Topic: Disappointment of the Day

Tried to ask a girl out, told her to meet me but she went on, fell down and hurt my ankle, and feeling very angry...today was the 9/11 of days for me.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. A date I had planned for Valentine's Day got canceled. I was expecting this to happen too, oddly enough. Oh well, at least I'm not that disappointed since I was expecting this. Well, so much for that....
Guess I'll just go buy FE:A now...sigh...

I scrapped my old comic idea, and this time, it's probably for good. Luckily it hadn't really gotten past the planning phase outside of some practice strips, but still, I was really longing to get that comic made recently, but now I think it's time to let it go. For one thing, it wasn't going the direction I originally wanted it to - it was supposed to be a comedy with a light story to it, yet almost all the new material I wrote for it recently were story-focused, action-ish stories that don't seem to mesh as well with the older material. To put it simply, it was slowly turning into a super hero comic, which was not what I originally intended to write. Besides, if I want to write a super hero comic, I should probably make that as the main goal from the beginning, instead of shoehorning it into a completely different story.

Not only that, but my plan was to work on this comic for 10+ years - I don't think I have to willpower to commit to one story for that long, especially if the whole thing is based on ideas I came up with in tenth grade - Yes, I originally came up with it and planned it through when I was 16. I'm already a different person from who I was when I was 16 now, I'll definitely be a completely different person 10 years from now. I really don't think I would've really stayed with the comic for the full intended length of time. It doesn't help that I recently read a journal of a person who tried to do a comic for 10+ years based on an idea that they came up with in 10th grade, and ended up losing enthusiasm for it after 8 years, leaving the comic unfinished. I don't want to do that, not to myself, not to my readers (if I have any...).

There's even more reasons, but I think you guys get the gist. I probably shouldn't have held onto this idea for so long, but I don't move on very easily. In fact, I might be tempted to pick the old idea back up again if I don't come up with a new one soon. It's day three already, and I don't have the slightest clue what my next project should be. I'm sure I'll think of something, though, and if it becomes necessary, I'll recycle a few old ideas I came up for for my older comic world. If nothing else, the past few years have shown that I am very good at coming up with ideas. My imagination has not yet dulled, I suppose, so now it's just time to look towards the future, and see if I can come up with a new idea that's even better than the old one - and hopefully this time I'll put it into action!

Still pretty bummed I couldn't at least come up with an ending, though. Oh well...

@CanisWolfred If you like that comic but don't think you can commit to it for 10 years why not shorten it? You could think about what parts of the story you most want to tell to your readers and build it around that. Maybe you could downsize the cast and keep the characters that are most important/the characters you most want to show to your readers. Another idea is removing some ideas and saving them for a different series and then changing them to fit the comic they will be in.

@Mickeymac Don't give up, dude! It'll all come to you in due time! As long as your chances of finishing it aren't 0% that minus well be 100%! I believe in you!

I tried to do that, but couldn't. Just covering the story arcs of the main cast takes up most of that time, and their dynamic doesn't work as well with less characters (tried just following it with 3 of them, but I didn't like it). Besides, as I said, I didn't like where it was going, anyways. I don't think I want to do a pure comedy anymore, anyways. Originally I wanted something little kids could enjoy, but I think I've moved on from that now. I had a lot of trouble keeping my ideas PG after a while...

It should be easier to start fresh. I actually did come up with two other stories as a quick excersize last year. Had a pad full of ideas in a few hours. It shouldn't be too hard, I just need to get out of my deep blue funk I'm in right now and start brainstorming.

Playstation 4.
@MickeyMac Hope you get an idea. I'd be up for some brainstorming via Backlog if you want. :3

PS4. I expected so much more. While I just heard about an Infamous game, other than that, the no details on the new Final Fantasy made for a lackluster announcement. I hope they have something better to show at E3.

A very close family friend was hit by a car yesterday. And the people who did it just drove on, without doing anything. I feel really bad for her. She had a concussion and broke her jaw/ a rib.
My real disappointment is that the person who did it (even by accident.) didn't stop or anything.
>_<.

I, as well as most of the class didn't know what our biology teacher was reviewing.She got mad at us
I'm great in every other class except that one.
I felt stupid today(cries in the corner).

Whenever (most of the time if) a teacher does that, then I make them look stupid. Hey, I have the knowledge and resources to do so. I get sent to the principal afterwards.

OMG that's terrible!

Is she okay?

I just can't wrap my head around how someone can hit another person and just drive off! It's like stabbing/punching/shooting someone or something and just leaving. You can't just ignore the emotional distress your brain puts on your body (unless you're a sociopath, but that's a whole different thing).

Today she actually feels pretty good, she was laughing and smiling.
I feel like the people who drove off probably were scared because they hit her. I'm not mad at them per-say but I just want to know why they would keep going and not help the poor woman!

You must have great impulse control.

I would've hopped in a car and drove it into them. Either that or jabbing a stick in the wheels.

...

Again, I sound like a psychopath.

^
I forgot to mention, the other reason I'm not mad, is that they got a Surveillance tape of the whole thing going down, so they are gonna find them eventually.
^^

That's great to hear!

I hope it all works out for you guys!

As for me, I'm just sad and moody at random intervals every day. Unless something significant happens, I consider nothing in particular to be the most depressing thing of my day.

I've been feeling really weird lately. I'm happy (how can I not be with Awakening and Bit Trip Runner 2?) but randomly lately I've been beating down on myself. D: I randomly have self esteem issues. lol, it's weird. I keep telling myself something gonna go wrong and I'm not worth the attention of this one girl. When I know we're nice friends, so it's really weird. I'll just forget about it soon!

My tennis coach moved me from my school's Varsity practice squad to JV. I guess that isn't terribly surprising, especially considering how I stack up when compared to the rest of my school's Varsity squad, but it still hurts a lot, since I'm a senior.

So a friend of mine was expelled from school. It's been some time, and never questioned his absence because I thought he was sick. They spoke to my classroom today, never specified his actions but explaining that he was no longer a minor and could not get away from these things under the law. They also told us to not spread rumours and be careful with his younger brother because he has nothing to do with the matter and is still fragile. I can't help but feel curious though.. However I will still keep my mouth shut and stay alert. I hope for the best, he was almost like family.

I won the Star Wars PT box set off ebay for a reasonable price, and when I opened it the second disc to Ep. III was replaced with "The Story of Star Wars."
