And then I get mad at myself for even caring what idiots say.
I hear ya. On so many levels. Fortunately, I haven't been exposed to teh stoopids on the Dumbledore (non)issue. Did they really think that no gay people exist in a story or world as long as they aren't explicitly mentioned? Reminds me of a dumb argument years ago on one of the Tolkien newsgroups, in which someone earnestly asserted that there are NO toilets in Middle Earth--because Tolkien never mentioned them in the books! La la. Logic. Dontcha love it?
I didn't want to go back over 150, but I did. Dammit.
I'll be happy just to get back under 200. Then again, my build's a bit bigger than yours, even if I'm not taller, so I guess that's no comfort to you. Sorry...
I need to start writing that paper for Fantasy Matters and I feel singularly uninspired.
If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance... you know the rest. Just start writing and see what happens. Even if it's crap, they'll love it just because you wrote it.
You're right. I was not destined to work in the helping professions.
Remind us when and where the conference is, and if we need to buy tickets to attend, okay?
