CRFH comments

bladesparkFor once I have a comment on the current CRFH strip. I'm not putting it on the boards becuase I just don't feel like joining what I'm sure is a heated debate and argument, so I'll just say it here:
I always identified with Dave, rather than with any of the girls. Or at least I always used to. But as the story progressed I found myself being just a touch annoyed with him. Partly it was because he's been a bit spineless at times... but there was more that I coudln't quite pin down. Today, seeing Margaret's calm response to Dave and Blue's apparent situation, it suddenly dawned on me. I've been where Margaret is right now, in almost exactly the same position, and I felt almost exactly the same way! The thing that was annoying me about Dave is that he was acting like a couple of guys that have dated me and refused to leave me alone when I indicated that things wouldn't work. So now, despite the fact that I have no interest in guns (though a healthy fascination with sharp and pointy things) I find I suddenly identify with Margaret.
It's one of the hardest and also most annoying things in the world to have somebody who loves you, and all you can do back is break his heart...

Date: 2003-08-09 01:59 am (UTC)I'm pretty sure that some of the other LJ's out there have done this before on a professional basis. :p

Date: 2003-08-09 02:06 am (UTC)...but I could be mistaken...
I hope. :p

Date: 2003-08-09 02:10 am (UTC)That would be good. Being broke stinks.
Re: It's probably too late for anybody to read this...
Date: 2003-08-09 02:13 am (UTC)And yes, broke sucks.

Date: 2003-08-09 02:14 am (UTC)Hmmm... and we have at last exceeded the limits of my resolution's screen width, for I now have a little scroll bar at the bottom.

Date: 2003-08-09 02:57 pm (UTC)On the subject of professional blogging, however, all you need to do is get a following big enough that a) advertisers will pay for space in your blog, and b) readers will pay for a deluxe edition so they don't have to see the ads. Unfortunately, you can't do this on LJ, which is one of the reasons I publish my blog on my own site.
You see, I have Plans...
