I posted a comment on a friend's journal that was so long, I thought I'd post it here as it's own entry. By "the same thing," I'm referring to a tendency to complain about having to write about something. In writing.

You win Nano! :D
And you know, I'm doing the same thing. I have to write an economics paper, due like maybe tomorrow, and I'm finding it near impossible to keep it from turning into a history report because history is cool, yo, and you can't just write about WWII's economy in America without also writing about it's economic causes and effects elsewhere, and also leading up to it, both in America and elsewhere, and there were so MANY things that contributed to WWII breaking out, and they all happened at once or in close succession, but you can't write about everything all at once or it would look like this:

The Germany got Austria all up in China's grill in 1918, the Nazi party was a foothold in the League of Nations, who sat around picking Manchuria's nose, when the Japanese Mussolini assimilated the Treaty of Versailles, then 1929 war guilt happened, and fascist Italy was Chancellor in 1933, and Germany got the shaft, restored to a happier, more carefree Great Depression, which helped catalyze Herbert Hoover, but was still reeling from Hitler's charisma, and people died.

No, you have to write about things one by one, but then it sounds stupid and not at all concurrent, like this: WWI happened, leaving America happy, prosperous, and confident, while the rest of the world floundered tumultuously. Herbert Hoover traveled the world, trying to befriend other nations, but the stage had been set for another global conflict as early as the tail end of the first global conflict. Nazis happened in 1918, Germany was reeling from WWI and it's war debts, on top of the "war guilt" of the Treaty of Versailles, Japen was getting all up in China's grill by setting up a foothold in Manchuria, eventually attacking deep within China, but that comes later. First, the Great Depression happened, and it spilled into Europe, making Germany even more emo until Hitler rose in power by saying, "Don't kill yourself, Germany; kill everyone else!" Also, Mussolini took over Italy, and Germany assimilated Austria, and the League of Nations sat around picking their noses over it. Then WWII happened, partly because of the Great Depression, but also because of all that other stuff. And more stuff I didn't mention.

See, that's retarded, and there's no way to organize it into a non-retarded series of simultaneous events.

And instead of writing my paper, I'm complaining about writing my paper.

- ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (guess who biotch!)

Also, I just noticed that not a word of all that blither has anything to do with economics.
