cblj_backupI take criticism on my writing fairly well, I think, most of the time; concrit on posted stories is always welcome, and unless it's just ranting I usually respond politely. It's different when it's essays, though. I get sort of furious and snotty about people nitpicking my essays, which is funny because I suffer from the biggest case of imposter syndrome EVAR.
It's not even that it's difficult to do all the changes that my really nitpicky committee member suggested I make to my thesis, it's just that it's so disheartening to hit page after page after page of them. I can only cope with about ten pages at a time before my battered little ego starts to weep and I have to give it milk and cookies. Which is why I am doing the iPod iChing, even though I have no iPod.
(my mpio eats fewer batteries, records voice, plays FM radio, and PWNZORS JOO.)

Song 1
The problem at hand:
Do You Hear the People Sing Finale Redux -- Les Mis soundtrack
Sample lyric: There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes
Interpretation: The real world has come a'knockin'.
Song 2
Your feelings about same:
The Boxer -- Simon & Garfunkle
Sample lyric: All lies and jests, still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest
Interpretation: I am a cynical bastard living in denial. Great.
Song 3
The environment in which you operate:
English Garden -- Secret Garden Soundtrack
Sample lyric: It's a maze, this garden, it's a maze of paths Set to lead a man astray
Interpretation: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Song 4
Immediate action to be taken:
Special K -- Andrew Kerr
Sample lyric: And as my rap career began to sputter and choke I did the only natural thing (you would have done the same) I made just a minor transition into folk. (kum-ba-yah, my lord, kum-ba-yah!)
Interpretation: I need to chill the fuck out.
Song 5
Likely outcome:
A Perfect Year - Andrew Lloyd Webber
Sample lyric: We have to ask if this is wise And if the game is worth the price
Interpretation: Do what you love? Don't play the game? Or should I just stick with the title?
