Ranting (Myspace August16,2007)
It seems to me I like to rant. Some of it because I want people to have a chance to see who I am, but most of it, is because the world frustrates the heck out of me. I suppose it's better than letting it fester by holding it in I suppose, I mean, really, look at what I say about myself, that's been dwelling unspoken for ten or more years!
I really do not like stupid people. Not ones who can't help it, but ones who just don't try to use their brain, wanting me to spell it all out for them and still they don't get it. Blank stares are all I get. grrrrr. If you ask how can you tell between one who can help it and who can't, you can tell, trust me, there's just something there that screams they aren't using their full capacity, and I hate that. Just try people, would you? Be a little more observant, figure out somethings for yourself for once! And pay attention when you're driving!
Yes, drivers, they take all kinds of risks because they're too impatient or too macho to be carefull, and I seem to be there for too many of their shinanagins. I know I drive a little car, but it's red . . . RED, surely to god you can see it! But no, people "hop" out in front of me all the time, at least once a day. Either to cross travic or because they can't wait another second before turning into the lane in front of me. Who care if I have to slam on my brakes to avoid them, thanking whatever gods there be that I pay attention. It's even worse when there is nobody behind me, that;s like a ten second wait if that to let me go past. So I say grrrrr again.
Final rant for the night, writers, specifically, fanfiction writers. Now, I have more than a little soft spot for fanfiction, especially for my anime. It used to be that the fandom had many good writers that were farely easy to find, it was a cinch to search the internet and find websites stock full of wonderous stories . . . Not anymore. With the creation of fanfiction .net and simular databases, every tom, dick, and harry who had a whim of writing can post their pathetic little story. Before, it was mostly the ones who had a talent for it that would get their stories online, rather than buried in the margins of a bored students homework. *sighs* As much as I use fanfiction.net, I miss the old days. I want some exceptional fanfiction, some that captures me as much as professional writing can, without having to wade through the mountains of crap to find the rare gem. MadamHydra, RoseArgent, Junji, Tailweaver, Katsu, and a handfull of others, they can write, and write well, thank the gods, but it is SO hard to go beyond them.
It's partially my fault again, I suppose. After all, how can you sait the unsaitable? I am a glutton for good stories, and I get frustrated when I can't find enough . . . *shrugs* But still, I try.
