So... Whatcha doin??

[Deleted User] · February 2012

Some dude on Twitter just irritated me. I made a post about a website annoying me by disabling my back button, so I wouldn't buy from them, ever. Guy responds that holding a grudge is bad and takes too much energy, and forgiveness is easier.

Dude. Don't preach at me. Especially over a freaking back button post.

I'm curious as to how the guy's contract was set up in the beginning, or if he even had one. I mean, some artists and writers willingly sign over their rights (like authors do for movies) for a price, and that's all you get, plus royalties. So if this guy signed over his rights to the pieces, then technically he doesn't own them. But at the same time, anyone can sell comics and art so I'm not sure why whatever he owned (assuming it was personal property) he wouldn't have the rights to.

Ha, I said it wasn't a grudge, just taking a stand against bad business practices and he responded with "Taking a stand in life is powerful, not all have the courage to stick to it. Your passion is a gift continue to live it."

He's a motivational speaker or something.

4 Inches is quite a bit, Blue. I bet it feels a lot lighter. I'm considering going back to blonde too. I've been letting my highlights grow out and my hair is my natural color again, which in the winter means dark, dirty blonde.

Adam says: He wanted a cut for movie money because he created ghost rider, so he sued them, but he "didnt deserve it" because he was work for hire which means marvel owns it. Which is fine. The issue is that Marvel counter sued him 17K because of some prints he sold at conventions over the years and he is broke and in his 70s and about to lose his house.

Its still past my bra-strap. My hair grows like a weed and I like to keep it long. It had just been a long time since my last cut and was stupid long. Like a horses mane.

People like that annoy me.

I need to cut my hair so bad, the ends are terrible. I also need it dyed. I'm naturally very blonde but its been coming in so ashy lately, I hate it. I want to be platinum again.

But did he own the prints? I'm trying to understand how that works. Like, if I sold movie rights to my book, I could still sell my own book and not owe the production company a penny.

So did he own the prints? Were they created after the comic (like something he did on his own time afterwards)? Regardless, I think it's ridiculous.

<div>I wish I could have long hair. It just doesn't suit me or my hair type. </div>

Nebb · February 2012

Oh, Adam doesnt know apparently. So im nto sure.

kwilliams111012 · February 2012

Hey y'all - I pretty much got flamed off the E board today. Hope you don't mind if I join in on the convo.

Your hair is so pretty, Blue! I wish mine grew as quickly as yours did. Takes me almost a year to get a few inches.

FI and I are playing Rock Band tonight and snuggling with the puppies. We did our first registry tonight at BBB. It was fun but oddly stressful when it came down to choosing bedroom colors and things like that.

Blueyed228 · February 2012

Chirp- a before and after.

This pic was taken back in October so it had grown even longer since then

Nebb · February 2012

No offence kwilliams but we arent exactly the E rejects board or anything like that.

[Deleted User] · February 2012

Blue your hair is about as long as mine is now. I just had it trimmed recently too.

Kwilliams, I wouldn't say you were flamed off the E board. Lots of posters get their ass handed to them. Doesn't mean you have to leave.

chirpchirp · February 2012

Holy crap, Blue. Your hair is long. I can't pull off long hair, it just ends up looking flat and stringy. So I rock the chin length bob. Oh well.

And Kwill, really? Overdramatic much?

kwilliams111012 · February 2012

Haha. I know you're not, Nebb. Just lookin for a different group of girls to talk to. But if y'all don't want to play either - fine by me.

Blueyed228 · February 2012

I loved the dark hair when she did it. I hate it now. I was thinking about going a shocking red, but since my hair grows so fast it would be too hard to maintain. My hair is dark blonde naturally so going light blonde is easy to keep up with.

<div>Low maintainance is definately the way to go, but the brown is gorgeous.</div>

Blueyed228 · February 2012

Kwilliams- just dont go crazy pants and you are fine with me. But word of advice: dont go all "I hate E!" over here either. Cause we dont like that.

chirpchirp · February 2012

Also Blue, if you naturally have lighter hair, going red is really, really, really hard to ever get out. I dyed my hair dark red when I was 17-19 and I had to grow it all out because every color I tried to put on top of it would take on a redish tint. Strawberry blonde (orange...) isn't my color.

Nebb · February 2012

I sorta hope deep down that newbs, or kwilliam, hear bill paxton in their head when I talk. Its a dream of mine.

kwilliams111012 · February 2012

Not trying to hate on anyone. Or be overdramatic. Just wanted to join in.

Blueyed228 · February 2012

Kwilliams- we have a lot of NC gals here.

Glad to hear it. Been here my whole life. Probably a little sheltered because of it, but I love it nonetheless.

[Deleted User] · February 2012

I read everyone's posts in my own voice, which means I pretend that all y'all talk just like I do. but if it makes you feel better, nebb, I'll channel Bill for you.

KaylaSue19 · February 2012

I used to go from light to dark every six months to a year or so, but I've kept it blonde for 2 years. I'm getting bored with it now, but I also want to stay blonde so I don't know what to do with it. I love it dark, but I'm attached to blonde more than I used to be.
