: 1)I have read the summaries. (Actually, I've printed the summaries and read the posts going back about a month--and I thought "War and Peace" was long.)
Thank you.
: 2)I am not an aspiring writer, filmmaker, or artist. I'm not depending on KS or anyone else to fill an aching void in my soul.
Finally, someone else who doesn't want to break into the movie biz.
: 3)I will never, ever, EVER, ask for a job, try to submit a manuscript, film, or screenplay. If I ever do, I would humbly ask any of my West Coast brethren to put a bullet in the back of my head.
That may be a little extreme but the intent is appreciated.
: 4)I really enjoy Kevin's creations, and I want to interact with you all on this board.
: My observations:
: 1)You all seem very bright.
Higher than average, certainly. Very bright? I'd say 3 or 4 people fit that description.
: 2)You don't suffer fools gladly.
Is there any place on the internet where fools are suffered gladly?
: 3)You have to be pretty thick-skinned to stay here.
All too true. Although there are some who need to get lost since they're disgustingly melodramatic.
: Fortunately, I am thick-skinned, so feel free to flame away. I hope to start interacting more with you all.
Your training is complete. Congratulations.
Welcome to the board, dude. If you stick around, I guarantee you'll be less vapid than most people here.
