Journal Entry: Fri Mar 21, 2008, 5:55 PM



I never want to become one of those deviants whose popularity ends up exceeding their capacity to interact with their supporters. With my recent DD, thanks to *inspiredimperfection and ^StJoan, i almost found myself in just such a position, and though there was nothing i could do about it, i hated myself for not thanking every single person who :+fav:ed or :+devwatch:ed or :+favlove:collected. I will always respond if you leave a comment, no matter what, but i can no longer promise to do so if you just :+fav:, which saddens me to no end. This mass-thankyou journal is like a cheap cop-out because the ones who :+fav:ed but didn't :+devwatch: or comment will never know and they'll wind up thinking i'm some uppity geek to whom internet popularity means everything. It doesn't. To me, it's all about connections: making new friends, learning and growing together. I guess i'll be saying thanks here to everyone who :+devwatch:ed, if they wind up reading this, but if i had my way, everyone who ever gave me a simple, rare and wonderful :+fav: would get a moment of my time to read through a journal or deviation of theirs and a comment expressing my gratitude for taking their own time to read something of mine. Thanks everyone! I :+favlove: deviantART :hug:

While i have your attention, i'd like to shamelessly plug my and *ThornyEnglishRose's contest, Tots and Teens: The Children's Literature Contest. There are some really cool prizes, and the list of entries is growing. The deadline is April 30, but you should get crack-a-lackin' now so you'll have time to edit, revise, and polish to a gleaming shine. :D

*kLiT-sHy does an interesting thing with her journals that i'd like to try out with mine. At the end she always has a little prompt, usually a question, a sort of addendum that you can comment on even if you don't feel like commenting on the info in the rest of the journal. Here's mine: :below:
*Who is your hero and why?

you were so condescending

A great poem that has fun with the angst genre while working well within that style.
