Nice.
I forgot how much I loved Sundays in this country- it's like, I wake up and the sun somehow gets in my room, even with the blinds and curtains closed, and it gets through at such an angle that I wake up seeing it, but I'm not in it and I like that. I like watching it move across the room, and I like getting up and having the time to step into all the warm spots on the floor. Sometimes if I'm up late enough (which is usual) I get to hear lawnmowers which just sounds so....normal and tra-la-la. What I want know is why everyone cuts the grass on a sunday afternoon? Around here anyway, apart from old reliables across the street who do not fail in their saturday early evening ritual of cutting the grass. I believe that's followed by washing the car (so that it's nice and shiny for the church outing the next morning)- that's generally why it's so lovely and quiet on sunday morning- everyone's either asleep or at church or in my family's case- out gardening. Sunday I get woken my clattering of tools, laughing cos one of them has tripped up or broken something, or an argument about where one of them put something....it's nice.
DA is annoying me a little. Some of the older members are getting a bit of a superiority complex, they think that because they've been writing longer they have the right to diss the newer members who go for the subjects of suicide and cutting, and the funny thing is, they don't look back at their first works, which were...oh yes..suicide, unhappiness, death blood and razors. It seems to me that some of them like their writing to sound good, but have no emotional quality- big words in big sentences kinda like Cicero but with no rhetoric. And then feel they have the right to judge the newbies who are just finding out that they can write about how they feel- that in itself is a huge realisation. And noone should be stomping on their parade me thinks.
I hate that "death, suicide and misery" is pretty much mocked now, alot of people forget that it may be a relatively new emotion for some people- you get the superiors rolling their eyes and sayin "yeah yeah yeah, I've heard all that before, tell me something new"- but for some of the ones writing, it is new. and scary and mind-blowing. Perhaps those ones that are so superior have forgotten just how much of oneself goes into writing. I've been reading on DA (obviously) and some of these DA oldies are dismissing the new writers, and yet their writing is basically nice sounding but with no real punch, like an alco-pop. tastes sweet for a while, then sickening, but has no real effect (except if you're kinky bells). That's depressing. I'm reading and wondering what are you feeling when you're writing this, or are you just sitting there with a thesaurus looking for the biggest most fantastical word?
Rant over. There is nothing like the sunday afternoon feel good movie- I'd be embarrassed to watch it with anyone because I make silly faces and clap at the screen. It would be really bad for my image.
mmmm sunday dinner. Tradition is good.
