It probably is best to leave it until it's done, you're right. I'm just glad he's trying something.
If he starts backsliding @Meowthkip, let us know won't you?
I refuse to let him do that.

And I'll be the King of Space Tacos.In the next ten years, I'll have some things published, get a teaching job at an elementary school, get laid, have a girlfriend...

Can I still make snarky drawings? I can still do that, right? Once I can upload images again?So, with the merging of Connor's random little asspat-seeking thread back into his main one (thanks, @Glaive ), it seems like a good place to start trying something new. Since the Jace boards are dead now, I'm stealing one of their rules and jury-rigging it for my own purposes:
- Stop getting mad at Connor
Yes, it's fun to yell at him, yes, we've all done it, but we're almost 200 pages in so it's time to stop. Too many threads on the site are starting to become unofficial Free A-Logging Zones, and this is as good a place as any to nip it in the bud. From here on out, if you have something to add feel free to post. If you just want to call him a whiny fat faggot, though, the time for that has passed us by.
That's pretty much how I feel now. After 200 pages & that. . .whatever that was last night, I can only feel disdain, disappointment, disillusionment, disgust, & other things that start with "dis." & one that doesn't. That one is "mild contempt."I can see the distinction here. Eons ago I had a flatmate very much like @Connor who me and my friends tried to earnestly offer advice and compassion to. So, when I lurked and followed this thread, I knew from experience how hopeless those well-intentioned pieces of advice were towards this kind of """personality type""" .
So, invariably, that leaves me with hollow disdain towards him.
I think the skewed perception of time can be attributed to autism. It's worth noting, though, that he conveniently "forgets" what he does to get himself banned, & how high school was LIKE FOREVER AGO & can't be expected to remember anything about it, but he can tell you about all the praise he got for his writing in elementary & middle school. He even got an award from the lt. governor, you know.Has anyone ever pointed out that you seem to have an extremely distorted concept of time passing? As in, you're barely twenty-one and yet somehow high school is too far back to remember? And you believe that three weeks is long enough for you to "get your act together" and come back new-baptized as if you were a completely different person?
I wonder if Connor ever suffers from constipation with his limited diet. It might explain why he's so full of shit.@A Whole Block of Cheese Taking Connor's diet into consideration, I'd like to give you a heads-up and say that this....might not be the safest place for you. You've been warned.
Never stop.Can I still make snarky drawings? I can still do that, right? Once I can upload images again?
Sure thing, boss. Also, the amount of times I've listened to "Crawling" while drawing Connor-related things is insane.Never stop.
JOKE'S ON YOU BITCH SHE'S A BLAZIKEN NOW@BOLDYSPICY! If you do stop making your amazing drawings, I might arrange for your Torchic to have a little... accident.
No, I would never hurt a sweet little Pokemon but I NEED YOUR DRAWINGS THEY GIVE ME LIFE
I do recall you saying you were going to draw the gents of the Conner thread once you were finished with the ladies. Hopefully poor @Smutley won't have drank himself to death digging through all those Conner posts before then.JOKE'S ON YOU BITCH SHE'S A BLAZIKEN NOW
Seriously, though, I'm not gonna stop drawing.![]()
I am indeed! & then hopefully the group pictures with everyone. As for @Smutley drinking himself to death, that's why I posted the drawing of me bringing him tea & wrapping him in a blanket! That's how I offer encouragement & show my support~I do recall you saying you were going to draw the gents of the Conner thread once you were finished with the ladies.

friend are you really just this nice like whatI am indeed! & then hopefully the group pictures with everyone. As for @Smutley drinking himself to death, that's why I posted the drawing of me bringing him tea & wrapping him in a blanket! That's how I offer encouragement & show my support~
Also if anyone's having a bad day, let me know so I can draw you wrapped in a blanket with a cup of tea, too.
Connor's just going to have to deal with "plain" cheeseburgers & being skreonk'd.
Naw, I'm just a fuckin' spastic with a lot of free time. The Farms has been a really great outlet for me, & has legitimately helped a lot in my recovery. So why not draw stupid shit that makes me happy & entertains others as well? I owe everyone here a lot. Even Connor. Especially Connor.friend are you really just this nice like what
but back on topic, did Connor go to bed so he could skip out on that Red robin thing with @Meowthkip or had they already finished

But no, Connor went to bed early to prepare for school, so I don't think they've started yet. I've noticed Connor tends to get on around 4:30-5 CT on Tuesdays & Thursdays, so maybe school is an all-day affair (despite having just one class)? If I had to guess, I'd say his parents drop him off sometime in the morning, & then he meanders around campus for several hours after class waiting for his parents to get off work & pick him up.
Well, of course! When else is he going to find the time to walk around campus "discussing grisly crime scene details into an RCA handheld voice recorder?"then he meanders around campus for several hours after class waiting for his parents to get off work & pick him up.
This sounds almost identical to my own experience of learning how to drive. I was terrified and never wanted to do it, but as soon as I actually had my license and my own car, I realized I wouldn't give up that freedom for the world. Driving is such a huge stepping stone for independence as an adult. It's not as if Connor can expect to be able to get a job if he's relying on his parents for transportation -- parents who don't even want him to have a job in the first place.I wonder if Connor's ever considered getting a license (or, if he has one, if he actually uses it). I know that driving isn't for anyone, but for me, learning how to drive was an immensely empowering experience. I held off getting my license for a long time (I was 18 when I finally got it) and the only reason I got it in the first place was because I would be commuting to my campus and my parents refused to drive me there everyday, plus they wanted me to have the adult responsibility of driving.
It was near-torture getting through the 8 hour class I had to attend (my anxiety disorder flared up horribly) and doing the practice driving wasn't exactly exhilarating, but at the end of the experience I had a license and my grandma had even given me her old car. Suddenly, I found that I could go wherever I wanted, when I wanted. If I was hungry, I didn't have to beg my mom or dad to pick something up, I could do it myself. If I was uncomfortable and/or scared at some social setting, I could leave whenever I wanted instead of having to wait for someone to pick me up or have them ask me to stay. If I wanted to buy something, I could just hop in my car and go to the store. Having that kind of control over my life was- and is- very soothing and empowering.
The possible situation with Connor you just described is exactly what I'm talking about. When I go to my classes, I can leave as soon as they're over because I don't have to wait for anyone to take me home. Connor should look into getting a license and/or car.
I admit that it's hard for me to come up with truly original ideas because I've surrounded myself with a veritable garden of books and movies in the hopes that I can actually write a good story. To be honest, I had no fucking clue what I was doing with Redesigning Eva. My protagonist was a blank slate, I had no real plot to speak of, no sense of direction. Everything that could've went wrong went really fucking wrong.
It's hard to motivate myself. I have this crippling fear of failure that's so pervasive that I stop and hesitate before I really do anything.
Okay so, update on the Round Robin.
Rules are we're doing a paragraph each (or the equivalent of a paragraph if we get into dialog, I guess), and we've had four exchanges so far, with Connor starting. Connor initially went about it with an almost sarcastic start, but I decided to try and make things interesting by quickly establishing some intrigue. Connor already seems to be veering off track, but hopefully I can steer him in a direction that will actually encourage him to have, like, a plot.
I'm thinking I'll refrain from posting the whole thing until it's done.
