| Bio: | The old profile was irritating me and sounded pretentious. So...salient points of this LJ:
If you haven't checked your Flist in a long time and you're wondering who the hell this is because you missed the post, I used to be belletragedie. Rename tokens are convenient, aren't they?
Yes, I am the author and artist of Nihilism, if that's how you stumbled across this cesspit of mental effluvium. No, I'm not updating it right now, because I'm focusing on something more realistically attainable. No, I do not need to have comments in every post on how much you love or hate my comic. Thank you, you're sweet and all that razz, but there's places for that sort of thing.
I'm an aspiring novelist, and I tend to focus on characters from underrepresented minorities (whether by race, gender, or sexuality) in science-fiction and fantasy, where exotic races are rampant and yet non-Caucasian, non-heterosexual protagonists are minimal. I try not to turn it into an agenda instead of a perspective (a familiar one, for me), but may not always succeed. I'm an okay writer, sometimes good, sometimes too flowery, sometimes wandering all over the map like a drunken bumblebee. Working on it. Also working on nerving myself to handle criticism from a professional editor. I'll let you know how it turns out. If you're really that interested, that's why I try to update my writing blog daily--though that's usually even more droningly boring than this journal.
Yes, I am that guy, and yes, I do work for that website owned by that newspaper, and yes, I am a weekly-published-and-syndicated web journalist read by about 500,000 people per month. While I love getting paid to write: it's not as prestigious as it sounds, I have little to no clout, I'm one of 600 others just like me, and my title is virtually meaningless--so whatever you think I can do for you, sorry, I can't.
I'm gay. Not Elton-John-in-his-big-pink-sunglasses gay, but still gay. If that bothers you, don't read. I don't talk about my sex/romance life much, but I do like boys (men, I like men, I keep forgetting that I'm old enough now that "I like boys" makes me sound creepy), and if it crops up in idle mention, I'm not censoring myself.
This is only friends-only because I, being an immature snot when I was younger, got dooced several years back for venting my frustrations about my former job here. I was stupid. I admit it. Now, nothing that I post is public, and I've grown up enough to keep mention of work to a minimum, save for idle blather.
I'm not picky about adding people. If you add me then I'll check to make sure you're not someone I know in real life trying to haunt me, but that's about it; otherwise I'll likely add you in return.
Because of the whole friends-only thing, being on my Flist is more for your benefit (or detriment) than mine; therefore I rarely defriend people unless they ask to be defriended, even if I don't read them often (that's what filters are for). So if I randomly defriend you without a word, odds are you've been douching it up all over my Flist pretty damn badly to push me to that point. Don't question it. Just take the high road and walk on. Your life will not end over an LJ defriending.
I'm not a big commenter, nor do I expect constant deluges of comments to my entries. They're nice, sure, but I don't expect to receive what I rarely give. I read just about everything that crops up on my friends page, but tend not to comment because a.) I feel it's not my place on some sensitive matters; b.) I don't have anything helpful/constructive to offer; c.) someone else already said what I would have said, or d.) I'm just not interested in whatever anime/manga you're pitching an otaku-fit over this month. If I've got something worth saying or want to offer support, I'll comment. Otherwise, I keep my mouth shut.
I'm not white, and sometimes I'm going to bitch about the assumptions regarding white majority vs. non-white "minority". I'm heavily mixed, two types of Asian and Native American and some other junk, and at times I tend to rant about assumptive complacency and how it affects minorities in a Western culture. If that bothers you, don't read. I'm not saying I don't like white people (I'd better, since most of my friends are white). I'm saying that I don't like Western ignorance, no matter the race of the person expressing it. Even if it's me. Skin color aside, I was raised in America, in modern pop culture. I'm just as guilty of some of the things that bug me.
There is no more sex filter. Don't ask. My business. There are other filters, but if you're not on them, consider yourself lucky, because you're being spared my whinier moments.
I. Am. Boring. If you're looking for vitriol, sorry, I outgrew hopping around like an angry monkey with his pants on fire for others' amusement. You'll most likely see more junk about me worrying about finances and shopping lists and writing than anything else.
I talk a lot here, and tend to vent all of my minor frustrations via this LJ. It's at once representative of who I am, and entirely misleading. I don't talk much in real life, and I don't express things that tend to find their way onto this journal. This isn't representative of the things always on my mind. It's representative of the things that I want to get off my mind so I can get on with my life.
Unless it's about writing. I'm always thinking about writing.
Well. That still sounds pretentious. But at least it's now easily dissected into a bulleted list, with some of the "look at me, I think being an asshole makes me special" removed. |
