Monday, 17 May 2010 03:42 pmI think the hardest part of writing this paper is the lack of support. I can't ask my group for help, because I've already tried and all I got was "I think I BSed most of it. And repeated myself a lot, too." which is supremely unhelpful. And I can't ask my friends for help, because they're all writing about completely different topics. (Actually, I guess I should say wrote, since the full paper was due today. Have I mentioned I'm still on page two?) And I can't ask mum for help, because she's on the complete opposite side of my argument, so asking her for help would be counterintuitive. (Yes, Firefox, I spelled counterintuitive properly.)
Actually, it's not so much the lack of support as the lack of ideas. Except that normally, if I needed help with that, I would ask someone. Except I can't actually ask anybody.
...of course, if I don't get this done, mum will brutally murder me, so I guess I'd better suck it up and just try asking the group again. And, you know, hope I get an answer from someone. And in the meantime, I'll try throwing words at the page and hope they stick, because I already spent most of the day reading slash and looking at 4chan and the resulting plotbunnies are not helping.
(It's like when you're looking something, and you can find everything you've been looking for except for what you're actually looking for. Oh, sure, I've got a muse hitting me right now, it's just for everything except for what I'm actually supposed to be writing.)
And the unusefulness rears its ugly head! Kathleen replies, "gayrights.change.org has everything." Since my question was, "What are some of the topics you covered in your paper?" I feel rather justified in firmly believing that her answer is most definitely not an answer. B| At least mum can admit she's totally not helpful. (And I can't even reply, because Kathleen texted me back on somebody else's phone and I like Liz enough to not want to spam her with texts for Kathleen.)
...maybe the ever-enduring Fragrance of Dark Coffee will help me come up with something that isn't just regurgitating a bunch of news/blog posts.
