   Sheesh! Tough Crowd!!

Bah.

So my interview which I thought was pretty good, probably my best yet, has already been voted down. Ouch. I guess people out there are tough critics. Last I checked it was now tied as my lowest rated article yet. Bah. Apparently the article was not interesting to some people. I guess this just goes with the nature of the work, you can't please all the people all the time. I suppose the worst part for me is the fact that I was really excited about this article and there are people poo-pooing on my parade.

Part of me feels hurt and wishes I could find out who these poo-pooers are so I could tell them to do an interview of their own and let's see how well they do! They should at least have the guts to say why they didn't like it! It also feel like turning into Roberto from Futurama:

I'm gonna go practice my stabbin'!

Another part of me feels like I should just let it go since we all know what there are lots of people who just go around, mindlessly voting down articles and art for some pseudo sense of power.

Me vote NO, Me vote NO...


I could probably ramble on and on about who/what/why people voted my article down. I really need to get over the percentile of my article. I think I should have a bishie break right now.

I should take Sanzo's advice...or else!


I need to concentrate on the positive comments. There were people who enjoyed my interview and one of the comments I got said the following: "I read an interview on her in an Animerica magazine once. She is so impressive! I hope to amount to her status one day! This interview was way more insightful than Animericas". I appreciate all the positive comments from everyone and have to remember that the NO voters didn't even bother to say why they didn't enjoy the interview. All you guys who left me positive feedback and enjoyed my article, you rock my panda socks! The ones who didn't enjoy it...

At least I got to meet someone in the anime industry I admire.


My question for today is this: What kind of articles/interviews would you like to see on theOtaku?

I have a few ideas of who I want to interview next. I would really like to know who you guys would like to hear from. Leave me a comment and let me know.

For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere every February 20th is "Hoodie-Hoo Day"! On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo". It is a day to chase away winter and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere are sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun. So "Hoodie-hoo" to you!

Well, I am off to visit sites and check out the OB. Hey, did you guys notice Saturday's episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex on Adult Swim had the Tachikomas in it. Rebecca voiced the one that "belongs" to Batou. Neato huh. Take it easy and I hope you are all having a great weekend. I feel much better getting that rant outta my system. Love you all!
