What do you want from me?

[gwyn]

No, really, what would you like? This next week is going to be utter hell for me. All the student projects are in, and they are universally awful. And they're long. And it means I have to read not only 50+ pages of bad editing, but 50+ pages of bad writing, per student, because I have to read the pieces to find out where the students aren't doing good edits. Arg.

So I think it would be a good idea to do something fun (for values of fun that don't involve some kind of torturous navel gazing or editing). Which leads me to you.

As I've mentioned here lately in my sparse, rare posts, I find it really hard to post. I just feel so crappy about my place in the world, especially in regards to fandom, which is what this journal was for. And it's like people who've been kicking me are just kicking me even more when I'm down. All that leads me to not want to engage here, just because I really feel so painfully dissociated with people.

Doing something someone else requests would be good for me. Request of me something! Want a vid commentary on something I've done? Or a story commentary? (Not that I've any experience doing a commentary, but I can try!) Maybe a five things? Or possibly you've been saving some burning question only I can answer (hey, it could happen). Or posit me a meme. As long as it's not mean, I'll do my best.

Help me help myself get through the next week. Obi-Wan Flist, you're my only hope.

First, I'm so sorry that you've had people in your life who put you down rather than pick you up. That's a horrible experience and it's so hard to see when you're on the inside. I hope that, though you're still finding it difficult to post, you're at least feeling more like yourself. *hugs*

Second, as if you're surprised, I would LOVE a vid commentary on Twilight Zone. I love that vid SO MUCH and would be fascinated to know some of what you were thinking/trying to do when you made it. Aaaaaand now I'm going to have to go and watch it again. Oh, the hardship!

Good luck with the scary papers!

Oh, that would be awesome! I have never done vid commentary (you know, I actually used to think it was a voiceover like a commentary track. yeah. that's how dumb I am), so that would be a fun experiment. And I haven't watched the vid in an age so that would be great fun.
