he got hit by that van or whatever and was recovering, he compared him not finishing The Dark Tower before he died to Chaucer not finishing The Tales.

So I loved The Tower and I was so excited that he was finishing it and then Wolves of The Calla came out and it was so plodding and self-interested that I couldn't even finish it. Eyuggh.

So maybe, Stephen "Richard Bachman" King, it's better to die with your stuff unfinished so at least the ending doesn't suck.

That's kind of how I feel right now.

I'm stuck on some pretty major threads, one in particular in which everyone's waiting on me, and I don't want to don't want to let them down...

...but I also feel like if I go from here all my stuff is just going to suck.

And I just want to die.

I mean. I'm not going to. Do anything.

I'm not going to die, you know, intentionally. If that pretty lady with the ankh comes and gets me, whatever, I'm not going to launch myself into Her arms prematurely.

I'm not going to kill myself.

I just want to die.

(This too shall pass.)

I just...

If I can't write, can't write these beautiful stories with my beautiful friends, if I've lost my gift-- whatever paltry gift once I had --what joy is there?

(I'll be okay.)

(I'm sorry.)

(I'm so sorry.)

one rule here Chas. One rule you just gotta remember


there is no rush.

& first pants, then shoes

(ok, 2 rules)

step back, read a book, do something silly

(I got some great practical jokes)

everyone gets burned. Be it wow, work, writing, it happens

don't fret over it, just take it day by day.

you have lots of friends here hon. we all do. talk to them.

we are here if you want us & need us
 
Chas...

Listen, there is no rush, no deadline. Do what you can and only that. I mean, really, I think it took me over a week to get a three sentence reply to Rose. Trust me, we have all been there. Whatever you need, I am here. To listen, to laugh, whatever you need. I got your back.

Happy Easter everyone. Chas, sit back. Relax. Enjoy your Easter. You are truly loved, just revel in that for the time. And eventually the words will be there.
