logomancer: Xerxes from System Shock 2 (Default)

It seems like when something finally goes right in the world for me, something always comes to negate that small little victory.

Positive: I have the internets back, thanks to Adelphia and their willingness to sell me a crippled Internet connection for more than DSL rates.

Negative: I got ousted as SOAP president, thanks mainly to [livejournal.com profile] nius deciding, on a whim, that SOAP needed new leadership. No clue why they needed new leadership, just that they do, and the rest of the group agreed with them. Thus, my plan to distinguish myself from everybody else by being President of 3 organizations at once has failed. I am at a loss for what I can do now to make up for it. I can't draw better than [livejournal.com profile] kittenchan or [livejournal.com profile] rainbowsaber or [livejournal.com profile] aburatsubodream. I can't write good fiction. I can't computer geek better than [livejournal.com profile] vond or [livejournal.com profile] nius or [livejournal.com profile] yubbie. So I look for a way to distinguish myself and possibly gain respect among the others in the one place nobody else seems to have staked a claim, and I get it taken away from me because of one man's opinion that someone new needs to do it for a change. I'm not sure what else to do now except toil away in obscurity.

As emo as I'm sure you're feeling right now, let me remind you that you still have two organizations to take care of. You now have more free time you can devote to them. It isn't the number of organizations you have authority over; it's how well you exercize that authority and lead the club(s) for which you are a President.

You say you want respect and to be noticed, right? Instead of demanding it and obsessing over what you can't do, why not focus on what you can do? You'd make a good comedian if you were less pessimistic about things. Remember "If I Only Were a Goth" from Technicon? That took nads, not to mention a decent sense of comedic timing.

In short, don't sweat it, and look for ways to distinguish yourself besides a laundry list of clubs. Hang in there and smile- your mistres commands it!

Hugs,
Carly

And I am appalled at my spelling in that last post. No more commenting before I go to work.

Going to get more caffeine now...

OO, yeah, listen to this one, Andrew. Is better than what I wrote anyway!
