I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

* Over 40% of people regularly worry that negative comments are being made about them
I've found that downsizing the number of people whose opinions matter to you helps tremendously with this.

What is even happening?
* 27% think that people deliberately try to irritate themI wonder if this number reflects some under reporting. It seems to me like people are tightfisted with benefit-of-the-doubt. I know this is something I'm guilty of, and it's also something I notice a lot, in other people, not towards me, just when they're talking about something that's happened to them (cf. * Over 40% of people regularly worry that negative comments are being made about them).

New study shows that people are paranoid:
What are you saying? Are you implying that I'm too paranoid? I always knew Jesse was out to get me.

Last week Nora 'updated my file' to allow it, so I will note...
Aw, Rick, you may weigh in on any and all subjects! I enjoy your posts. (in case my teasing was unclear in any way on that point)
Re: birthday parties. I am always organizing my own birthday thing, because, well, I honestly don't expect other people to remember it, and then I can organize the when and where and what that I like, 'cause it's my birthday! I don't get the reticsence to plan one's own birthday celebration. Maybe it's the perception that to do so is to troll for presents?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am not! But Lee might be.
On the birthday thing -- I don't hang out in crowds where it is expected that you will buy an extravagant birthday gift (or any, really), but I can imagine that if you were, it becomes a slightly different situation. Generally my friends buy dinner for the birthday girl, and that's that. Two times weird things have happened: One year, just three of us went out, so I felt bad that they split my dinner between them (so in that case I wished I had invited more people), and last year a friend came who's not from the US and gave me a fairly significant present, and I wished I had told her not to. But otherwise, no big whoop.

Lee's posts always did look shifty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Personally, I think Jesse and Gud are out to get me AND plotting together to make me look like the evil one.
It's not working, is it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
