Thoughts of a dry brain in a dry season
|
| '"But I think she would have been happy with Fabrice," I said. "He was the great love of her life, you know."
"Oh, dulling," said my mother sadly. "One always thinks that. Every, every time."'

| Your Existing Situation
"Needs extra attention and must feel she is very important to those around her. If she doesn't think she is being spoiled enough, she may shut herself off from others."
Your Stress Sources
"Feels unappreciated and in an unpleasant position. Needs personal recognition and the respect of others, since she has not been about to find partners who value the same things she does. she holds back her emotions and is unable to give fully of himself, but lasting isolation makes her want to change those ways and surrender to her deep urges. Giving in to her natural instincts and urges is a sign of weakness, so feeling this way makes her weak and irritable. Fighting these urges makes her feel stronger, as if she can take on anything that comes her way. Longs to be valued as an important associate and admired for her personal qualities."
Your Restrained Characteristics
"His desire to avoid open conflict and tension forces her to put her desires on hold, even though she is feeling restrained and uneasy."
"Feels she is not receiving her fair share and is unable to rely on anyone for support or sympathy. she keeps her emotions bottled up, leaving her quick to take offense to small things. she tries to make the best of her situation."
Feels trapped in a helpless situation and is desperately seeking relief. she is able to find pleasure and happiness in sexual activity.
"Believes her hopes and dreams are realistic, but needs reassurance from others. Has strict standards when looking for a partner and wants guarantees that she will not be disappointed or lose."
Your Desired Objective
"He feels life in general is handing her to many difficult and unpleasant things, but no one else seems to agree with her. she is resistant to joining in with others and want to be left alone."
Your Actual Problem
"Feeling a lack of energy, she does not wish to be involved in further activity or give in to demands. she is feeling powerless causing her stress, agitation, and irritation. she reacts by becoming the victim and feeling as if everyone is out to get her. Demands with annoyance that she needs to get her own way."
Your Actual Problem #2
"Struggles with her need for respect and admiration from others; feels she needs to make a name for herself and stand out from the crowd. she acts out by insisting she be the center of attention, and refuses to step back, stand down, or take on a minor, insignificant role."
That is scary accurate. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |

| What really bugs me is when people feel they are qualified to comment on films, they use this faux-technical language, and they attempt to really 'get to grips' with the content. They make massive judgements when they have absolutely no qualification which allows them to do this. When I was at university I was offered a lot of script-writing and film-related modules, all of which I avoided because I don't know anything at all about film. I took a detective fiction half-module because it looked really interesting and I LOVE detective fiction, but I took in despite the fact that 50% of the course was based on film. I went to one screening all term, because I in no way feel qualified to comment.
Having met Adam, I know I was completely correct. He clearly worked really hard for three years to gain the knowledge he now has from his film degree. He also has a post graduate qualification in film journalism, and he writes reviews and interviews for free in his spare time. He applies endlessly to film journalism jobs and is looking to do more of this, because he has put in the time, the effort, he is passionate about it, and most of all he is equipped to do so.
However, having watched a few films and having read IMDB does not mean that you are therefore able to tell us that 'this is just a rehash of its predecessor', or comment on a film's place in cinematic history, or give it a rating, or discuss the best track record of a film company. It's arrogant to think that because you have an opinion, it is an informed one. You are able to give your opinion and that is your right, of course it is. However, what absolute bastard hubris some people have in thinking that because they have a degree in physics, or English, or computer science, or simply the experience of having been to the cinema a few times, they are able to really discuss the worth of a film! It really, really pisses me off on behalf of my extremely intelligent, passionate boyfriend.
I also know how he feels, it very much frustrates me when people think they are able to comment on books in an informed way. They are art forms, just because they are easily accessible to all does not mean they are easily understood by all. It would be nice if people would have a little bit of respect for that and keep their damn bullshit to themselves. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| | So, Night World books, which I read about 10-11 years ago, have been repackaged and are now being read by the youngsters. Also, they have repackaged The Last Vampire series which I LOVED when I was 13-15... Hmm. I feel very, very old. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| ''I saw her kiss him,' said Susan. 'I looked between the leaves and saw her. She danced in flecked diamonds light as dust. And I am squat, Bernard, I am short. I have eyes that look close to the ground and see insects in the grass. The yellow warmth in my side turned to stone when I saw Jinny kiss Louis. I shall eat grass and die in a ditch in the brown water where dead leaves have rotted.''
...
''But when we sit together, close,' said Bernard, 'we melt into each other with phrases. We are edged with mist. We make an unsubstantial territory.''

| 'When God had made The Man, he had made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Then after that some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song. So they covered each one over with mud. And the lonesomeness in the sparks make them hunt for one another, but the mud is deaf and dumb. Like all the other tumbling mud-balls, Janie had tried to show her shine.'
