silversolitaireOkay, what happened today? I got a ticket for parking incorrectly. Dammit! My boss was being a real bitch again. I'm seriously considering looking for another job. It's driving me insane. Of couse I'm not doing my best, because I hate this job! This is in no way related to what I ever want to do. Why should I care to learn and perform well? And I don't like to be treated unfairly. Granted, I was running late for work again today. And today, for once, I wasn't able to make up for it by staying in longer, since I had to prepare for a presentation. BUT I had stayed in for an hours just a week ago! I've worked one full day more than I have to! And have I taken that time off? NO! But still she yells at me that I'll have to make up for it, if I come in late all the time (ALL THE TIME!!!!). Why does she never notice when I work overtime, eh? From now on I will write down every fucking minute I'm in that stinking office. And I'll slap it in her face should she dare to tell me again I was being a lazy sod!
Okay... breathe... calm down...
On a lighter note, my presentation on Hamlet's Soliloquies was a full success. My professor was really pleased and said I was being a natural and it was so nice to listen to and all that. Phewy. I was already fearing I could perform badly since I was the second presentation that day. I feared the class to be bored and unattentive. But that wasn't the case. As a matter of fact, the others sucked royally, that way I only had to win! *_* As if that has been some kind of competition anyway... welll... I just disagreed with their interpretation of Hamlet in many ways. It's their good right to think that, though.
I sorta wish I had finished and posted my entry on Hamlet before I entered this class. Because now my head is full of theories and scholars' teachings, I can't even tell what my initial reading of "To be or not to be" had been. Too bad...
I started a discussion group on Shakespeare and the homoerotic contents of his work! Woohoo! *_*
And the by far coolest thing happening to me since yesterday is that I finally dared it and posted on fanfiction.net! I was expecting the worst flaming, but it wasn't all that bad, actually. To be honest, so far I didn't receive a flame that really pissed me off. I could live with the few that said that they think it's yucky. But the majority of those who feedbacked liked it! Oooh, that made me feel so nice. The funny thing is, you can see the statistics of your stories. You can see how many people read your stories. I was amazed at the resukts. o_O Hardly believable!
This is about the funniest "flame" I got (that wasn't no flame at all, IMO): "You know way too much about this gay s**t. Why don't you write something straight?" ROFL. Isn't that funny? hehehe
What I found really flattering was this one: "ok that was well writenbut it was still realy yuky" IMO, this is a really honest and sincere comment. Idon't mind anyone saying it's yucky, as long as they stay objective. I mean, I could even stomach it, if they rightfully critizised my stories. I just don't like flames. Who does? ^_^ But well, I know friends who actually want the flames! LOL
And that one was about 'Lustful Beasts': "It's really rare to see an NC-17 fic with true character development and an actual plot... and this is one of those few. I can't wait to read the next part, hurry and post it already :-)" That't true, actually. LB has a really nice storyline, I think that, too! ^_^
I think this is the only possibility to really get some feedback or readers at all. You must shock them. I mean, look at ff.net, it's huge! More than 10.000 HP fic for Chrissakes! Almost impossible to be noticed!
Well, that was a nice experience though. I keep waiting for the really mean and hurtful flame... *shiver*
