Metafilter Rebuttal Oh you Metafilterists! I'm sorry people, I am going to have to divert the first half of the entry to a rebuttal too all the traffic/comments about me on this site. I promise, however, to get and caption some of the stupid silly pictures from the bad porn at work, including the stupid girl sucking on the stethosocpe...hilarious I assure you. 1) I address this to Britain if she's reading: Who Are You? You don't need to reveal yourself publicly but shoot me an email because you claim to have known me before leaving the last job...and I have an idea of who you might be, but I am not sure. Of course, I think you're female, which narrows it down, but if not I am lost. 2) I have been accused of being too cheery and optimistic about my lot. Well, I will not apologize for liking my life. I am rather spiritual and I honestly believe that my hard work in all areas of my life has brought me some tiny success. I like that. My partner is a lovely giving person who supports me and, after a rough childhood with shitty parents, I think I deserve that. I also work my ass off on many projects in addition to sex work so I think my near-middle-class status is also earned and deserved. I sell everything about me and I use all that I have, and honestly, I am still right around poverty level. Maybe not entirely, I might make $20K+ this year, but I'm not a rich white girl. I will admit that I don't have many crises or bad points with my sex work activities, but I think that's partly my attitude towards sex. I am very open and honest with my partners and I enjoy what I do. I think I might get the same satisfaction from painting or writing and none of you would dis me on that. 3) About the prose...some of you claim that I must be fake because I can write well. I find that rather hilarious. I have a BA from UM with an English minor. In fact, the reason it's a minor is because my grammar is horrible. I know you might not spot that because the internet is rife with poor writers, but it's true. I will admit I do organize scenes a little more clearly to describe them here, but most good writers will do that with their anecdotes because then people understand them better. I want people to understand the messages I am trying to get across, not the medium, hence the good use of prose. 4) Hmmm as for the giggly charge, as opposed to being merely positive about my work, I don't see why I can't get excited. I like my life! I'm sorry the rest of the world isn't so content but I am! I may as well get into my work and enjoy myself. I think if more people saw what they had in the world instead of what they didn't there would be much less to worry about and much more happiness. Just a thought though. Almost forgot, the charge that I have weird starts to my entries...well give me some starting ideas! I tend to like the in media res form of starting because I like to thrust the reader into my world and force to you figure things out from my perspective. I try and give clues into why I think what I think, but if you don't directly ask I cannot know what you want to know. In fact, I encourage you regulars to do this too...ASK! If you have any question about my work or sex please email! I will write back and possibly put the reply up on the site, assuming it's a useful question. *sigh* sorry you regulars had to undergo that but as long as they keep questioning/querying me I think I should respond and seeing as I am not on that site...I gotta do it here. I DO promise those silly pics for next time. Oh, and in the spirit of integration, if I can after next week I may reveal where I work, the day job that is. I got to see if they will be okay with that and I am debating if I should leave it up in the links section. I might not. God knows, I like to bitch about my job without being sighted. :) But don't worry, if they keep me I might be fully fully out as to real name and everything because they know what I do too. So, I wouldn't lose the job with them or anything crazy like that. As for today, today was good. My speediness almost cost me though because I am getting through too much work too fast. So after doing the last of the movie tour pics, I slowed down while Photoshopping tattoos off asses. Well, I shouldn't use the plural though, one small blue moon off one hot chick's abdomen. She's a cutie though so I didn't mind. I have 500 more to do of her, and hopefully they can give me something else tomorrow. I almost had the day off, but I want to work and get some money under my belt to repair the Jag. That reminds me, need to cash the government and my last modeling check...oh and one tip for local workers, EMU pays more than UM but they're all crappy wages, $10-12/hour for figure work. :P Throw some more at me Metafilterers...in fact leave it here if you want or email! I don't bite, well not unless you pay me to :D Daphne |
