An immoral pleasure seeker
Oct. 8th, 2010 10:29 pmJon made me watch this today:
I laughed for nearly ten minutes straight, and then giggled my way to work. Once there I showed it to some co-workers, and the DIDN'T GET IT. I was appalled, I tell you! Well, mostly I just looked at them feeling like I was about to cry. Then Dave wandered passed, and I made him watch it, and at least he got it.Yay for Dave. Arg, I want Megan to be back noooow.
Mmm, and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
seperis posted a great quote, which I found useful and enjoyable. NaNo is coming around, and yet again I'm caught in the painful back-and-forth of excitement-yay-nano-let's-try-again! and fuck-I-never-finish-why-do-I-always-get-so-excited? Anyway, hurray for finding encouragement:
"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others" -- Martha Graham
