hmmm.
Y'know, guy at the Progeny meeting whose name I don't know, and now don't particularly care to...
I'm sorry that blurry pictures of the disaster in Haiti didn't draw the reaction you wanted them to; our school's printers suck. The rest of the group wasn't laughing at what happened, and I'm oh so sorry that nobody jumped on your prompt bait of 'write about the disaster'. First of all, douchenozzle, you aren't the head editor, prompting is not your business. Second of all, nobody could make out what was in your pictures, so it's hard to write about a reaction to a picture when you can't see what the fuck it is.
Thirdly, I'm sorry "we weren't being serious enough" and "I just wanted to see what it takes to get a rise out of you guys" because "you take everything as a joke" annoys you. Our Progeny group, for the most part, is comprised of people who know each other, enjoy being in each other's presence; Progeny is not a srsbsnss group, you know? We joke, we talk about what we've done today, we chatter and are dorks. Not everything has to be "okay, here's what to write about, now go". It's a fucking ~writer's support group~. I'm ever so sorry ~we wasted your time~, but if you have shit to do, why would you show up in the first place? It wasn't your first time going to a meeting. You know how things go.
Last of all, not everybody is inspired by the same things you are. I'm glad you think there's something inspirational about artistic nudes of women with flowers over their crotches, but I really kind of don't. Does that mean that I don't "think outside the box"? No, not really. I just don't understand the whole business of ~artistic nudes~ where you have a skinny women, get her naked, and it's OMGART. It doesn't inspire me, and it doesn't mean I'm ~inside a box~. It means that I'd prefer for your pictures to 1)not be existent since you are not the fucking head editor and 2) not be blurry and washed out like our school printers tend to make pictures.
Your self-righteous indignation won you no friends, and guess what? We weren't particularly chastised by your literary RAEG. I'm ~so glad~ you're going to try again next week when maybe we'll have our heads out of our asses, but honestly? It'll probably go the same way, but I doubt anyone'll talk to you if they don't have to.
You didn't win the argument. Sorry.
P.S. I'm a better writer than you.
P.S.S. Your "story" was a fucking soapbox rant on what people ~aren't doing right~ in Haiti.
P.S.S.S. Some people don't want to write on the disaster in Haiti because, guess what? We're college students in fucking Defiance Ohio who aren't affected, and haven't been affected by anything of that caliber. Please, take Postcolonial lit to learn about why "writing for the colonized"/minority doesn't fucking help, hm?
P.S.S.S.S. Suck my dick.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
