I'm just aware of what type of crazy I can become when threatened, even if I don't actually have the strength or the frame to pull it off effectively.

Yeah, I fear this also with Tom. I don't fear Tom, but I am pretty sure he's got this going on, and has done a lot a lot of repression to subdue it.

I'm sensing a theme.

In school I almost never lost my temper or cried. There were too many people trying to get that reaction out of me, and I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.

It used to be too easy to get me to do that.

I inherited mine from my ancestors who were Scottish & Dutch mercenaries.

No, I'm not joking.

I cried now and again in school, as well as lost my temper. Never been in a fight, though. (Not out of school either.)

::makes note to Pete's gift idea list: wooden shoes, kilt, machine gun::

But if they were mercenaries, they would just fight because they were being paid to, not because they were mad.

(joking)

My type changes a lot, but the one unchanged theme seems to be the type of cuteness that works without trouble. I get turned on by hair hastily clipped up, no or very little makeup, simple clothes, and an expression that implies this person is too busy thinking or doing stuff to care beyond the basics. Oh, and glasses.

Yeah, but I think they had a lot of job satisfaction, if you know what I mean.

Aimée, I will not wear a kilt. Give that to ND.

Well, we got eventually over that whole have to conquer the world thing. To everything there is a season, I guess ...

As a Scot, we have license to rage outwardly. As a Canadian, that's considered impolite. Welcome to my psychosis.
