discontent: the first step in the progress of a man or a nation...

[txorakeriak]

Things that annoy me these days (in no particular order):

• the snow. The weather doesn't seem to care much about the fact that winter is over. No, it brings us snow, storms and temperatures around -2°C with a dedication that is exemplary. I'm so fed up with it. When there's just a thin layer of snow on the streets, people suddenly forget everything

I actually think your Discontent List is pretty nifty; getting to realise wxactly what's bothering you can be useful, I suppose. And I agree with most of these! The weather (will it ever stop being so cold?!), picfics (looked at one because everyone was squeeing about it, thought 'so what?'), and the rest of the nonsense that's plaguing the footie fandom and makes me distance myself from it everyday a bit more

Hehe, when I found that Oscar Wilde quote which I then used for my subject line, I felt a lot more optimistic about the whole thing. XD I guess sometimes you just need to vent a bit, and everything's a bit less bleak afterwards. :D

[txorakeriak]

Hahaha, I hope the quote was correct! I do remember you saying something like that, but I don't remember your exact words. Ah well, you're right anyway. I miss the good old days, too. I guess that when people get too comfortable around each other in a fandom, their effort ceases sometimes because they no longer have to impress everyone and mistakes are forgiven more quickly. Sad but true.

Oh, did I? I don't remember, but I'm glad you were happy about it! You never know how people react to concrit, so I appreciate this a lot! Thank you! :)

We still need to write that fic about Iker and McShagger, remember? I may fail epically at writing down my ideas (*facepalm*) but I haven't forgotten about it! ;)

By the way, it's so good to see you here. I missed you! *HUGS* Hope everything's fine with you and your guy! :D

I think my comments always get way too long when I'm talking to you...so, ready

[txorakeriak]

Haha, I'm always ready for long comments! It might take me ages to reply to them because I fail at time management, but that doesn't mean I don't love getting long comments. XD

LOL, I've heard about the HP fandom minions. And about minions in all kinds of other fandoms. They simply don't understand that people who give constructive criticism aren't doing this for fun, but because they want to help. They don't realise that writing constructive feedback takes a lot more time than a one-line squee comment, and is, therefore, infinitely more valuable. I pity them, really.

I told someone that the hospital scenes were off in a fic and the response was "I didn't do research, because I don't care much about it" That's exactly what I mean. People don't care enough. And I should not feel insulted when someone pushes a fic in my face and at the same time tells me they don't really care about it? Why, then, should I care to read it

[metalnurse]

no, no, our "relationship" is fine

I shall write you AOS fic! ^_^ so glad to know it's not dead to you yet! (hopefully the quality of my fiction has gone up since I was what...fourteen and started writing here?)

But god! When I friended you, I didn't complain when you didn't friend me back (most of my f locked posts are rl anyways...) And even when you do post something football related,(which was not what introduced us) It's not my most favorite thing in the world, but it's still interesting to me. A little window into European culture, as it were.

Espeically the pic spam. Omg...the pic spam...gay men know how to pick 'em *drools*

[txorakeriak]

OMG! That would be all kinds of awesome if you did! :D

[txorakeriak]

An RPG would be a good solution - then the stuff would stay in circles where it's appreciated and I wouldn't have to see it. Then again, it wouldn't be a particularly good RPG because those are based on good characterisation... ;)

I still adore Hornblower to bits. And I do remember seeing your name in the fandom! It always amuses me so much when I meet people in different fandoms. XD

I dislike pic fics. I thought maybe I was the only one who did. I like at least a little plot not just funny things they think are funny, you know?

Also, thank you for telling me about Sese. I honestly thought it was one of his nicknames. Iggy I knew wasn't, who wants to be called Iggy, I mean really? But I honestly thought Sese was. I will make sure and keep it out of my fics from now on.

I am so glad Spanish is coming so well for you! So many people have issues and it is great that you are learning it. :D

[motsdesoie]

It's unbearable. Even more so because they only apply in English. I really, really can't stand it. If they need to use a different name he already has Pipita!

It's the same with things like Casillass, or that retard thing going on of calling Raúl and Guti, Padre y Madre, I mean come on.

[mer5]

(xD que raro se me va a hacer escribirte en inglés pero si no creo que Bill no va a pillar nada)

Casillass is retarded and not funny at all, but then I don't understand why fandom has decided Cesc Fabregas is a little kid on a sugar high or a teenage girl. *shrugs*

¿Padre y Madre? What the fucking hell? I think I know where that comes from and for fuck's sake it was an AU where all were queens. You can't adopt that!.
Also Guti and Madre in the same sentence made me think in Madre as in a nun. Sor Guti xDD. I need holidays and now.
