Creativity Disclaimer
In the past, I've willingly made layouts, icons, and other LJ related things for my friends. But sometimes, I'll be asked to do something. I'll agree, most of the time with good will, because it isn't a big thing, and I like to. I'll say "Sure, I'd be happy to! Just email me with specs, right?" or "No problem just give me the link to that image." And because sometimes I won't get the images/color prefs/the go-ahead I request, nothing will happen, because I don't know what to do. I'll make nothing. And then, sometimes, someone will come up to me and say "Hey, why haven't you made such and such for me?" And then I will feel guilty.
So here is the thing. I'm just saying. It isn't my fault. It's yours. If you can't get me the images somehow/email me with information/pester me with specifics it is YOUR FAULT. Not only is it your fault, but it is rude to request something from me and then not follow up, because it puts the responsiblity on my shoulders to ask you about it every time I talk to you. I'm pretty messed up as it is, and I don't want to have to deal with not wanting to bother you about it, and feeling like I'm supposed to anyway.
Therefore, I absolve myself of responsibility, because I'm sick of feeling guilty. I'll refer anybody who asks me for something to this post in the future, just so they know that it is up to them to get me what I need. THE END. If they don't, no shit for them, and I'm not going to care.
Anyway, I know this is a silly thing to talk about. But it's silly to feel guilty about something that isn't my fault or problem, and so this post is to reassure myself and bolster my self-esteem.
