None and none. I'm not a fan of hip-hop and certainly don't have anything coming even close to a favourite, or even least hated, song or album. It just doesn't register on my radar. I mean, I heard some very good hip-hop albums when doing the 2017 Wiki list thread, but I never listened to any of them again, nor would I.

I wouldn't waste the spunk on her.

It's like everything isn't it: you just need the break; right person to read what you've written, but that's not likely ever to happen, so I've more or less locked that dream away in a closet, along with all my other hopes and ambitions, up there in the dusty darkness.

In fairness, I can't blame anyone. I never really tried. The stuff I wrote was too long for short stories and too short for novels, so there it is. What ya gonna do? Vanilla/Celladorina did offer to look at some of my stories, as she has contacts in Penguin I think, but I've yet to hear back. She's probably still laughing.

RUssia/Ukraine war
[quote]
Considering I have a whole thread about this it seems somewhat redundant to ask the question. However obviously I feel Russia is aggressively trying to re-establish its old empire, and I think Putin has made a grave miscalculation; he didn't expect either Ukraine to be so tough a target (AND to fight back!) nor the support they're getting from the rest of the west. I'd imagine in his whatever-he-uses-for-a-heart of hearts, he wants to pull back and sue for peace, but he's such a hard man he'll never do that. **** him.

IRan/Saudi war

I know nothing about this, did not even know there was one.

You have a crystal ball, do you? Again I know nothing of this, other than that the US is pledged to support Taiwan so again it could be a spark for World War III, all nations welcome to Hell.

I know that boat, and I've been aboard for a while now.

I can only offer some encouraging words, as in "It's never too late".

At what point does a diary become a journal?
Are all diaries journals or are all journals diaries?
And how does a memoir fit into all this?
If you write enough journals, should you just do an autobiography at that point?

That's what normal people are asking.

I have a question for Trollheart.

Where are youuuuu?

Trollheart · 11-11-2022, 02:19 PM

Back now. Major power outage with Virgin Media since yesterday afternoon; they only got it fixed in the last few hours.

As to BP's questions, let's see:

1. A diary and a journal are often the same thing, however not so here, as a diary is generally not meant to be read by anyone but the person who writes it (can't think of what you call that type of person - person who writes - writing person? Writist? It'll come to me). Also in case you were wondering, no, a dairy is something entirely different, and so is a diorama.

2. No

3. It doesn't; there's no room

4. When you become famous; nobody cares otherwise.

rubber soul · 11-11-2022, 02:44 PM

Was wondering what was up. was afraid something had happened to Karen or something.

Anyway, glad you're back.
