Manners

Thu Mar 12, 2009, 4:10 PM
Since I 'nevah' submit any deviations (no world, I do not hate you enough to submit you to such evils) I manage to avoid the drama that all hard working (i.e. fun loving) artists seem to encounter despite making the baiting and enraging of foaming idiots part of my raison d'etre. No, that's not because I'm a professional bitch although my career gathers equal part adoration and loathing (and lust. lots and lots of lust but teenagers y'know...) but merely because I deplore wanton stupidity. (soooooo in the wrong line of work then)
But blessed as I am with the wisdom of Solomon (*snicker*) I vastly ignore the flaming wars of pre-teens and the actual acne ridden, hormonally crippled teens (Don't deny it. You've all been there. Some of us never leave and some of make a monthly visit) because a.) they don't know any better and b.) I believe that this the one period of your life where you can have a free license to act like a complete and utter wanker over such minor and irrelevant things. (Like Narusaku versus SasuSaku when any educated pillar would know that these are the pairings that inevitably turn out to be the most boring. Me, I prefer alternate pairings that task writers and prove to have crack value. Par example, Sakuhina, Sasuten, Saihina and yes I am rolling around on the carpeted floor laughing and doing it so hard I'll probably have rug burn in the morning)

But regardless of my babbling with my tongue wedged firmly in my cheek (The ideal placement in these particular situations) I have found that people tend to be politely suprised and politely appreciative (Are they all English? Hmmm) when I watch them or add them to my favourites. I keep getting comments to that effect saying "Thank you", "I can't believe you like my art enough to watch me" The comments are nice even if I feel them to be totally unnecessary.
It shows lovely manners to make such a comment but the way my wayward mind is wired I feel as if people are going out of their way to say thank you and feel vaguely guilty about the fact that I may decide to stop watching them. I would do it without remorse but the thank yous remind me that these people are much nicer than me. (Promptly throws the wrapper from a big mac at a helpless puppy)
I remember that a lot of people take things far more seriously than me (Shipping wars, flaming popular artists etc) and the fact that I'm intesively paranoid so I don't want to deal with backlash because I would take it on and I would WIN. But that would make things in the breakroom awkward. (Why yes, I am being facetious)
The Watchers really get me though. The clubs, I understand, it's part of their policy but why those (thankfully few) others? It seems like a waste to me, I don't poste anything.....ever. I watch so many then that I am seriously convinced that I have recently added people to my watchlist that I already thought I was watching.
Some people ask me why I hide all of the comments........um, OCD. Yeah, take that for your explanation, way more interesting than "I wanted to tidy it up"
People who leave thank you comments. You have such lovely manners. There must be a lot of proud mamas put there. 'Tis a shame that you choose to waste them on paranoid, suspicious and ungrateful lurkers such as me but I guess prefers a snarky stalker to "just another art thief".

Don't look here DX!!!
so I read your journal, and while you might just end up hiding this comment, I still feel inclined to tell you thanks for the watch.

From my perspective, if someone has enough interest to watch me (why I honestly don't know-- I'm horribly boring.) than it's only proper that I respond with some sort of gratitudeal (Note--not a real word.) expression of thanks. I don't get many watches, so every one is special to me, despite whatever reason that watch arose.

and as to why people watch you... it might be for the extensive and organized favorites you've collected. I perused some of them, and they're more than enough reason to watch you-- even if I wouldn't receive updates every time you fave something, the sheer thoroughness of your favorite folders impresses the hell outta me, and I wouldn't want such a precious reservoir of quality artwork to be lost in the dregs of internet anonymity.

so... ker'watch, whether you like it or not. ;P

P.S. And thanks again.

:giggle: You're horrid welcome m'dear.

And language is a living evolutionary concept. What isn't a word now may change in twenty years so consider yourself one riding the frontier of the english language. Pioneers dude, frontier life of the oxford english dictionary :XD:

Whether I like something or not is beside the point. I'm a big believer in freedom and also my freedom to question absolutely everything too!! :)

oh yeah-- one of my guilty pleasures is linguistic theory. I'm probably going to end up taking a linguistic class at some point next year, and I want to write a paper on the evolution (and some may argue, de-evolution) of modern speech--specifically, all the hyper-niched chatspeak the internet drums up.

and you're absolutely right...putting social norms to the question is one of the simple joys of life.
