I am just mad so every thing bugs. If I can lose the anger soon, I think I'll have to start some martial art or fight class type thing again, when I have no idea.

msbelle - how about a trade?

Well, I don't know if writers owe their publics anything, Barb, but I did kind of find Stephenie Meyers post-leak flounceoff kind of ungracious...

Well, that was just ridic, in my opinion. I don't blame her for being hacked that someone leaked her preciousssss, but the public flounce-off was just ridiculously unprofessional and high school drama queen.

That post, however, smacked of, "And while you're at it, get down on your knees and blow me with a smile on your face."

To paraphrase the divine Gaiman, "a writer ain't your bitch."

And the part about how having a fan rewrite your novel is the height of flattery just made me want to grind my teeth. Fan-fiction is one thing-- groovy, rock on, I just don't need to see it, for a variety of reasons, some of which are legal. But rewriting? NSM with the flattery.

msbelle, you have my ear should you need it.

msbelle, maybe a bath? Or earphones on and some really angry music to jump around to?

it's ok. he's watching tv and I'm on the computer. plus he's watching a cartoon where one of the characters is being a royal brat - the parallels are even clear to him.

I'm watching Walk the Line on tv (I've seen it before,) and I know Roseanne Cash and her sibs weren't happy with how it portrayed their mom, but honestly, Viv comes off as someone he really did do wrong and not at all unsympathetic. I feel bad for her.

I was just telling my mom how bad I felt for Johnny Cash's first wife from that movie (I am watching, too). I mean, I love Johnny and June, but poor Vivian.

Zactly.

So, I'm going on this grad school alumni outing tomorrow, and now my friend who had also signed up is bailing. Because she "still has stuff to deal with in the new apartment." That they moved into a month ago. Annoying! I'll still go, but I was looking forward to seeing her.
