Gah! People really say that?!

Oh, you have no idea. Yes, yes they do.

I just want to pinch their cheeks.

I wonder what demographic has more self-proclaimed sociopaths: kinky people or goths?

I'm pretty sure it won't be under 6 more hours. Possibly more than 6. The strike for HHN is finishing tonight which wouldn't be too bad except that today is also the day that I tech at UCLA so I was going bright and early to drive the truck and 14' trailer through rush hour LA traffic since I was also bringing in some equipment for my class. We are scheduled to go until 11 tonight and then I need to make sure the trailer is loaded and get all he gear out of here. I expect to get to get between 2 and 3 this morning. The good thing is my schedule isn't like this all the time.

At first I was going to say it depended on the age group, but then I reconsidered. I think kinky people have more self-proclaimed sociopaths than the goths.

That would be my guess, too. I think it's repressed guilt over how much they enjoy hurting people. Easier to just declare you're a sociopath.

(The trick, little monster, is to find someone who wants you to hurt them. Boom. Done.)

I'm trying to imagine why someone would want to boast of being a sociopath, and I just can't get myself into the mindset.

And then there's Steph, giving a clear explanation for at least one reason.

You wouldn't understand, you're too wrapped up in being NICE and having FEELINGS like other sheeple.

Why yes, that's a direct quote of something I was told once. I burst out laughing at the guy.

Drew, if your schedule was like this all the time you' wouldn't have much time left. Good grief. I hope you get a vacation or some chill time soon.

Our latest faux-son/nephew declares himself a sociopath, but it doesn't make him happy. He's exactly the kind of dissatisfied/rage at the world/wants to make a grand statement but can't find a cause type who could be talked into an exploding vest if he wasn't as self-aware as he is. He longs for glory and meaning in the best epic tradtion, but he doesn't live in an epic-centered world. He'd have done well as a high plains drifter type in the Old West. My primary goal with him is to keep him alive and out of jail till he grows out of the restless post-adolescent male a bit more. He needs to find a source of joy.

I just finished work. For values of finished that equal gave up for today.

But I'm not a sociopath, so yay me?
