That being said, I can usually deflate her like this- I'll write down the accusations and then critically pick them apart, noting where she's exaggerating, overgeneralizing, name calling and other theatrics that <I>sound</I> nasty but aren't supported by any evidence. This usually shuts her up.Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-34077968325891607712008-05-12T22:36:00.000-07:002008-05-12T22:36:00.000-07:00Critic Namowal is simply mean.

Since 13, I have had a grand total of ten nightmares.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize when I was young, but some faction of my psyche got a rush from generating imagery that frightened me. Kind of like the thrill of a carnival ride. Then it would go too far and I'd generate images so scary I'd wake up and cry.<BR/><BR/>After I realized this, thought about it critically, I got all the bits of my psyche to stop being so insolent and all of my dreams have cooperated since.<BR/><BR/>Id you think critically (pun) about what drives Critic Namowal to be so mean, perhaps you can steal her thunder and convince her to become a more constructive (and probably more seamless) part of your persona? :)<BR/><BR/>- - JesseJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390562527411424893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-41088032178692131662008-05-08T08:31:00.000-07:002008-05-08T08:31:00.000-07:00Thanks, Sally,It is funny how the suits shy away ...Thanks, Sally,<BR/>It <I>is</I> funny how the suits shy away from anything out of the box, considering each hit (or classic) thing usually is (or at the time was) a departure.Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-57358822802989364632008-05-07T19:17:00.000-07:002008-05-07T19:17:00.000-07:00Namowal, you're in the company of weirdos, and we ...Namowal, you're in the company of weirdos, and we like it that way.<BR/><BR/> Most people in authority (editors , suits etc) are suspicious of artwork/ concepts that don't resemble what they already know is cute/hip/acceptably weird.
