My past week (and da intenetz)

Fraught with battles between my procrastinating self and sensible self.

I just wrote two narratives. They're pretty cool IMO. I'll post them if my English teacher approves of them.

Two big things bothering me:

I sent in my application for the 24h playwriting competition late. It'll only be received on Monday, and Theatreworks is holding two 24h writing workshops before then which will bring in more people to snap up my seat before then. If I don't get in... I can't believe I didn't send it in earlier. Fuck this. I'm calling them tomorrow to discuss this.

Two: A trailer I made for a contest didn't get selected for top ten. What really irks me is that terrible videos have been chosen instead. It has happened before. I'm disappointed, and some people at GZF are gloating and trolling me about my confidence that my trailer is top ten material (I still am convinced the judges were tards, or prejudiced against Asian players). I've even got a complaint about how I let them walk all over me. Lol. Moderating a forum full of ippy people who crave attention and get a kick out of "defying the system" can get unpleasant. It's also been such a learning experience that I included it in my DPA application for Psychology.

If Peak Oil doesn't plunge the world into catastrophe by the next few decades, your sons and daughters will be venturing out into the internet at a tender age. Yes, we're all used to MSN, blogspot, Google, torrents - but I have been to some of the more shady spots. Some of you have never even heard of 4chan, the webcomic phenomenon, internet memes (Over 9000), porn sites, sites that jack your browser, the cultures that sites like Youtube, Wikipedia, and Deviantart develop? Yes my first choice is FSV, but internet/youth psychology is still an attractive field of study for me.

It's only too bad that by the time I come out into the industry, my knowledge on youths will have become largely obselete. But hey - I still have the internet. That's the thing I love about it. If you don't go to the wrong places, people will judge you by what you say and do and make - not what you look like. That's one entire bunch of stereotypes down the drain.
