(no subject)
Jan. 28th, 2013 09:55 amYesterday was weird. I slept in until 10, got up and got online, and was hit by the whole Mikey situation.
I've pretty much talked myself out in other places so will stick to. Have I lost some respect for him? Yes. Have I lost all respect? No, I'm not defending him but there's still a lot of stuff he's done that I respect and that hasn't changed. Do I think more has gone on that we know? Yes. Will I stop reading or writing Mikey fic? Not at all.
To be honest it's the last that makes me sad. I lost people I really liked when Bob left the band, people who defriended and never commented again, and I really don't want that to happen again. I love bandom, Mikey is still my favourite and I want to write so many stories still, but fear no one will read them. I was telling Sperrywink yesterday that I'd end up telling my stories to the cats. Which is an exaggeration I know, I have friends who will listen to my rambles always, but the kinds of not fic that happen just because, the kinds where you just go, I want a story where Mikey is in a car crash and goes home to recover an gets hugs. Who will listen to those now? Because I mean, the cats will listen but the lazy lumps never say anything in reply. Seriously, cats as feedbackers are the worst.
It's a mess for sure, but we as fans only see so much, and that's why I'm going nowhere.
Changing the subject. I need help from anyone that uses Thunderbird.
I've noticed that my twitter DMs haven't been reaching my in-box for a while, but figured it was just twitter acting up. Then noticed the notification for one popping up from Thunderbird, which meant they had been reaching Thunderbird but not landing in my in box for some reason. After a search I found a load of DMs in a filter folder, along with some actual emails -- one's I'd have actually liked to know I'd received. The problem is, the filter folder is greyed and I can't find out how to change things.
Has anyone had anything similar happen?
