@ Never Good Enough
You are going to find me incredibly odd in a moment probably... When I hear the word artist, I think immediately of Gerard Way. He is just... fucking BRILLIANT in my humble opinion. The man is practically my deity. I want to be like him SO badly! But I don't believe I have anything remotely close to his genius. So, when you imply I am an artist, I am truly honored! There is no greater compliment one can give me than the title "artist." And I am a bit mad, so it would only make sense I would chase a maddening goal, now wouldn't it? Haha. As I see it, all writers have room for improvement; until one has achieved that unobtainable perfection, they are simpy flawed (including by beloved Gerard).
I like romance and death, especially together! And I'm not familiar with the band, but I can read it as an original fiction still. *wink* I think I'll give his stories a little peek soon.
I don't feel angry, but I feel aggravated a lot. I seem to have a different perspective of the world that others cannot see, and no matter how I present my view, they still can't understand. (That is something I feel I DO share with Gerard.) Human beings are not simple by any means, so please don't feel stupid for not understanding them! If we were simple, we'd be a very boring species... and a lot less artistic! I try to make my characters human, and so they are flawed as we all are. No one wants perfect characters. If you need help understanding a character of mine, you are welcome to ask; if it is something yet to be revealed about them, I'll let you know.
No, you are not confusing to me at all. Perhaps we think similarly. :')
It seems simple to me, as well, but I have had many people tell me they said my username wrong. *shrugs* Sometimes I refer to my husband as Mr. E online. So we're misery and mystery. Yes, I'm completely dorky, geeky, cheesy... pick a word!
I take no offense to the word fans. I'm flattered when someone calls themselves my fan or states I even have them, but I feel, I don't know, arrogant to claim for myself I have fans. People who have fans are "someones", and I fear I've done nothing yet to be a "someone" worthy of fans. (But I also have very low self esteem; I'm working on that, though.) And you are welcome to be nosy; if you ask something I'd rather not discuss, I'll politely let you know, but you'll never get to know anyone very well if you aren't willing to ask questions to satisfy your curiosity. I certainly don't find it to be a bother! (I have a suspicion you are curious about Victor and myself in some way...)
I am sure things will work out as they should in time, both for my novel and for my current circumstances. Thank you for your concern!
At some point, I recall you asking me about the site, and I don't believe I ever answered you. Yes, as a staff member, I am fairly familar with most of its features, so if you need assistance with something, please let me know! I'll help as much as I am capable of.
I actually enjoy talking to people, too, although I usually do so through PMs. And being rather honest, I'm growing to like you rather quickly! I'd be pleased to continue chatting with you, as long as you don't think I have forgotten you in the coming weeks! Just one question sweetheart: what shall I call you?
Only if you want to :) no rush :) I'm sure you have more important priorities :) Like maybe the next chapter for Sing for Me, Pretty? haha :)
Maybe that's what I feel but I think I feel sad mostly. I don't understand the world so my perception of it is very small and probably very wrong. What is your perception of the world? I'm afraid I don't really know Gerard's. I think our species is fascinating but so hard to understand. Your characters are truly wonderful to follow because they are so realistic:) Umm does Gerard love Frankie or the idea of Frankie? I guess that has puzzled me for a bit and I tend to go back and forth on this a lot.
I don't know if that would be good or bad haha :) It's nice to have someone understand me and to have someone to talk to. I usually only have Andy and my brother to converse with. But my mind is well different I guess, it's kinda hard to explain. There's a word for it, but it has escaped me for the moment. But I'm happy to talk with you, I feel like I have another friend :)
Awe, I think that's cute :) You could use those names for characters in you ever do an autobiography :)
Would the term followers be more acceptable to use? You do gather quite a few admirers of your work though :) Umm I don't really know that I am curious about you and Victor, because I recognize that it is a close relationship so it is not really any of my business. It must be lovely to have someone like that :)
I truly hope they will :)
Yes I have a few questions. I don't understand what the little ribbon things on our profiles mean, nor the numbers my our users names. Will we be able to see recommendations on our poetry? I'm sorry that I just bombarded you with questions :(
Would you rather talk through PMs? :) I'd really like to continue talking with you :) I understand you're in a situation so I shall have patience haha :) Ummm well I typically just go by Zack but if you wish to come up with something better I have no objections. I've gotten a few nick names here or there but mostly derogatory other than when Brother calls me Zacky
