i think i did a really bad thing to my friend. but i didnt mean to. i was irritated at her because i always listen to her guy problems, and try to help her look at the bright side, but she listens to mine and then tells me "oh fuck him he isnt good enough for you." i've been told in the past that shes trying to manipulate me, and she messed up a good thing with one of my customers. but i still shouldnt have told the girls what i did. it wasn't my place. just because she hasnt been a great friend doesnt mean i should act the same. :-[

-The club was busybusy last night. Which is good, since tonight will probably gargle llama balls.

-I'm a little sniffly. I'm starting my echinacea/goldenseal/vitamin C regimen. My GM has been sick, and he thought he had strep, but the culture came back negative. Now he feels all run down and wants to go back to the doc to see if maybe he has mono or something. So, no more passionate tongue kissing until he knows I guess.

-I have to take 2 cats to the vet in 45 minutes. I should get dressed. Today we find out if old man cat is going to need insulin, or if the oral meds have dropped his blood sugar levels enough. Yay.

Why did I even get out of bed this morning? EVEN MY HOROSCOPE told me to just stay home and don't try to face the world today:

"You usually find that you're eager to meet new people or to get out there into the world, but right now you'd rather spend time on your own or at home with the family. You've got some thinking to do. "

Ok, yall. It's just me and the zoo. I don't have any energy for anything else. :crying:

Fuck. I just told K a stupid obvious lie for absolutely no reason and of course it was an obvious lie and he called me on it. I NEVER lie. I am one of the most forthright people on the planet. I have no idea why I did it and I feel so incredibly awful right now. I'm humiliated and I feel sick to my stomach. He still loves me anyway and he's letting me off the hook, but I feel poisoned right now. Why the hell did I do that? I had no reason to lie, I just did. :-[

Do people really lie like this on a regular basis? How? This actually hurts.

So I'm sitting in the chair at my nail salon getting a fill. I'm sipping my margarita and wondering why no one told me they give free ones before, then suddenly it hits me. I'm surrounded by asians who barely speak a word of English, but they all have names like Shelly (my nail tech) or Angela or Brittney. It's like the nail techs have stripper names, too!!! :) Or perhaps I should have stopped at the second margarita cuz they made 'em strong and I'm tipsy now! Woo hoo!

Woman up. Admit outright "yeah that was pretty dumb, huh? Don't know what I was thinking." You and he will laugh about it and I bet you'll feel way better. K seems to be pretty freakin awesome, he's not going to hold something like that against you and you know it.

Now if there was a reason you lied, then it might be good to think about that, but otherwise just laugh it off, learn and move on. That's my 2c.

There was no reason at all. I've never done that before and I don't know why I did it now. It just came out. I pretty much did what you said and I apologized over and over until he told me to knock it off. He told me to forget about it and not to do it again, and to have fun at the party tonight, and that he loves me and can't wait to see me again on Saturday. I told him there's no way I'll do it again now that I know how much it hurt and sickened me this time. I just feel so ashamed of myself... but yeah, he's not holding it against me. He's so awesome. And of course that just makes me feel worse for having told such a stupid, useless lie to him.

I guess we'll just have to move on from it and hopefully I'll feel better by the time I see him again. But I just feel like I've been poisoned.

Heh. I'm going up to see him on Saturday and while I was apologizing he said, "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of your punishment when you get up here." And yeah, that would help me feel better!

Unfortunately he's out of town and has been for weeks, so argh. This just has to fester for another few days, or hopefully blow over. I just wish I knew why I did that.

I swear to god, I'm gonna scream. the dog next door has been barking nonstop for 3 hours. I want to go to bed. I tried to go to sleep. but all I can hear is woofwoofwoofwoof
Nobody is home at the house. all the lights are dark.

There are many things I miss about being in the city and that is NOT one of them. I remember one year when i lived down-town In the gayborhood i came home from an all weekend camping trip. I had barely slept at all and all i wanted was my bed. I get dropped off at my apartment that was unbeknown to be smack in the middle of the gay pride parade. Lucky for me the stage and Dj was right below my window.:'( :-\ I remember laying in bed hearing, "come on boys line up, its time for the penis bagel eating contest, No hands". :O For some reason that line has stuck in my head all these years. Anyway now we live in the woods with the closest neighbor 9 acres away and all i hear at night is bugs and my husband snoring.

