The Bilson Archives

I’m hopeless at writing on this thing, aren’t I?

Anyway, Blogathon is this Saturday night, though technically the official Blogathon is not running this year and has been ‘replaced’ with Day of Blogs. Same idea, same concept, just being run by a different ’something’ this year. For this adventure of 49 posts, I have decided to write a HP or a DV fanfic.

The question therefore is: what do you want to see?

Astral projection?
AtC stuff?
Vegas?
Ten Weapons?
Council?

You tell me. All comments containing a vote will be counted.

So, my friend Jaimie is nuts. About webcomics. And for some reason, she decided to get me involved in reading them. And having nothing better to do, I shall recommend them to you!

Questionable Content

Questionable Content follows the trials and tribulations of Marten, Faye, Dora, Hanners and their assorted friends and… other acquaintances. Whilst the artwork is not that great in the beginning, it does improve and until that point, does very well in terms of its plot and storyline–enough to make up for the bad artwork in my opinion.

Be warned, some may find it not to their taste.

Girl Genius

I’m still trying to get through the archives, so I can’t say much about this so far. The main character seems to be an Agatha Clay, who is… well, frankly I’m not sure. But it’s captured my attention, so it could capture yours.

Let others know a little more about yourself. Repost this with your name followed by “ology”.

Eris, I am so evie pissed off right now.

How hard is it to accept that you believe one way and another person believes another way? Why do you have to constantly rip into the other person for simply believing something that you don’t?

You’ve claimed at one point that you don’t get why intelligent people believe things you don’t believe, merely because you thought about them and discovered how they don’t make sense with your worldview. You’ve also claimed that you only want to talk about subjects of fascination to you where you and the other person have wildly differing viewpoints.

Well, get these facts through your head:

1. You don’t actually HAVE to get why intelligent people believe something you don’t. You can just let them believe without ever saying anything to them. And this claim of yours very much comes strongly across as you implying that unless people believe exactly what you believe, they’re dumb.

2. Your worldview is YOURS, not anyone else’s. I know where you got yours from. And I know where I got mine from. They’re radically evie different.

3. Talking about something does NOT involve ripping into people because they don’t share your worldview or viewpoints.

4. Your approach consistently leaves people NOT wanting to talk to you about subjects.

You claim to know points two and four, but honestly, I don’t think you do, or if you do, you just don’t give a damn. That’s the impression I consistently get from you–that you only care about your opinion to the point of saying it no matter what, because you don’t care about the people who have to listen to it.

In no particular order.

1. Getting messaged on YIM asking if I’m there, especially if they’re offline messages. I am not opposed to offline messages in general, just the ones that query if I’m there. One, if I’m registering as offline, then it’s a pretty safe bet that I am indeed offline. Two, sometimes I have problems and I therefore go invisible to a majority of people because I can’t deal with talking at those times.

2. The double standard of not wanting people to do things to you, but you doing things to them.

3. The double standard of not wanting people to say certain things about you, but you saying those things about them.

4. People who always believe they’re right and can’t accept that other people might be right.

5. People not being allowed to give an opinion just because it’s ‘not helpful’ or ‘not what we need to hear’, according to some other person.

6. The same person as in the latter half of #5 then giving their own opinion, even though it is equally ‘unhelpful’ and ‘not what we need to hear’ and no one is allowed to say anything without becoming the bad guy.

Hmm. That’s all I can think of for now.

I quit writing until it can be fun for me again. Writing when it’s not fun doesn’t work.

I broke up with my girlfriend. We managed to patch things up to the extent that we will work on our problems, but we’re discovering that it’s really, really hard, as our positions are often extreme opposites.

My phone bill is $50 for $310 credit and that credit doesn’t include overseas calls. Oh well, I can manage–not like I call overseas much anyway.

Other than that, I did some charity collection today and got my street to donate forty-three dollars and five cents.

Wow. So much time’s gone past since I last blogged. Life is just… wow, lately. I’ve not really had time to come here and blog all that much. Hmm. I’d say I was going to try blogging once a week, but I’m sure I’d screw that up. *sad*

Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of writing. I have a number of incomplete stories.

1. ZtLCTotS.
2. WToTL.
3. TRD.
4. CFT.
5. LWY.
6. CT.
7. FFX:TDotP.
8. TLotT.
9. TMotORAOS.
10. CR.
11. DV crossover.
12. Some story.

I really need to finish them all. But I’m not.

I want to play more of FFX and start on FFXII, which I’ve only heard about from Brit.

Oh, Jaimie got me to join PFW. It is a great site and I like it!

1. I’m not dead. I’ve just not been blogging. It seems like I have very little to say anymore, which kind of sucks.

2. I have been playing FFX lately–and I STILL hate blitzball–and sooner or later, I intend to do the Lulu-only Challenge on it.

3. I bought a second PS2 recently, and plan to buy FFX-2.

4. At some point, I shall play FFXII, which my father got me for Christmas.

5. I enjoy talking to my modimo and tyraimi.
