Figuring out this bloggin business
Well, it's the first time I've have a blog, but I guess it's a good thing since it's a place I can rant on about anything without worrying that I'll annoy everyone. My sister told me that's kind of the reason why I don't make friends easily; she says I often feel like talking only about myself...
But then again, I never had anyone to talk to about my feelings. How I feel about my parents, how I think my childhood made me as annoying as
I am today, my favourite movies or video game music, why I feel the need to write things the European way even though I lived in the U.S all of my life so far...
I guess that's why I joined the 9 pchat. My closest friends were artist-types, so I thought I would fit in. Unfortunately, I might have not used enough self-control, so I think I came off as a bit whiny about my 1 (maybe 2) oc's. Seriously, how can everyone else come up with quickly-accepted-into-fanon oc's? It makes me uncomfortable! And the way they make them....it goes against what I learned as an engineer!
Basically, throwing in small, random, good ideas is the right way to make an excellent product (or character, whatever), but that's only for brainstorming. The bad thing to do in an engineering project is to accept the first idea and go with it. That's the way I feel it's done at the pchat (do artists make things a different way? No wonder I feel like I don't fit in!) is too rushed, like this:
-Hey! Here's a doodle I drew! Let's go with it!
-Sure! Any backstory?
-Um...kind of. I don't know, I made this up a minute ago. Can we keep him?
-Sure! He's now a character in our fanon! Let's make up decent ideas for him, hoping that he'll be developed enough!
No offense, but I feel really annoyed with that. In comparison, any original character I create, whether for a fandom or my own universe, has to have a personality and a roughly structured background-story I can build off of as time goes on. This is why I only have two for the pchat fanon verse. I once compared the rate in which everyone else make characters to the way 5 and 7 (in the fanon) made babies all of the time.
Oh, boy, I'll probably not be accepted into the pchat group...
At least I'll be able to communicate my sentiments to the others in a more complex form than chatboxes. Plus, I won't feel depressed when no one reads my comments on the chat!
Even though I know this journal will not appeal to a lot of people, I just want to start having someone to talk to, even if it's imaginary friends on a computer.
