You like... cats! You're a cat person! As we all know, cat people are always up to no good. (Then again, you also like dogs, which makes the point moot, but... let's not talk about that). And... you know... Japanese! Ha! Which, admittedly is kinda cool, but HA anyway. And... you like writing scripts! And plays! Which means...
You're good at dialogue?
Okay, okay, enough. This is getting lame.
Hehehe...

Rei, whats the difference? You do fit in, i've read some of your work and i liked what i read. All writers are storytellers. Because writing is telling a story, same thing. I dont think you should leave because Brad said something and it hurt you.
Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience
Griffin's the one who used the word leave, not me. And there is a difference.
And how is it so many people seem to think I'm so great when I see a much larger number of comments on my work pointing out the problems rather than telling me what they liked about it?
Please, sit down before you fall down.

Rei, you seriously need some antidepressants. *shares some of my Lexapro with you* I like you a lot. I think you're smart and, to use Griffin's word, capable. Everyone gives EVERYONE critiques, good and bad. I prefer to give bad critiques because good critiques make you feel good, but they sure as hell don't improve your work. You're a good writer, and you shouldn't leave because people on this site like you. Brad must think highly of you if he used your quote in his signature.

We're not a support system, we're critics. You always 'threaten' to leave a site (both here and TYWC). Why don't you take a stand and finally do it? Otherwise, you're just wasting all of our time. And really, the fact that you haven't left already shows that you just want sympathy, not a solution.
As I've said, your supposed inferiority complex appears to be a manipulative device you use to get attention--not a real condition. If it were, you wouldn't be able to tell me, 'I know you attempted to praise me, but I still interpreted [your comment] negatively', and then demanded to know why I didn't care. Why should I? The 'problem', if it can be called that, is yours.
To the contrary, it appears quite a few problems have stemmed from my presence on this site, which leads me to question whether I should be here, or elsewhere.
The call is yours.

Incan, don't go. Sometimes, you can frustrate me, but I've never met anyone that doesn't frustrate me on some level or another. Most of the time, it's a blast. It's kind of nice having a resident genius online. ^_^
And just because I may not like your poetry... well... I don't like poetry in general. So it's not your fault!

You were a little late for this. My crappy mood was long gone by the time you posted. But thanks for bringing it back. Oh and by the way, just because you realize that there was no hurt intended doesn't make it hurt any less.
Once again, I'm not the one who used the word "leave". Griffin was. Besides, I'm not likely to have time for this site anymore once I start school in a few weeks. And I'll getting too old to be here anyway.
And paka, we've already established that. No need to step on me anymore. You've won. I've always known I'm a manipulator, though I don't realize when I do it until after it's done. I like to hear good things, but have trouble recognizing them or accepting them as truths. As I said, this is more proof that I really am a fairy. Their nature is elusive, constantly changing. If you knew me in the real world, sometimes it would really look like I have an inferiority complex, and when I'm having bad days, all those negative thoughts feel true. And other times I'm the most arrogant, confidant person in the world.
And my coming back to TYWC had nothing to do with wanting sympathy. It I just couldn't help myself when we started arguements. I wanted to win an argument for once. Didn't really care who it was with. You just provided the most to work with. Although I may have done so in the Shakespeare debate since nobody said anything after me. At least I like to think I did. My coming back had more to do with my obsessive complusive habits than anything else.
Please, sit down before you fall down.
