8 reasons you are cooler than me.

Sun Jul 12, 2009, 4:52 PM
Well, I haven't updated the old journal in a while, mostly 'cause so little is happening. The only news of any importance is that A Roll of the Dice returns on the 24th with an all-new storyline and twice as many cows as ever before!

Otherwise, writing has been an odd mix. A little of this, a bit of that, and nothing very serious.

Now, for the fun part. In an extremely rare occurrence, :iconhostage-fiver: tagged me with one of those Post 8 Facts about yourself tag thingies, and since I've already done one of those (and there's little enough to tell) I decided to do it in a slightly different form. They will still be factoids, but factoids proving why you, any of you really, are very likely much more hip than I am.

Let's go!

#1: I'm not into anime. There, I said it. Almost everyone anywhere near my age is into it, but not me. It's not that I dislike it, oh no, far from it, it's just that I don't have an interest in most of it. :shrug:

#2: I don't listen to much music unless it was released prior to 1993. That's not to say what I listen to is good, or that I somehow dislike all modern music, I just prefer my 80's tunes.

#3: My idea of a good way to kill an hour if I don't feel like writing is to watch old action movie trailers. And I don't mean the big budget things, I'm talking the low-budget, direct-to-video ones.

#4: I am a comic nerd. It's true. I actually like Marvel and DC. Superheroes still awaken that old sense of justice, and of the battle between good and evil when I read them.

#5: I desperately want to get The Shadow radio plays on CD. The cassette versions just don't cut it, and I demand classic pulp radio adventure to keep my day happy.

#6: I am horrifically lazy. I almost never do things on time, and I put off doing things until the very last minute.

#7: I'm a PC gamer through and through. The newest console I own is a Playstation 1. I often spend a lot of time playing old DOS games through the use of the DOSBox rather than the latest and greatest games.

#8: I have an intense obsession with pulp fiction, especially men's action novels and smutty western series. The Executioner, The Destroyer, Longarm, The Gunsmith, Nick Carter, they're all what I adore.

And there you have it! 8 very good reasons I am not cool. Normally I guess I'm supposed to tag people, but the heck with that. Most of you have already done something like this before. =P

Hello! I am Waytouy, and I fancy myself an amateur writer here on this grand old site. I've been pointed in your direction several times, and was wondering if perhaps you would take a look at my novel-in-progress?

That depends. Would you be looking for a bit of critique on your work? You know, whatever thoughts I may have upon reading it, good or bad? Or just fluffy, harmless comments? I ask because I have been burned before by people asking my opinion on their work and then throwing a tantrum when it wasn't what they wanted to hear. Also, due to my busy schedule (i.e. life) it sometimes takes me a little while to get through an entire story, so if you've broken it up by chapters, I may read it one chapter per week depending on what's on my plate that week.

Also, what genre is your story? Mind you, I do have some flaws, and one of them is an inability to properly appreciate certain genres more than others. Although, given my free reading habits, I'm sure I'd manage to read and enjoy it no matter what.

And lastly, who exactly pointed you in my direction? I've been given to understand I am invisible to the rest of the human race, and I would like to know how this theory has been disproved. :)

Oh, and extra props for asking politely. You've just earned my fullest attention.

At the moment, I would certainly like honest opinions, as that would provide the best way for me to redo and improve my current work. My story is a blend of Sci-fi and horror genres, and I have not delved yet too deep into the plot. I. Basically noticed you quite frequently in TalkingStck's profile, and since I know him outside of this troll hole we call the Internet, and that you seem an experienced writer yourself, I would greatly value.your opinion.

Okie dokie, honest thoughts ahoy! I've just started on the first chapter and I'll have a massive comment for you when I finish.

Ha! Experienced writer? Someone has been lying to you, buddy. I'm a self-taught idiot who can string a sentence together and make it mildly coherent, nothing more. But I'll do my best. :)

He drew a circle that shut me out --
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in.
I fave only those works of art that truly capture my imagination. It is my solemn duty. And it was my honor to add this venerable work to my list of favorites. :)
