umkay... I've seen a lot of people doing things like this (namely Jezz).

I have decided to make a thread to hold my ideas, stories, and notes to self... Right now, I have nothing finished, but I've got a few Ideas in store.

unless someone wants me to post my WoM character sheet. I may or may not do that. so, stay tuned.

1st order of business:
memo: Idea for horror story; man discovers reason for mysterious power outages in his neighborhood.

as you should be


There's no possible way for you to make that sound less... insensitive? You know I'm convinced the universe is out to get me anyway.

My personal opinion is that if you ever try aking another murder mystery...make it a little bit...slower? Not quite the word i'm looking for, but i think you might know what I mean.


It's my style. >.< I'm sorry you don't like it. Maybe I will try that later.

And yes Moat, I plan on making maybe one or two more segments... in due time.

but don't take it too hard. As if we all really expected EVERY part to be pure gold.


I somehow just noticed this...

Thanks, I guess. I think...

a wh*re is still a wh*re.


A perfection wh*re has no sexual agenda.

Oh my dear Alt you have no idea how wrong you are :|


Read above :/

I think this should be Det. Spencer's theme song.
Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies; Glass Armonica
Don't worry, the link is safe.

Ok you apparently didn't get the message. There is no good kind of wh*re(which from now on I'm gonna replace the term with perfectionist). Being a perfectionist is a good and bad thing. but it certainly isn't always good. perfectionists will no doubt typically do the best job of certain things...but they spend too much time analyzing all the things that don't count. And anyway, Spencer you aren't a perfectionist...you're OCD. and yes, there is a difference(even though both are kinda bad...). remember, Pardis is a perfectionist. so please...do yourself a favor and NEVER call compare yourself to her by calling yourself a perfectionist.

Wait, lemme clarify before I get Bold fonted at.

Not bleh to what you just said, bleh to all the stuff that has happened to me as of recently. For one thing, my sudden lack of inspiration to write anything, my family tragedies, and that awful video which I have lost sleep over (I won't go into details. But it's not porn. Alt should know what I mean).

So in conclusion...

bleh.

I'd say that being a perfectionist is a good thing if you're a real perfectionist.

Because real perfectionists try to make stuff as perfect as possible, and spending too much time analyzing the small details would mean that the more important details go unnoticed, lowering the quality of the victim of perfectionism. Being a true perfectionist is good, but you have to be able to pull off perfectionism well.

And I wouldn't consider that true - it is not an intrinsically evil word, though the usage of it has lent it an evil connotation - I would consider it meaning someone who heavily indulges in something, and heavily indulging in perfection isn't bad at all. The term is a bit, erm, awkward, but there isn't anything wrong with embodying the denotation of being a 'erfection wh*re.'

Reminds me of yesterday when my Art 1 teacher told the class she was an art prostitute.

Dammit! Guys, can you take this to your profiles?

I'm irritable right now. I don't want to read your arguments about the phrase I coined. So no offense to either of you, but either drop it, or take it somewhere else.

Please.

Just keep in mind that this is the art forum, so there is bound to be offtopicness in pretty much every thread.

No prob, I guess. I'm just immensely irritated right now.

Hmhm, offtopicness doesn't exist here. Just that which changes the topic for a few pages.

Which is still technically offtopicness...

But you get the point. Or not. Whatever.

I dunno. I'm too sickened at the world to even think about that right now.
