The Inner Workings of a Chibi.
15, 19

These are coming late because I had to finish editing last night.

15.  Favorite Movie:  It’s subject to change, but this year so far it’s Man of Steel and Pacific Rim  :)   Two movies I can watch at any time (as in if you’re watching it I’ll be right over) are Office Space and Mortal Kombat (as cheesy as it is)

19.  Something about your personality:  I do like to approach things calmly, not getting pissed off or getting upset.  I really do try.  I think responding to things calmly is more effective than being angry (case in point: me getting bullied about my cosplay and responding by frying chicken and being like, “Yeah I got made fun of it happens now excuse me while I put on a Disney princess dress.”)  

Now this doesn’t mean I don’t get pissed off.  Don’t get it twisted, I’m not all smiles all the time I do rant and I do yell and I do curse.  Just ask my partner.  But I do think it’s best to let things process through your mind before you do something.  For example, when I write something and it gets rejected, my first thought is to respond to the email.  But no, no no no, no.  Because at that point I’m upset and maybe even a bit pissed off because I put a lot of work into the thing I wrote only to get a no.  So I step away from the email, take a breath, and do something other than writing.  Because I know if I go into writing at that point I’ll be writing angry, and that’s not good.

Now, this does not mean you let people walk all over you.  One comment I got when I wrote my article was to “stop whining,” and to, “laugh it off,” when someone makes fun of you.  For one, being called names is not funny.  It is not a laughing matter.  I laugh at things that are funny, and being called names is not funny.  Also, I hate that when someone stands up for themselves it’s “whining.”  It’s a double-edged sword.  Half the world wants you to not take anyone’s shit.  The other half wants you to stop overreacting because “you should just smile and ignore it.”  Well, I smiled, I smiled as I wrote that article and told people to not let the comments get to them and to just go out and have fun  <3
