Wednesday Whine — May 1, 2002
1. Julia Cameron’s advice to writers is to “keep the drama on the page.” (page 40, The Right to Write) Where do you express your drama? Do you write about it, sing about it, fight regularly with a significant other or family member? After the drama has ended, how do you feel?
I express my drama inside of me as to not bother others with it. Well, I’ll also express it to Jenn. I don’t do drama very well.
And I need to get that book.
2. What do you think is the most underpaid and unsupported profession? Why do you think this?
Anything that pays minimum wage or less. Minimum wage isn’t nearly enough to even start paying bills or provide for yourself and it’s usually the shit jobs that get it, retail, food services and the like. Those are the jobs where the customers are the worst and the workload’s huge. It’s not worth it.
3. Name one thing (object, person, feeling) that you are happy that you have in your life. Now name one thing that is missing. How are they related?
I’m happy Jenn is in my life. She makes me very happy and time with her is always wonderful. These days she’s been the only good constant in my life and I love her for it.
Missing? School. And they’re pretty unrelated except that Jenn’s completely supportive of me getting back into school and trying to help me out as best she can.
4. “You must have chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.” — Friedrich Nietzsche (Do what you would like with this quote!)
Damn, then I must be preparing to birth one hell of a dancing star.
5. < whines > Why should we always have to use our “nice voice?!”
Because I said so….
