Would you mind not taking my points, adding original thought, expanding on them and then presenting them nicely?
Thanks

I can't help that my views and insights into the world are always different than everyone else. All I want is for people to consider and think about what I have to say not look at me as some kind of madman. I can't help that I know things. If it were up to me I wouldn't know anything at all. I just want to be normal but I'm not. I just want people to see what I see. Every time though they immediately say I am wrong or call me names. I don't want to be special. I'd like to hide away from the world if I could. Sometimes you are and you can't change that. I want people to understand but they never will.
Music's been huge for me as well. Radiohead's given me the title and main theme for it already.
It's a comedy/drama called Weird Fishes, tying into the theme of "big fish in the small pond," and it's about high school seniors reflecting on their past/present/future before they part ways to go to college. That's really all I've got so far... that and some jokes/gags, one of them involving Stephen Hawking, so that's good.
It ain't gonna change the world, but it'll be fun to write.
"you're wrong, i'm write thing"

I am right. You will never understand what I am saying because you are unwilling to listen. You wish to speak and not examine. Call me what you, say about me what you will but I am right. I'm sorry that none of you will understand like most things.
My titles invariably reference music. My current main fiction project's title comes from a misheard Cure lyric - and given the amount of mishearing, miscommunication, and misunderstandings that are central to the story, I think that's quite appropriate. The title is Monuments Of A Ruined Cage, from "a monument to a ruined age" in Cold. The story itself examines the social disintegration of a fundamentalist religious community, and more centrally the mental disintegration of a character who loses his faith. The challenge is presenting a myriad of views separately, and I would hope different readers would come out of it seeing different characters as heroes - one may find the story to be the triumph of agnosticism, while another may see the success of fundamentalism in devoutly fighting the tide of modernism, and a third may see the illustration of a pressing need for social liberalisation within the context of Protestantism.
come here baby and gimme some suga
Sounds pretty interesting.
but see, there's no need to hide away man! i'm very much curious to hearing different opinions than my own. but i feel like you jump to the "you're wrong, i'm write thing", and i just think, as an observation, that it's actually ironic that you want people to see what you see...but you don't want to see what they see. you see?
Thanks. Now I just need time to continue writing! Damn university.
There is plenty of reasons to hide away. People aren't willing to listen what I bring the world. I do consider all opinions but some things are fundamentally true like what art is. I never should have opened my mouth. I should never say a word. I'm sorry.
see, when people challenge what you say, you don't need to just draw back into your shell and apologize for saying whatever you did. you didn't insult anyone or anything. you just need to learn how to engage in debatesThere is plenty of reasons to hide away.

then my work here is done.wtf. i don't even know how to respond to that.
exactly. and foolhardy is an awesome word.Fuck, dude. Don't say that kind of stuff. It's always great to hear different opinions, that's not the issue here. The only problem anyone has is the way in which you express them. No one's asking for you to change who you fundamentally are, that would be foolhardy, just that you have a little more tact when engaging in discussion with others.

whoa....your sig is centered!
If you want people to consider what you're saying and think about it, you should also show them the courtesy of responding with consideration and thought for their side.
