Nothing like a bit of LJ therapy...

ash48Ahhhh yes. LJ. There's no place like my internet home. *snuggles* I've been feeling so (stupidly) down recently and I finally got up the energy to visit LJ again and it's amazing how my spirits lifted. There's nothing quite like coming to a place that feels so comfortable.... hmmm.... is that weird?
I think it must have all started with the internet being denied me on SPN night, and thus also missing the post show squee, followed by a ridiculously busy weekend, being back at work and finishing a vid that just doesn't work. In any way. *sigh*
Which leads me to a question to fellow vidders... How often, if at all, do you ditch a vid? And not just a vid idea, but one that you've actually spent quite a bit of time on? To the point of finishing even? And if it's not working do you work it until you got it right or clock it up as a fail and move on? I realise this might be dependent on the actual vid, but maybe I'm just needing to know that I'm not the only one to make a vid that just doesn't work. *meep* or maybe I am.
I kinda didn't mind ditching my Jo and Ellen vid because I suppose I didn't connect to it so much (plus I'm thinking of resurrecting it in a different way later on - maybe), but I'm finding I do mind ditching this one because I am quite attached to it but have NO idea how to fix it. And it's pissing me off and depressing me at the same time. :(
Oh bugger. I'm wearing my heart of my sleeve. But maybe the therapy works both ways....
In happier news I finally caught up with my show and.... LOVE!!!! \o/ There's heaps to squee about but the only one that I'll mention is how impressed I was with the performances. I find myself often watching performances (probably the actor in me) and I enjoyed the honesty and convictions the actor's brought to what might have been somewhat cheesy or awkward moments. A very satisfying episode.
That's me. Strangely I'm already feeling more energised. :)

Date: 2010-02-09 02:31 pm (UTC)I was going for a kind of nostalgia, mixed with a kind of tongue in cheek nudge at fandom for the way we lament the "good 'ole days" and at the same time comparing some of those heart breaking "welcome back kotter" lines with "as long as I'm around nothing bad's gonna happen to you" lines...
Just not quite getting the mix right. But I'd like to. The idea of seeing where we are now and reflecting back appeals to me a bit..
