Okay, time for a ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
redbrunja update.
I talked with my English teacher, and she is letting me retake the midterm, except I'm only writing about 2 pages (one from two separate comics) instead of seven. Most satisfying phrase I've heard lately: "I was really surprised to see your essay - I've had you before, I know you're an A student."
Next biospysch test is a week away, and I'm not too panicked at the moment. And I'm comforting myself that once I put that bad boy in the ground, I'll only have one test left. (Latest from the annals of sweet-god-this-teacher sucks: when I'm in your office hours and ask you one simple question, telling me to read the textbook, which I have already read, is unhelpful and assholish. It becomes freaking moronic when the answer to my question isn't in the freaking text book.)
This Sunday, I finished getting everything I needed for my Suki cosplay as well as some other (expensive) errands (pocketbook: *screaming in pain*).
I spent the afternoon and evening (between essays) getting my ff.net profile current (there are still a large part of my fics that are not uploaded, but that is because they're a.) smutty or b.) short, and after all the hoops I have to jump through to get one fic posted, it's only worth doing for my longer pieces.)
[Warning: rampant whining ahead] This lead to me thinking about the sad, sad state of my reviews, and how I try very hard to entice readers to see my work, and I like to think I spin a good yarn, and then about all those barely-spell-checked, characterization is like nails-on-chalkboard fics that have, like, 300+ reviews, and damn, but I want that, and then it gets even more depressing when I see both bad fics and wonderful fics getting those numbers, and I really really want them. It's even more aggravating to look at my hit counter, and think of all the people who read and didn't care enough to comment (and don't get me started on those people who favorite and don't comment - I only do that sometimes, and never when a fic has under 10 reviews.) Seriously, do you know how many reviews I would have if a seventh of the people who looked/read/clicked on my fic actually bothered to say 'I liked it' or 'I hated it'? So this gets me into a very yelling at the universe, "You’ve always thrown everything you could at me! Well I can take it!" headspace.
And now....
MEMES!
Comment and I'll give you a letter. (I was given "K")
- List 10 things you love that begin with that letter.
- Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
Five reasons a character you have a crush on/find attractive would be a bad boyfriend or girlfriend in real life.
Also, I know I'm way, way behind on comment - hopefully I'll be catching up throughout the week.
