Ed, What do you do, exactly?

I agree with you, Drenius. I'm also aware that it can take a lot out of you, and cleansing isn't always a pleasant experience while it's happening, so I can see where Ginger's coming from too.

Can you think inside the chimney?

Worked for me, Drenius. In fact, even now I can't listen to that music without remembering...

@Drenius: I write for an advertising agency. It's a bit trying at times.

@Red That and the fact that crying leaves me feeling DEAD... not happy. and It usually leaves me in a hypersensitive state that generally leads to an unstoppable bout of depression that lasts for WEEKS on end

@Drenius, Only that I don't believe in catharsis I have found nothing to be accomplished from being depressed.

Ed, I've no idea how advertising actually works, just misinformed visions fed to me by stuff like the hudsucker proxy and Madmen.

Well, that just goes to show how people vary. For example, depression tends to be my general state of being and I feel much more relieved when I've had a chance to have a cry. God, how I bawled when my dog died.

I've never been a big fan of that type of catharsis. I don't mind tearjerker moments on principle, but I prefer them as part of a larger work rather than the point of the work itself.

Oh, I see.

I ask cause I usually think you're pretty sensitive towards talking about this stuff.

I sure do seem to have a lot of unpopular opinions!

Hey, I didn't like Cutie Pox either. We all have minority opinions, it's just that some of us make a big deal about it.

Well, I don't usually believe in catharsis unless the emotional breaking-down is accompanied by a building up hottipped for Ginger's convenience. It does boil down to the fact that not everything works for different people, though.

#78916 gingerninja 666 Tue, 24th Jan '12 6:06:23 PM from Aboard The Damocles

I heard that. I still think I have more minority opinions than you guys do though

It's not a contest Ginger.

Catharsis issue: I like things that make me feel emotion, regardless of what sort of emotion it is. However, I often overdo it with dark stuff and end up feeling somewhat drained, which is why I have to seek out positive shows like MLP to counteract it.

Personally I ground my negative emotions with stuff that hurts and heals at the same time, washing away the hatred with a combined showers of tears of sorrow and joy.

#78920 Drenius Tue, 24th Jan '12 6:09:06 PM from Northern Virginia

Well, Red, that's what great about Dick's work, there are usually chapters of building up interspersed with the grander plot before the eventual breakdown.

You vocalize your minority opinions more than anyone else, Ginger. I'm sure most of us have just as many mostly disagreed with quirks as you do.

For example, I greatly enjoyed MMDW (GASP!), because when I noticed how silly it was getting, I tuned out the bad and let the glorious cheese take me away.

I'm not as sensitive as I used to be and I really haven't cried for any reason, especially towards works of fiction, I can understand sad moments but tearjerkers just frustrates me because I feel as though pathos is being forced from me only it's not working, and I hate being depressed.
