I'm a writer, and I've been working on this "saga" for the past 8 years. I nearly wound up working with a producer who put me through all sorts of shit, intentional or not, and I never want to go through that again. I lost 3 friendships as well, because of that. 2. I had a crush on this girl in highschool and we were pretty close as friends. But because Mr. Producer verbally abused her, calling her a destructive amateur, she refused to have anything to do with me and my friends. After all we've been through, then she called me a gutless 2-face coward, WHICH I'M NOT. Then she flirted with my best friend AFTERWARD!!! 3. Everything built to a climax yesterday. a) I attend a funeral of a person who was like one of the last remaining links to my childhood, and I hate people dying! b) I get home, after a 2-hour drive there and back, and that girl started her shit all over. I couldn't handle it. c) Then the computer temperature went out of control and my hard-drive collapsed (CPU error) d) My best friend starts blaming me, but I know nothing about tech. and I had no idea that I had faulty fans etc. So the hard-drive could be buggered! THRILLING!!! e) I decide to watch a video, but the VCR won't work. To move the frame with the TV is like moving 10 fridges. I wasn't going to break my back simply so I could find one little obscure cord in amongst all the spaghetti. But I was still pissed off. Everything's just come together, like that song on "Bat Out Of Hell 2", LIFE IS A LEMON, and they all scream "It's Defective!" everything time a question is asked. I'm so out of it, frustrated, upset, depressed, helpless and almost numb.

Replies adv Posted at 4:31 am on Feb. 23, 2008 Just bumping this thread to let you know that this week has been continually crazy. My friend came home, a day after I first posted here, to find his kitchen charred and in smithereens. The girl who's been living with him left her waxing wax on the stove and it ignited. She threw water at it, but the flames spread. The whole kitchen was covered in flames. I've got photos of the aftermath and it made the local news. The girl's paying for everything, I can't imagine how my friend reacted, and all I could think was, "you're joking?" Seriously, this week has been completely insane. What did I do? Break a mirror or something? adv Posted at 6:46 am on Feb. 19, 2008 Don't worry, me and the producer were through months ago. I originally stuck up for my friend but it wasn't that simple. You couldn't just stick up, because you were inundated with dozens of emails from this producer. All of a sudden, you were a destructive person yourself in a million theories pulled from the clouds. It was the most mind-numbing experience of my life. He's all-round OK, I reckon, but he went through so much shit in his life-experience that it rebounded on other people. It was like this cycle. I couldn't take it anymore. There was nothing simple about it. My friend thought it was "simple as that", which it essentially was, but I was torn in so many ways that I couldn't make a decision that would please everyone. Besides, he'd done soooooo much more for me than she ever did. She disappointed me and broke my heart twice. I'm not saying that excuses anything, but still... My head gets sore thinking about it. Mulenmar Posted at 6:33 am on Feb. 19, 2008 Yo, fellow writer! 8~) At least you finished your saga... But seriously...the girl yelled at you because YOU DIDN'T STAND UP FOR HER!! There are other agents out there, you know. Prove to her that you're a man by dumping that agent and finding another one that won't dis her. adv Posted at 6:30 am on Feb. 19, 2008 I don't have any ice cream :( But I really like coffee. Problem is, I ran out of milk all at the same time :( I'm sitting here with ginger beer and it's not pretty. miserysbusiness Posted at 6:26 am on Feb. 19, 2008 Eat ice cream, that will make you feel better...well maybe Cpt Wtf Posted at 6:26 am on Feb. 19, 2008 that sucks A LOT sorry man, go smash the producers head in lol All 6 previous replies displayed.
