I'll be lucky if I get a slice of apple pie for Pi Day, much less the, well, there's this other holiday today and...
 
Warning: Egotistical rant coming up.

I offered my advice to a project very close to my heart. It triggered bursts of inspiration, which is awesome and I've written so much material for it in the last three or four days, it's awesome.

But the thing is, I don't want to advise the damn project. I want to take it over and steer it the way I think it should be steered. The original leader of the project has lost most of her interest, and (there's no non-egotistical-sounding way to put this) I know I could do this better than her. She's completely clueless and I wish she would stick to what she knows best, which I'll be the first to say she's pretty good at. She's also a terrible leader and organizer, and I can't see that project ever getting done while she's in charge. Until I proposed the outline that should have been the first thing on the table for this project, the whole thing was disorganized, floating ideas and nothing more.

We disagree on how the project should end up, and I try to discuss this all rationally when I really just want to reach through the screen and shake her hard because, as I said, she's clueless. A very nice girl, but so goddamn fucking clueless.

I just want her to have the realization that she'll be much happier leaving the project to me. I know I could do a kick-ass job with it and she'd enjoy the result. But somehow, I think she's too possessive to consider such a thing. :(

So, Ms. Princess Uber Geek, discuss it with her. Let her know that she is SO good at what she does well that you wish she would have the time to concentrate more on that. Then tell her that, though envious of her talents, your talents lay in organization and project management. Unless she has an emotional investment in it being "her" project she prolly will let go and you can be Queen Nerd.

(Gawd you're hot when you get all forceful and alpha like this... I'd let you take over MY project any time... :devil: )
 
Jen is just hot...period :D

That's very true. And I know from personal experience. :)


Blurt: I'm not in a good place today. I'm needy and emotional and crabby. Which means pms (I hope). And for some stupid reason, I've just decided to go to the zoo today with the ex and his daughter. Just as friends, of course. i wonder if that will be a bad idea.

I don't want to feel so broken today.

Talk to her, if you are so passionate you'll convince her.
I press thumbs for you. :rose:
 
Bel & I are at a fetish fleamarket in DC. If Allybear shows up here, make her welcome. We just met her & chatted about writing. :)
 
Ya know...liars are the most frustrating of all people. They twist truths to get what they want, spinning words and phrases into damnation to incite fearful reactions, and in the end result, get whatever they desire. Whilst I would love to believe, that in the end they receive their just due, often times they do not, escaping by playing off the forgiving hearts of others, to harm more. It is these people whom draw my ire, playing with emotions, base fears, and without care, destroy whatever they so desire.
 
I'll never be able to prove it, but I am positive that girl scout cookies are made with crack. Its the only explanation.
 
I am almost to the point that I am finished with having relationships. From here on out, unless something radical happens, I'm done.
 
So that was dumb. Profoundly dumb. Never hang out with a recent ex at the beginning of pms. I mean- what the hell was I thinking?

I am now super blue, feeling very bad about myself all over again, and super lonely. I don't want him back at all, but being with him just reminded me of how bad our relationship ended up, how crappy I feel about myself because of the way things went, and how completely fucked up I am now.

I know it'll pass, but god, right now I feel like total shit about myself.

The same could be said of those Pringles parmesan and garlic things. I can't eat an entire bag of potato chips in one sitting. I can't even eat an entire full-size can of Pringles in one sitting. But those things? If it's not crack, it's heroin.
 
Blurt: I'm trying. I really am.
