Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
So how does that work?
Either hippie woowoo or hormone stimulation. Take your pick.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For the others, someone who is reflective would be like, "He hates me. What did I do wrong?" and would open the door to doubt.
Huh. I don't want to be led by either of your examples. I want to be led by "He hates me. I continuously examine my actions, their effects and their motivations. Does this add new data? Aha."
Sometimes people hate you for a reason, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they may even hate you for a good reason, but your course shouldn't be altered. Self-reflection shouldn't break that, or it's a piss poor kind of reflection.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know...is there something after clusterfuck? What other words are available?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I want to be led by "He hates me. I continuously examine my actions, their effects and their motivations. Does this add new data? Aha."
Pass the word: ita wants Sabermetricians to rule the world!
Huh. I don't want to be led by either of your examples.
Well, I was describing extremes on purpose. The "What did I do wrong?" kind of reflection is sort of what is called depressive rumination, where stewing on a mistake magnifies it to global "I suck" proportions. Whereas, "He hates me. Asshole." is the thought-process of a sociopath.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The Nathan Fillion story has charmed the pants off of me. Damn, that guy's cute.
I just waited over an HOUR to get into my scheduled OB appointment (that's ONE HOUR AFTER I was supposed ot see him). I'm just glad I dragged DH to the office visit with me or I would have been really bored all alone. Doc gets a pass because he was delivering a baby.
Bacon and eggs sounds good. We may have that for dinner tonight.

Nathan Fillion is a fabulous man. msbelle is equally fabulous.
And speaking of, I just woke up from a nap (I'm a student again now! I can nap! Huzzah!) wherein Kevin Sorbo was so impressed by Serenity that he decided to get an Andromeda film made. Why does my brain hurt me so?
