Rambling Numero Tres
Or however it's spelled. Today something weird happened to me. I went to the mailbox at the end of my street and when I got back, the door was locked. I didn't lock it, so I didn't have my keys to get back in. So here I am, standing on the porch freezing my ass off and banging on the door so Rick, my husband, who's asleep upstairs to come let me in. I had to stand there shivering for about 15 minutes before he finally came and opened the door. The dogs are going crazy and jumping on the door and I'm freezing and beating on the door. I was so happy to be getting back into the warm house I forgot to be pissed he took so long to answer the door. I must remember to yell at him later for it. I went a lil icon wacky today, as you can tell. I need to find other styles of doing them. You can get really intricate with brushes, effects and pictures, etc, and mine seem kind of plain in comparison to some I've been seeing here. I was looking around LJ today for people that share my love of wrestling fic, but the interest here seems kind of lacking. I've been writing wrestlefic for I know 5 years or longer and it seems like it's dying off. When I first started, it was huge, even bigger than Buffy fic, but now Buffy fic is bigger than wrestlefic. I remember a time when my inbox was completely stuffed with feedback for my fictions and now I'm lucky to get 3 or 4 pieces of it a week. Hell, some weeks I don't get any. *shakes head* I think wrestling graphics is bigger than wrestling fiction now. Or maybe the fans have gotten lazy and don't want or feel the need to write it or leave feedback for it anymore for those that do write it. I guess the waning interest mirrors the bleh product we're given every week. Without inspiration there is no fanworks. Why take so long and dedicate yourself to doing something that's they feel is mediocre? I know I haven't watched a Smackdown in about 3 or 4 months, if longer, and I used to never, ever miss a show. Or a PPV, now I don't order any PPVs at all. But a lot of my interest walked out the door along with Chris Jericho when he left last year. I miss him terribly. :'( A lot of my favorites are gone now. Chris is gone. The Rock is gone. Trish is gone. And recently, Lita left. I sometimes feel like asking 'who's next?' Is Triple H, another one of my favorites, going to announce his retirement next? I sure as hell hope not. If it wasn't for him, Jeff Hardy, John Cena and Randy Orton, I don't think I would watch it at all. That's sad. Very sad. Ok, I'm done, I think. :)
