The 'How You Feelin'' thread v6.0

[LPNailz]

Heheh...thanks...It's a bit hard to be optimistic when you're one person fighting at least three or four to defend your work. And I'm just not the sort of person who can smile and nod and ignore them; I gotta start a fight about it. Which is stupid, because I really suck at arguing. There's 2 people who seem to seek out my lyrics simply to bitch about them; I have to wonder Why are you even bothering to read them?

 

Ah well...feeling better, got some chocolate into my system.

Chocolate is a wonder drug. Forget Crack and Ice, nothing releases those endorphins in a more satisfactory way than good old fashioned chocolate...

 

As for optimism, hell no. I meant quite the opposite.

Smile politely, thank them for their insults, and then push harder to create something that thay'll hopefully choke on. If you don't have the courage to stand up and counter attack, let your work speak for you. And you know what, thank them for caring enough to critisize. If they're so awesome at what they do, you should probably sarcastically infer that out of all the important things they have to do in their lives they had to stop and pick at your work and overinflate their ego which is apparently so starved for attention they're stripping down strangers to make themselves feel better. They must'nt have got enough affection from their mother as babies. Maybe it's some deep-seated childhood trauma about not making the team back in junior high. No one likes a bully, except other bullies. Can you find a friend there and criticise these neighsayers back in tandem? Do they even post? If they only speak in derogative terms, ask why they have nothing encouraging to say. If they keep being negative simply say nothing. Bullies enjoy the reactions they get. They'll either try harder or give up and move on. And if you suck at arguing, make friends with someone who's good at it

 

Bottom line you have to learn to suck it up. In the competative market of writing this is the reality. Trust me. The road ahead is littered with people who for whatever reason couldn't or never will make it. They think by stripping down others they'll get closer to the brass ring so to speak. Doesn't mean what they're doing is right, but if you can't let your writing speak for you, then simply say nothing. Post your poems and don't post anything other, don't comment, don't critique.

There's nothing more ominous than a silent stranger in the dark

Hang in there. Write. But try your hardest not to take their attacks too personally. I know its not easy, no one likes to be dumped on, but if you play into their hands you essentially are keeping the wheels of their dumb little games going.

 

Better to look a fool and say nothing than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

 

And I think I feel... ill.

"Thanks for chiming in and trying to depress me. It's good to know there are stil neanderthals roaming the earth."

 

Meh. They post. I despise their lyrics, but I refrain from saying so because I'm afraid I'm just blinded by my anger towards them. I refuse to be so petty and sink to their level.

 

I had much more to say, but for some reason my stupid computer just deleted it. Argh! Hmhmhm...well, I'm feeling much better. You give such good advice. Thanks

No probs. I try. Whether anyone listens I dunno but still, better than saying nothing, otherwise people start feeling isolated and like no one cares.

 

I like this place (LPF) so I think by interracting with others in a more constructive manner gives me a sense of accomplishment - even if I don't leave my house for days and only speak to my cats for company on my days off, I always have this place to talk to. Sometimes a few nice decent people talk back. They're the ones that make this place worthwhile for me. If it were all negative or the like I don't think anyone would bother coming here - unless they like inflicting suffering on others (and lets face it, some are only happy making everyone else around them miserable).

 

Pity more people didn't think / feel / act this way (more like us, I meant).

 

But kudos to you for not playing into their hands. At the end of the day if only in your mind it makes you the better person.

[LPNailz]

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly listen. No reason to turn a deaf ear to sensible comments. And you're probably one of the few sensible people I'll ever meet, if the people I know now are anything to go by.

 

Then again most of the people I know are my family. Enough said. And I also live in the scientifically-proved dumbest place in the entire USA. I'm so moving to Texas when I can...

[Acezorz]

I feel terrible; been sick for the past 24 hours, was in bed for that entire time. My body is completely out of sync and I feel really weak =/ I think I have food poisoning.

[LPNailz]

Hmmmm...bored and a little lonely.

[Usiel]

:eek: what did you eat?? rat poison?? why don't you go to the doctor? If you think you ate something that had poison (I still am surprised about it!! ) you should go as fast as you can to a hospital or somewhere like this. They can help you...I hope everything goes fine with you from now on, man. What a pity I can't do anything for helping you!!! Well, I give you all my esteem. Good luck

 

Well, except this news, I'm fine. Today my parents have gone to the beach, but I've felt a bit tired so I've stayed here, at home. You know, I feel a bit lonely but my happiness is too big!! I have the whole house just for me!!! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT!! For the time being, I'm having fun here. Later, I will go out for a while. It will be time for running and to do some sport!!

