Sep. 6th, 2010 08:56 amDear Inception Fandom, please please tell me that somebody has written the story in which the superteam end up in Nash's dream for some handwavey plot reason, and Nash's dream is some weirdass parade shit and some dude giving him a medal.
Speaking of My Chemical Romance and Inception, yesterday I was like "almost everyone says 500 Days of Summer is total crapsticks, and so I have not seen it. But Marc Webb directed it! I am confused and conflicted!". And then Audrey pointed out that though he has directed many excellent things, Marc Webb was also responsible for the 'I Don't Love You' video. So I am not confused anymore at the idea that his movie might not be good. But on the other hand, it has Chloe Moretz and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tracy Phillips in it! I remain conflicted about whether to see it or not.
On Friday Audz and Erinna gave me a copy of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories as a present because I finished writing the Wolf House series. On Sunday I was talking to my mother on the phone and I ended up sobbing uncontrollably because I don't know how to cope with people giving me presents, because I am a hideous fraud who has somehow tricked people into liking me and it makes me upset when these people demonstrate a baseless fondness for me.
I mean, I got a royalty statement on the weekend, and this year so far I have sold 23 copies of book 1, and 29 copies each of books 2 and 3. That is an abject fucking failure by every standard ever devised. That doesn't deserve video games, that deserves cigarettes being put out in my eyes and kicks in the ribs with steel-toed boots. And what makes it even worse is when people say 'the print version will be easier to sell', because that just proves that they just. don't. see that I'm a failure and a fraud. Their idea of me is based on a lie and they give the lie video games and it is VERY UPSETTING.
