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.
Dreg: Glory, Your Most Fresh-And-Cleanness. It's only a matter of time-- Glory: Ugh, everything always takes time! What about my time? Does anyone appreciate I'm on a schedule here?! Tick tock, Dreg! Tick freakin' tock!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I just finished work. For values of finished that equal gave up for today.
But I'm not a sociopath, so yay me?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You wouldn't understand, you're too wrapped up in being NICE and having FEELINGS like other sheeple.
I'm perfectly willing to accept that there are plenty of sociopaths out there. I'm just thinking if I were a sociopath I wouldn't tell anyone. Unless sociopaths put a high value on honesty, but why would they?

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Yeah, admitting to being a sociopath sounds more like the sort of thing a psychopath might do.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm fairly certain that the use of the word "sheeple" in other than a quotation is shorthand for "I am a giant dick".

Our wings are not tired
Finally am back home. Well actually in the office. I have hopefully a bit less than an hour of work to do then I can get a few hours of sleep. Wow, this has been a looooong day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm back up. Problem with working until bedtime is that my brain fails to quit when I finally, exhausted, lie down.

Amen, Liese. Just crawled into my hotel bed after my late flight and I just can't settle down.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I was once informed that I am a sociopath. By the guy I was living with. He ended up in jail for a series of serious crimes. I did not.
So either I'm not a sociopath, or I'm a lot better at it than he was.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I woke up at 2. Not loving today, so far.