I just had the worse night out. My ex bf attacked me in public in a bar. I spent the majority of it in a cops station. I'm a very forgiving person but right now, I don't wanna know him and thinking that I should be getting an AVO against him rather bitching about it.

:eek: OMG.. What's going on today with all you, guys???well, dear woodyloveslinkin, don't be sad. you aren't a forgiving person. be sure of that. You should be happy; your ex bf is a fucking idiot guy who doesn't know what is losing without you, girl.

I don't know you very well, I don't know how your intimate life is (although I guess it is full of "lethal passion" :-P isn't it?) but I think a guy who attacks a girl in public in a bar is someone without mind. You can like or not a person but whom has the right for attacking someone?? Nobody, everybody should be respected whatever their decisions are. Don't listen him. There is a huge world full of people who can give you love and respect. So fuck him and all the people who don't respect you.

[woodyloveslinkin]

Thanks Usiel. I'm just so fucking disappointed that the evening had to turn out like this, I was with friends at the bar until I ran into him. It's going to be hell tomorrow when I come over there and pick all my stuff up. I really would like to see his explanation and excuse. My fingers still hurt like hell and I'm just so hyped up in the events of tonight it's not funny.

[MrsBennington-Delson]

hope you're all good again Sarah *hugs* that son of a b**** should stay away from you!!

 

 

Im fine again was kinda meh and all dead the whole day =/

[Jeezy]

I'm good

 

really good

[GraDoN]

al good, going to a friends party tonight, so hopefully its cool

[Linkin_lp_park]

I´m good

Had a fun day, went to the birthday of my girlfriends mom

Tomorrow I have to get up early for work, so that sucks

Ah well, a bbq will follow afterwards

[MrsBennington-Delson]

Drunk :D:D

[LPNailz]

Angry...tired of being treated like a little baby. Hungry...too goddamn proud to admit it. Frustrated...trying to be understanding and not let it get to me. Bored... Like screaming... Furious...

[woodyloveslinkin]

Lacking a heap of sleep. Still upset about last night's events. I wrote him a letter telling him what I felt of the situation. Unexcusable and immoral.

I want to see his reaction but at the same time I don't wanna see him at all. I said in the letter that he had a couple of options I'm willing to give him and one of them was "#4 Apology - I'm not going to accept it but you can apologise just to make yourself feel better." I said to him also that I've lost respect towards him entirely now, as a friend, as a male and most importantly as a human being. I don't know what to do, the cop I spoke to said I should try and remain civil with him and try to be friends with him....how the fuck can I remain civil after doing what he did and when I was only trying to help him out? He was drunk and I said to him "Let's go home you're too drunk." The worst kind of person I reckon. I said to him as well I'm prepared to delete him out my life entirely, but it didn't need to come down this and that's what is depriving me of my sleep. I didn't want to talk to anyone about it last night, oh well, I spoke to Liam about it and he convinced me to go to the cop station to at least report it...

[Ravynlee]

I'm good, aside from the fact I gotta get ready for work soon... but two days off after that and OMG DISTURBED!

*is running around in circles like a giddy love-struck schoolgirl.... well, not really, but sounded amusing*

[woodyloveslinkin]

Have fun at work

[Ravynlee]

Have fun at work

Fun and work don't belong in the same sentence, but I am looking forward to the days off, so if this is what I have to do to get there then fine, I'll smile and be nice but I don't have to like it

Thanks.

I'll agree with you in the deleting him out of your life part; any man who attacks a girl is a complete coward and doesn't deserve their presence, let alone their friendship.

[woodyloveslinkin]

Thanks. I've lost respect for him and I'm going to stick to implementing the deletion of him outta my life. His number will be the first thing to go once I deliver the letter and pick up my stuff. If I lose respect for them, it's an automatic deletion (well not automatic at times, but it takes a fair while). I just kick myself now for not listening to my friends about him. I said in the letter as well "As much as you want to roll your eyes at this statement, go ahead, I seriously don't care, but my friends were right. I've lost respect for you entirely. What a messy way to end a friendship, could've gone better, but it didn't need to come down to this." I'm resolving the unresolvable relationship. He just won't exist in my life anymore. And every time that I think of talking to him, yeah, I'll say hi to him in the street and all, that's about it, I'll think about about that record he has now that Liam (gotta txt message him and thank him again for picking me up in a mess and all driving me to the station) persuaded me to put against him. He drew the final line last night.

I'm still kicking myself for not listening to my friends about him - LPF and reality, well Rav falls into the catagory of both really. Liam, Mel, I mean how fucking blind was I? Unbelievable. I don't love him anymore, or even like him. He's just so....mean.

[LPNailz]

Restless and angry...a bit tearful, for no good reason.

[woodyloveslinkin]

I feel sadistically happy.
