Re: [OT: Aiming For the Knees]

[Phoen Dusk <PhoenDusk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, after watching BtVS for seven long, sometimes grueling seasons, I
have truly mastered the art of reading subtext. Here, then, as a basis
for any Psychology Masters' Theses, is my interpretation of Mad
Hamlet's interpretation of my short post.

While MH has some solid skills as a writer, he still lacks that certain
flare that people, such as... well, I won't say myself, but I will
mention Pat Kelly (who just recently posted part 1 of 3 of a new story
on the BuffyNFaith list), possess. I'm just closer, and MH begrudgingly
accepts this.
How he knows that I fit the literal definition of the word is beyond me.

MH is in desperate need of comfort, feeling adrift in his attempt to
keep everyone isolated. His misuse of the word "marshmallow" offers a
world of possibility, most likely that he desires someone to squeeze
and hold but is too embarrassed to admit it to anyone, even himself.
And the fact that I'm a little round shouldn't be held against me.

Okay, no ideas on this one. Never even owned one of those fugly toys.

> > > Okay, so maybe we have some similarities...

In this, he feels we were separated at birth, two halves of the same
whole, never quite complete without the other. I've tried to point out
the differences in our age, but he keeps blindly looking past that
aspect.
Hmmm, still not sure where he's going with this overall.

Cabbage patch... oil and water... devil spawn?

Someone alert Shadow and Tater! Mad Hamlet is planning to douse the
demonic cabbages in oil and set them on fire! All citizens of the Woods
Outback are hereby forewarned to take action now to prevent this...
tragedy?

Ah, Hell, you want a hand with that one, MH?

This comment wasn't actually directed at me. While it might be
partially directed at some of the people at ME (*cough*Noxon*cough*),
it is mostly a reflection of MH's view of himself and his skill as a
writer. He hopes that, one day, he will be considered good enough to
publish a series of trite Harlequin romance novels with an 80 year-old
Fabio as the cover model.

See how desperate he is for attention? He even needs to advertise his
websites in the hope that someone, ANYONE will come to view that which
he has tried to create. Sadly, the hit counter hasn't moved into double
digits yet on either site.


Okay, short of this turning into "Deliverance," we should stop the
dueling now -- or at least move it somewhere less visible. Now, I need
to work on some fics and get C&C done for others. There's still a
challenge or three I need to finish (I hate college writing courses).

Beacuse someone has to be,
