I'm not entirely sure what exactly is likable about my writing, or you mean by "well-rounded," but since you seem cool, I'll assume it's a compliment rather than a shot about how much I weigh or something.
I've considered visiting Tracy to bug the hell out of her, but I have some obstacles I'd have to evercome first (including but not limited to: a lack of funds, terrible navigational skills, terrible people skills, and schedule conflicts). Still, it'd be awesome if I could ever get up there.
i like your writing because it's honest. one thing you *don't* do is fuck around, and i appreciate that. by "well-rounded," i mean that there's actual dimension to your character . . . and when it comes to lj, you don't just use it to whine, advertise, bitch-n-moan (or tell sad stories about people, like i do), or do any one or two things consistently. you just say what you have to say and click "submit," and that's pretty cool. so of course it's a compliment . . . y'know. you have a brain. :-D
i completely dig the obstacles, man . . . but don't worry about your people skills. most of us folks are a little odd there, i think . . . and that's part of why we all get along so well. i'm terrifically shy, actually . . . and sometimes it's just *excruciating* for me to try to walk into a room--not because i'm nervous or anything, but because i feel like i have to cram myself into a category.
wow. if that makes sense *at all.*
anyway. sell something on ebay and come visit. we'll help you navigate. i know you'll get somewhere eventually if you just start driving. :-D
Oh, believe me, I used to use it to bitch. That was the reason I signed up. Took me a year to stop with that shit and get where I am today. When I readthe old stuff, I want to punch myself in the neck. I'd have deleted it all, but Tracy won't let me (so I just hid it from anyone who hadn't already read it).
And reading your stories that you have...I don't know how to say it...virtually any word I use is going to make me look like an idiot, so I'll just say I read your stuff.
Hehe...if you're as shy as I am, then meeting each other may not do much good. We'd just sit there and stare at each other the whole time. I rarely talk to people unless I'm in an incredibly good mood and I know the person well.
And I've got a job lined up, so a trip this summer may actually be feasible. If I do end up going to Wisconsin, I garauntee I'll make you aware.
nah, never delete your old writing. i still have my old, terrible, bottom-of-the-barrel, worst-of-the worst poetry. from, like, 6th grade. about boys. boys i had crushes on. with all sorts of euphemisms for heartbreak. ::GAGS:: i kept 'em so i can remember never *ever* to get that cheesy ever again, ever, under any circumstances. so if you think your bitch-writing is that awful, keep it and use it as a lesson. :-)
And reading your stories that you have...I don't know how to say it...virtually any word I use is going to make me look like an idiot, so I'll just say I read your stuff. i'm not entirely sure what you mean by that. go ahead and find a word; you won't look dumb. it'll help me figure out what you're talking about. :-D besides, feedback = good. helps me figure out if i should keep going with this stuff or just shut up altogether. :-)
i doubt we'd just stare at each other. i'm very good at getting the hell away from smalltalk, which is the devil. i joke a lot when i'm shy/uneasy, so there'll either be a lot of giggling or a lot of eyerolling going on. who can tell?
yes! you must come to wisconsin when you can. we shall have fun. much craziness will ensue. :-)
Well, when I read your stories I remain quite interested throughout the entire thing. I was going to say that I enjoy reading your stuff, but that would imply that I derive some sort of sick pleasure from sad stories.
I just plain don't talk (although I'm getting better at it), so as long as you can keep up a conversation until I were to relax, I'm sure it'd be fine.
And I'm thinking about this Wisconsin trip more and more, now.
heh, i know you're not getting off on the misery of any of the people involved in my stories . . . but i'm glad you like to read 'em. my current epic is still in the works, but once i get some chronolgy issues worked out (i can't remember events clearly sometimes), it'll be out there for the world to see. :-)
don't just *think* about wisconsin--c'mon down! (as i invite you to tracy's house without even asking her about it.) it'll be cool. :-D
