So this was spurred on by the post recent GREAT chlollie pic. I'm dying. I feel like a tween waiting for her favorite couple to make out, not mother and wife with responsibilities. =) Which kind of led me to a though. I haven't been with my husband very long. Six and a half years. I'm 27. But he has NO idea what I really write about. I mean he knows I write stories, and he kind of knows Smallville, but that's it. He kind of makes me antsy f he gets to close to my monitor. He wouldn't make fun of me, but I still feel a bit silly. So today he was like 'Can't you just get off the computer for once' and I'm thinking nooooo way. Of course he asks why and I don't want to tell him that I'm just this crazy fangirl that enlarges pictures to see every bit of Oliver in that picture of Chloe shooting the arrow. He gets sooooo annoyed at how much I'm on the computer at night and how much late I stay on. I mean is it really that bad to like something so much? I like to write.
When I was a bit younger I started college with the intention to write, then I realized I wasn't that great at it, so now I'm a planner (urban planner, not like party planner lol). But you know I enjoy it. It's kind of like an escape for me, writing what I want. What else can you create so many possibilities with? I kind of hate it when you come across authors that are dead set against people creating fiction based off of their stories. It almost kind of puts me off to reading that authors story. Which is why I LOVE JK Rowling. She encourages it, and that is very admirable of her. That shows you she really understand to be regular person wanting to write. that she can actually feel flattery at someone wanting to use her ideas and not feel like she has been stolen from. None of us make money off of this, we just enjoy it. If I wanted money then I would have finished my English major.
As it happened though I was a shitty English major. I wrote horrible papers. I never put commas in the right spot and misspell things all the time. on top of it whenever my teacher wanted me to break down a particular short story or poem I was always wrong. It never failed. I never perceived it the right way. It wasn't until I was failing my Shakespeare class that I realized I sucked at it. Every week the teacher would give us four lines of a play to break down and describe what it meant in a couple of paragraphs. According to him I was always wrong. It wasn't for lack of trying. I guess I was just to stupid in his opinion to get it correct. Of course I'd rather be to stupid then be an ugly little midget with a nasty comb over. Bleh. I'd love for him to come through our planning department so I could tell him to take his site plans and shove them. He didn't succeed in teaching me anything, but sure did help in making me drop out that semester. Well and I was failing Spanish. Planning degrees don't require Spanish though thanks god. Oh and well, it didn't help that I was going out five nights a week. Did you know how easy it is to find ladies night every day of the week in New Orleans. EASY. I screwed up, but looking back on it now, he was still an ass. I hope he lost all his hair.
So my intention of this rant was a question, if anyone even read this or got this far. Do yall tell your other family members or friends about your crazy ship obsession? Whether it's just being interested in it and posting, or making fanvids, or fanart, or fanfiction.