Ugh. I'm so pissed off and frustrated right now. I've NEVER read "The Golden Compass" but I just watched the trailer and my jaw hit the floor. It looks like I'm going to have to seriously overhaul my Nanowrimo story and completely scrap another story I'd been working on because of freakin' idea crossover. I know I didn't plagiarize them, I know they didn't plagiarize me, but I can't stand the thought of writing something that's already been written.

It's like how after Harry Potter got popular, you saw all those wizard books pop up out of nowhere, and after Eragon, dragons were the new black. I think a lot of those were shamelessly pilfered ideas (and considering Eragon itself was a collection of shamelessly pilfered ideas, that's pretty sad!) and I refuse to contribute to thought crime.

But fuuuuuuuuuuuuck it makes me so angry I could cry, thinking about losing my stories because they weren't first. Fuck fuck fuck.

Rant out.

Oh no, that happened to me once. I got halfway through a decent screenplay before someone suggested I rent A Walk in the Clouds and it turned out to be the same story. And it wasn't even a good movie. It sucked.

The Golden Compass is pretty complex. Want to send me an overview of your story and I'll let you know if you have anything to worry about?

FWIW, Gone With the Wind is commonly held as one of the greatest stories of all time and it was totally ripped off from The Birth of a Nation. You never know, yours could be better.

Sh0t
11-08-2007, 03:45 PM
How did Birth of a Nation rip off Gone With the Wind?

They both take place(latter half of Gone...) during reconstruction but their storylines are pretty dramatically different.

The books are also very different. The Clansman isn't really a second-rate Gone With the Wind

Few peope say Birth of a Nation is BAD. They just hate it because of how overtly racist it is

Yekhefah
11-08-2007, 03:46 PM
No, the other way around. Margaret Mitchell ripped off D. W. Griffith, but her story wound up becoming more famous (and yeah, I'll admit, it was a little better).

And no, the story and details are extremely similar. There's no Scarlett O'Hara in Birth of a Nation, but there are a LOT of the same moments.

11-08-2007, 03:50 PM
I know the order of the books, I was just saying it's not really viewed as a low-brow GwtW.


The Clansman was written by Thomas Dixie. It formed the basis for the movie. Mitchell wrote GwtW but it was directed by David Selznick

The similarities are really just "icons" of reconstruction, IMO

I never read The Clansman, so I don't know. But I have read Gone With the Wind (Mitchell's novel) many times, and seen Griffith's Birth of a Nation many times too, and I disagree with you. I think it's an obvious ripoff. Even my grandmother, who recently saw Birth of a Nation on TCM, noticed that GWTW did some heavy borrowing.

And I still feel like shit. *sigh*

But at least I'm writing. I've got my word count up to 7000, so I'm getting caught up.

Dear Mr. Toyota FJ:

I really wanted to run you off of the side of the mountain today. It was obviously your first time on I-175 today, because you were taking the twisty mountain roads as if your precious wheels could not grip the road in shallow corners. I mean come on; the sign says 30 mph for the curve, do you really have to go 20? And hey asshole, those pullouts every 1/4 mile are there for a reason: so you can let other experienced drivers drive safely, not use their brakes every 10 feet because you can't handle the road. If you insist on taking the road at 20 mph, please be courteous and get the fuck out of my way by pulling over in a turnout, yanno, those patches of dirt every so often. That's what they're for.

I even tried to be nice. I pulled over and counted to ten slowly to give you time to get ahead of me. But less than 5 minutes later whilst doing the speed limit I still managed to catch up to you. Brakes are not required in every curve, especially going 15 mph....and would you please stay in your lane? I really don't want an accident right in front of me.

So thanks for:

1. making me use my brakes way too much. I tried to back off, but it seems the more I backed off, the slower you drove.

2. Making my usually 20 minute drive on 175 40 minutes. Yeah, after driving 8 hours, that's exactly what I want.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mazda 626
