Writer's Block: Single pride day

Given that we're less than a week out from Valentines, how do you feel about the approaching holiday? Will you participate or abstain? If you're not in a relationship, how will you celebrate your single status?

Uhhhhhh I might write something shippy. Actually, that's a good idea. I think I'll do that. I need to learn to write non-angsty romance.

I'm single and not really interested in a relationship with anyone at this point in my life (I just don't feel ready for the commitment), but Valentine's Day doesn't make me sad. On the contrary, it makes me happy for all the couples I know! (I also generally get a box of chocolates from my parents, so I like that part a lot too.)

1. Reply to this post with 'ICONS!', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!



Ahh, T-Rex. How I love you! I can't remember which Dinosaur Comic this comes from, but it makes me laugh.



Amanda Palmer, from the music video for Oasis. Hilarious video--I'd recommend it.



John Flansburgh ("Flansy") of TMBG, in the video for The Statue Got Me High. Not much more to say about that.

Writer's Block: Promises, promises

What, if any, resolutions did you make in 2009 and how many did you keep? Do you plan to make any resolutions for 2010? Do you find this tradition constructive or debilitating?


View 583 Answers


I'll be completely honest, guys.

My resolution this year was to lose my virginity.

Needless to say, that didn't really pan out. Like, at all.

I have two resolutions for 2010. My first one is to clean my damn room. My second one is to be less whiny and cheer up a little.

Wish me luck.

Writer's Block: Reflections

What are your fondest memories of 2009? What were the low points? All told, what were the most significant events of 2009? Do you wish you could do it all over again?


View 1212 Answers


HIGH POINTS
-Vancouver. Just...Vancouver. In general.
-Switching schools.
-Getting significantly better at drawing.
-Turning 16.
-Getting that editing job.
-Christmas.
-Sean and Mashi getting together. I couldn't possibly be happier for you guys.


LOW POINTS
-All the crap I've had to endure from Nick and his "friends".
-My 16th birthday party. 3 people came. Most depressing sweet 16 bash ever.
-My grandpa's death.
-The breakdown of some of my friends' friendships with each other.
-Sean and Kate breaking up. I know it wasn't meant to be and the relationship wasn't going to work out, but it was still sad.
-My various emotional breakdowns.

Overall, with the exception of some events, I don't think I'd do it over again.

Writer's Block: Take this job and shove it ...

Have you ever walked off a job on the spot? What drove you to it? Did you regret it afterwards?

Submitted By [info]hisensei808


View 885 Answers


Not a job, no, but I have walked out of classrooms when the teachers said something cruel or offensive.

Another example would be a seminar I was forced to attend at summer camp in 2007, when I was 14. The guy up there started rambling about homosexuality being a choice and how it was oh-so-terrible and how it's right up there with heroin addiction in terms of sheer horror. I was so offended that I just got up and stormed out.

I have no regrets about any of this.

Not sure about movie characters, honestly. But I'd totally hang out with Elly, though. I think we'd get along pretty well.

Writer's Block: Name that tune

Is there any song you'll never grow tired of hearing? If so, what is it, how long have you loved it, and why?

Submitted By [info]connxx

THIS IS THE EASIEST FUCKING WRITER'S BLOCK EVER.

The End Of The Tour by They Might Be Giants. I first heard it in December of 2005. I know that because I got my first iPod for Christmas that year, and John Henry (the album the song is on) was the first thing I bought on iTunes. (I have since purchased a physical copy as well.)

It's just the most amazing song I've ever heard. The lyrics are beautiful and emotional, the tune is catchy, the instrumentation is perfect, and John Linnell's voice is, as always, fucking amazing. It had a play count of nearly 4000 on my old computer; on my current computer, it has 245 plays, in comparison to my second most-played song (Jack Off Jill's cover of Love Song, originally by The Cure), which has 134 plays. That should give you some idea of how much I adore it. it also happens to fit my otp perfectly but i'm not gonna go into that because i wouldn't be able to shut up

So yeah, The End Of The Tour (or TEOTT, as I tend to abbreviate it...seeing as how I mention it a LOT) is definitely worth listening to over and over. It's been my favorite song for nearly four years, and I can't see myself growing tired of it any time soon.

L
isten to it if you haven't. It's only 3 minutes and 18 seconds long (it's sad that I have that memorized), so it's not like it'll take a huge chunk of time, and it's totally worth it.

Writer's Block: Book worms unite!

What are the three best books you have ever read and what are the three worst? What made them so good or bad?

Submitted By [info]crazylove16


View 1110 Answers



Best: This is a bit of a cop-out, but probably all three of John Green's novels.

If you really want me to choose three novels by unique authors:

1. Paper Towns by John Green. It had the perfect balance of romance, comedy, and angst, and the ending got me teary-eyed.

2. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (the first one) by Douglas Adams. Does this one even need an explanation?

3. Probably Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It's another one of those books that always makes me choked up...I need to read it again sometime, it's been a while.

Worst: Honestly, I've read a lot of bad books, but here's three, in no particular order.

1. The True Confessions Of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. I read this book in sixth grade because the plot looked interesting, but it turned out to be one of the most unrelentingly boring books I've ever had the displeasure of reading.

2. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Now, to be fair, it probably doesn't belong on my Worst list--I found it really addictive, and something of a fun read--but the fans are idiots and Bella and Edward's relationship is downright disturbing.

3. The Wild Kid by some person whose name I'm too lazy to look up. This one might also work on the Best list, since it's kind of so bad it's good. Basically, this kid with Down's Syndrome gets lost in the forest somehow and winds up surviving because of this kid who's been living in the forest for some time. It's poorly written and stupid to the point that you almost wonder if the author wrote it as some kind of elaborate joke. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh at really bad writing, but that's about it.

Either Christmas or Halloween. Christmas means free stuff and an excuse to send goodies to friends, but Halloween means you get to cosplay and no one thinks you're weird for it. Also, free candy from strangers.
