We used to go to the same social club, and we got along pretty well together, simply because we were the only people there who were under 30. I left the club (being the only other person besides ex-crush in their 20's was fucking awful, and I couldn't afford the membership fees any more). I saw she had a thing for me, and I pursued it at the time because I didn't see any harm in it; my dating life was about as active as it is right now.

Trouble is... I don't feel anything for her now. Hell, the fact that she's trying to get back in touch annoys me more than anything else, which is a pretty shitty thing to say, but it's true.Also, she's pretty fat. Not OMG LANDWHALE fat, but she's not exactly svelte either. I know it's shallow of me, and I'm not exactly Brad Pitt, but I'm just not attracted to her physically or psychologically.

On the plus side, her trying to inveigle her way into my life has compelled me to give meetup.com another try, so that's something!

And I have learned a new word.

Anyway, it's no problem if you don't care for her weight. Obviously you don't want to tell her this, but the way I see it is if you lower your standards to include someone you're not interested in, you'll be very unhappy in life.

This is what I'm going to have to do since we already decided we would hang out next week.

On the plus side the guy is super nice and wonderful and I'm really excited.

>like a girlfriend that left me for some douche who wears popped collars, and oh god I'm so alone, why does my keyboard smell like bourbon.

I'm so sorry anon but take solace in the fact that if she likes a douche who wears popped collars you're better off without her. Good luck in life, I hope you feel better soon.

http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/25/carmack-decries-unfair-credit-for-early-id-software-titles/

Linking this because it's relevant to something I've thought about and felt before. Companies are made of a lot of people, and often only a handful of people actually get credit for the work of a couple hundred people. For example, Disney. As far as some people are concerned, there are only twelve people who have ever worked at Disney: Walt Disney, the Nine Old Men, Glen Keane, and Andreas Deja. Yet the credits for the movies scroll on and on, because in reality, the teams have always been much longer than that. Whenever Valve does something, Gabe Newell gets all the blame (or all the credit). It's frustrating, from an artistic standpoint.

...But then again, maybe some artists do it intentionally? I know some people who are artists, myself included, who really don't want to be in the spotlight. I want my art out there, I want to have something I did be displayed on a movie screen, but I also never want to be an obscenely rich asshole who gets hounded by the paparazzi.

Not sure what you two are scoffing at. Physically not attractive to you and mentally not attractive to you means any pursued relationship will probably end in abuse for or by one of them. Additionally, he's tried to be with her before and he has some idea of what it'd be like the second go around.

This seems perfectly valid. No amount of trying to force a relationship will make it work if both people aren't interested.

Thats cos they're the director, dude.
Even as someone who's worked on a big ensemble piece, with the 'boss' getting all the credit. Its understandable.
Someone has to conduct the orchestra.
You're not gonna chastise everyone applauding the conductor just because they're not also applauding whomevers playing the clarinet.

Same reason people credit the Director in a Movie after its title. Same reason people credit the artist of a song regardless of sound engineers or session musicians.
There's always the need for someone to carry it all.

In the end, you can still be proud of what you were involved in once the credits roll.

Just tonight I realized that my feelings for my gentleman friend (very close friend with benefits) might be stronger than I thought.

I was watching this movie Wake Wood. It's sort of like Pet Sematary but more subdued. A couple loses their daughter, and they get an opportunity to resurrect her for three days. They have to do some unsavory things to get the necessary materials. I wondered, as one does when watching such a film, who I would be willing to do unsavory things for in the name of resurrection. And my gentleman friend sprang immediately to mind, before any of my family or other friends. It was strange. I hadn't been thinking of him.
>> No. 380587
>>380581
It's understandable, yeah, I just have mixed feelings about it. I would get pretty pissed if people were treating the director of a film I worked on like he just spent five hours in front of a computer and did the entire thing himself. (And I have sadly had to convince people that this isn't the case usually, making films and games is hard and takes a lot of people.)

But at the same time, I don't want to be the head of a project, and even if it makes me less of an artist, I would be happy working under someone instead of doing 100% my own original work.

How fat? The chillest dude I know is from NJ, but he's probably only like 10-20 pounds overweight, just chubby.
He is 6'8" though so that's really cool.

I feel the same, just took a grain of salt to note cynicism in people not taking a good thing when it happens to them and excusing it with bullshit. I would die if later we just go back to forever alone when the opportunity was there and willing.

But if that's not the case. I'm totally okay with it.

This is why I never talk to anyone IRL about my views on life. I was suicidal before, but now I merely wish to be dead. However, suggesting that I just don't want to live anymore will make most people freak out, even though I have absolutely no inclination to hurt myself.

I merely wish a bus to lose its brakes and smash into my car while I'm stopped at a light. (Ideally I never exist in the first place, but we're past that point.)

Someone I just met said they had only a few years to live, and I was worried, but they're saying they know how long they're going to live because they had "visions", not because they went to a doctor or anything, or they're actually ill at all, and I just...

I mean yeah, I myself did and still sometimes do think I'll die young, but I just figured someone would bump me off for being a weirdo or annoying.

I know the feeling--right down to having the exact same recurring fantasy.
I've accepted that it's likely permanent. Decades of different kinds of therapy, ECT, meds, forcing myself to volunteer to gain a sense of accomplishment, travel, and treatment plans by the best people I could afford and thousands upon thousands of dollars down the drain have only resulted in my doctors shrugging and labeling my depression as "treatment resistant."
I'm looking into TMS lately, and I'll see if I can give it a try. If it's not helpful, whatever. I've been contemplating buying a gun, but I keep putting it off due to both not wanting to bother with it and not having the balls

As previously stated, I've seen the best I can afford for a couple decades without results, and I've exhausted every option outside of TMS by this point to no avail.

I am. I can't say for the other person. I've found asking others if they're seeing a psychiatrist is really not a good idea, people have reacted to the suggestion by threatening to self-harm.

What angered me is that this person in particular was coming off talking as if they were terminally ill. They hadn't been to a doctor or feeling any symptoms, they just had a "vision" they were going to get sick.

I've always kind of found it to be like a "charge", and once you expel it to a certain degree, the creative juices have to "recharge". A lot of big-time writers will swear by having an hour or a set period of the day set aside to write, and they will only write during that allotted time.

also my smut seems a lot less good after I have, ahem, expel my creative charge. Porn can be more draining to write for multiple reasons.

i find i usually kind of have fits of inspiration then it fizzles out, never to return. i have dozens of years-old half-written fics that never get finished because of it which is usually ok by me because most of my fandoms are pretty small so not many people ever get to read it. i hadn't even gotten to the porny bits yet. sigh.

I know this feeling. Sometimes I can barely churn out 500 words. And then one time I wrote 10,000 words in two hours. Also I tend to over think things/show not tell then what I write turns out atrocious. It happens to the best of us.

The problem with creative writing is that you have Inspiration and then you have actual writing time, and writing time can tire you out in its' own way.

Inspiration strikes where ever. Research says that this is the nature of inspiration; your best ideas always come when your brain is not actively concentrating on your task, but when it is at rest and you are doing whatever.

But just sitting down and writing something for an hour or two is actively draining, especially when you have to make up fictional elements, generate reasons and motivations for your characters, write description, construct landscapes, political realities, fake technology etc. If you have a subject, or if the characters are prebuilt, some of the work is done for you. It is still a draining activity. One requires endurance.
