the boron narratives

a realization: so we were having a b&s writing session, and i had finished a few things and was sort of stuck for ideas, and aron asked what i was interested in writing about... and i said, well, i guess usually i just write about things that piss me off, and over break i was sort of cut off from the news, so i don't have anything new to be angry about.

which, while being flippant, was true.

and then i realized that almost everything i write is driven by anger. seriously. my fanfic? all about things that piss me off, in one way or another. sometimes it's not as obvious, because the fic itself might have been prompted by some sort of anger at the fandom. (a lot of my kuroro fics are like that... things where it was like, "hey fandom, what about this? how come no one's writing about this?!")

and i never really considered myself an angry person. but i guess i really kind of am. (i'm actually kind of interested in this now... leave me a comment, if you would, regarding your thoughts on my level of angriness ^_^)

and so i will leave you with two quotes and then i will go to bed.

humor is just anger that has been to finishing school. -- richard peck

and

if you're not angry
you're just stupid
or you don't care
how else can you react
when you know
something's so unfair
the men of the hour
can kill half the world in war
make them slaves to a super power
and let them die poor
