A lot of people would be prolific in a lot of things if they could make money from it. Unfortunately, that's not how the world works. You need to make your own motivation, OP - or start writing original fiction and sending it off to paying zines.

I will personally also note people who use "G-d". Why do you even have to say "God" anyway? Couldn't you come up with something else?

Of course this is coming from someone who grew up with the "Do not take God's name in vain" thing, so I never say "God" and an exclamation. I can come up with plenty of other things.

Given my bus system has a pay-card system, I can sympathise there. Problem is, I feel a bit the same about people who get money put on their go-cards on the bus.

Doesn't it seem pretty clear from the secret that OP is already interested in creative writing for its own sake but has problems with writer's block and is now wondering if money would be the extra push they need to get going?

I was commenting more on the direction the thread had taken than on the actual secret.

People who block the aisle in stores.

Yes. Very yes. Also, when a large slow group block up a whole corridor in a shopping centre.

So where does EL James fit in?

Looks like 90s political correctness gone mad coming around again.

The escalator issue drove me crazy when I lived in New York. Mostly it was subway escalators and people standing on the left side when there's an unspoken rule that's reserved for walkers. It's the New York subway dammit, we're all in a hurry. Go to a department store if you want to stand around on an escalator and gawk at your surroundings.

I want to try answering this so here we go:

- some places snow, especially any mountains, some bits if Tasmania, Victoria, Canberra...Sydney gets freak hailstorms with giant baseball ice every 5 years or so.

- depends in the state - some places require a license, some do not. I'm not aware if it being completely illegal but you do need permission.

- yes

- Every girl is a Sheila but we have English names to avoid confusing tourists. It is punishable by drop bear for a non Australian to call a girl Sheila.

- on phone, cannot load video :(

- Canadians I'm afraid. They ride moose and have beaver hats!

- - mandatory readings include ; snugglepot and cuddlepie, muddleheaded wombat, silver brumby and the magic pudding.

- nah you're thinking of schoolies week (not that I'm aware of but I grew up rural and poor)

- well girl wise royal blue is fucking everywhere.

- salty, fast and burnt (it's a national mix. Asian fare is common, as is steaks. Mexican not so common. Vietnamese, Italian, all kinds if stuff. Guess it'd majorly depend on your area. )

- we like New Zealand in the 'brother /sister we rag on" kind of way. There's a clause somewhere that if nz changes it's mind it can come join us anytime. Also no passport is needed to visit between us.

- yes no yes no...I'm not sure it was approved in ACT but prime ministers have a habit of overturning it. Some states have a registration where you get benefits but are not married.

- yes! Honestly it's really boring? Sure the social awareness things are fun but the circle itself is small and everyone has dated everyone else. Act was better at the social side than Melbourne though.

- drop bears, hoop snakes, the cannible family descended from an escaped convict, haunted houses based around convicts, the one about a cyclist murderer in tassie turned out to be true, stories about people riding bikes and accidentally falling under a truck and being be headed

Ok gotta get if bus :D

O: I don't know if I warrant a whole resolution but... I am so happy.

Thank you othellia you are the best!

Edit: nooo how I typo'd your name I am the worst D:

USA. West Coast.

(I am an American, and also enjoy baseball, which is much easier to talk about)

Another Anon.

How do you report?

I love how you don't understand logic.

wow people are just searching for reasons not to like her at this point

Man, I had the most facepalm-worthy moment the other day when someone messaged me to ask why I was talking about the Japanese's tendency to "whitewash" their own history when it has nothing to do with race. And here you are.

This is kind of a pojntlessly jaded comment. They're not literally saying "I will LEAVE!!!!" they're saying "this is a Bad Thing, and we should not even considering going down this road." Does this really need to be explained?

Please tell me you are kicking back a chunk of that to the original author.

But KLK is so ridiculous... one of the characters has glowing nipples and a glowing anus.

How about it being none of the hell of your business judging and sneering at this person ad clearly thinking all the crap OP thinks will be thought? You don't know them, quit trying to analyse their subconscious.

Oooh, 'issues'.

Judgemental ass. People like and dislike different things to you, who's to say you are the "normal" one?

Hey! Some of us happen to love BOTH starlight-drunk Tauriel and poop-covered Radagast...

A *TUMBLR* does not--not even by a mile, not at all--qualify as a "full story." And that particular one--though it can serve as a starting point for discussion--is, well, problematic.

Does having an opinion mean they have to be willing to debate it?

I can understand the annoyance if the person believes something that's just wrong (as in, can be proven wrong), especially if it's an idea that's caused harm.

But on the other hand, people who feel entitled to arguments and conversations can bug me, maybe because I know people who like to argue for the sake of arguing, and not necessarily about facts, but actual opinions and really trivial things. And so of course they don't use facts to back up their arguments, they rely on yelling over you, constantly interrupting, twisting everything you say, putting words in your mouth (and if you say "I didn't say that," they you get the nasty "no, YOU IMPLIED IT" and even if you didn't, what can you say to that?) and if all else fails snarling some supposedly devastating insult at you and stomping off. And when someone tries to do that constantly, it can be emotionally draining, and yeah I just don't want to get into "debates" with them.
