Paper: DONE! Art: None?

Wow, three entries in one day! It's just like in the early days of my blog!

The paper, as far as the academic stuff, is done. I sent it off to three different people for three different perspectives, one of which was my sister for clarity purposes. Unfortunately, I still don't know what to do about the work I've already produced and how to insert it into the thesis.

My brain hasn't been wrecked as of yet compared to earlier in the week where I had no idea if what I was doing was right or wrong. If anything, it just can't think well enough to figure out a way to address my thesis visually.

My thesis still involves a social barrier, only now it isn't about the knowledge found in a subculture but their perspective on the world. Otakus liked anime because they felt it told a better store and was more visually engaging than the mainstream soap operas; pornographers see their work as no different than a Hollywood film in the way they go about making their films; the online world is seen by teenagers and young adults as a place to express themselves with limitless creative potential. Those outside of those groups don't see it that way. They see otakus as slobs with no friends, pornographers as dirty people that degrade society, and the online youth as the source of media piracy and identity theft. Why? Personal perspective based around the meaning of a single signifier or set of signifiers.

It's the reason I was public enemy number one after the Columbine shooting even though I was probably just as sane as the next person in the school.

Hopefully an idea will come to me in my sleep, but in the meantime, I'm hoping that the people I e-mailed my paper to get back to me before I have to fire it off to Jack, who will ultimately say that I didn't insert my work in it and thereby confirming that I need to wait until December to have my show.
