    Such certainty! And an Albert Camus quote in the signature! Would it be too much trouble to ask you why?

Seeing your body get visibly stronger is pretty cool and whenever I get into a funk I can just point to that and say, "Well you earned those muscles didn't you? What're you saying you're good for nothing?"

    Also, on Se/Ni valuing, that means they're in my Ego or Super-Id blocks, right? And Super-Ego and Id are the ones I devalue? I can definetely get valuing, is probably my favorite comedian, and, if I have my functions right, he has a very style. I still don't have a solid definition as to what is. Memory and predictions and flows of events and the like. Dynamic and gives one a sense of laziness and a predisposition towards nihilism? Is any of that correct?

    Also, yeah, I feel that if one or two mistakes make their way into a conversation, then why should one get all worked up over it? They knew what I was saying well enough to not only understand me, but understand me well enough to correct me. So, if they already understood what I was saying, why go to the length of correcting something that was already working?

    Goodness! But such harsh invective! I've been lurking around the forum for a few weeks though, and I've noticed you tend to make these kinds of posts, so it didn't really surprise me though. I actually find it kind of endearing that you find me worthy of so many posts worth of passionate fury! To address your main concerns:

    1) I have nothing whatsoever against my friend's pre-op transsexual girlfriend. I haven't actually met her yet, but from what my friend tells me of her she's just a normal girl with really nerdy interests (which is fine, because he has exactly the same interests) and an optimistic outlook on life who just so happens to have been born in a man's body. Last I heard she was getting her name legally changed and looking into the $30,000 operation that it will take to complete her journey towards womandom.

    2) I don't have anger issues. The point of the exercise here was to type as much as possible as quickly as possibly, essentially putting down whatever thoughts bubbled up to the surface from my subconscious and personality and just putting it down. Essentially, stream of consciousness. So, it may be that I'm repressing a lot of anger that has just now come up, but it doesn't affect me in daily life. I have pretty good outlets for these kinds of things.

    Aw, you write something like this and you give me hope that maybe I could actually be a writer. I like writing short stories and the occasional poem but the idea of making a whole novel is kind of terrifying. How do you fill three-hundred pages and have none of it feel like you've wasted the reader's time? Intimidating, to be sure.

    For authors I really enjoy Kurt Vonnegut and Terry Pratchett. Kurt does melancholy really, and Pratchett just knows how to write characters you can help but love.

    Yeah, I can see what you mean about Te-valuing. Its because of their hard work that I'm able to sit here and type lengthy paragraphs about myself. Were they to kick me out of their house right now and take everything they own away from me (which, of course, they wouldn't, but, you know, hypothetically) then I'd have maybe a few hundred bucks to my name, a couple of pairs of clothes, and my laptop. I take it for granted a lot of the time, but I really am spoiled and blessed to have them.

    I just don't know if I could live like them, though. Working nine hour days and then going to school and doing all the homework... I'd be an empty, burnt-out husk before long working that hard all the time, every week. I realize I can't live the easy life in my parents' house forever, and my current goal is to move out into an apartment and start out on my own, but sometimes the amount of effort that its going to take to get there just overwhelms me.

    Its ok. With Friend #1 its like his most basic and natural reaction to any of my verbal missteps. I give him a lot of shit for this, and I guess I come down on him a lot in my description of him, but he's a good friend nonetheless. So I'm totally ok with you doing it, is what I'm saying.

    I know. Its not as if I'm so close to them I can breath their exhaust, I get just close enough that I can still see around them in case some obstruction presents itself and so that my car looms large in their rearview. I try to just go around them if the right lane is free, but there are just those times where the guys in the right are going just as slow as the guy in my lane and so it wouldn't do me any good to switch lanes anyway. Most people here are really good about letting faster drivers pass, but sometimes... eh. Its just pet peeve of mine. Its like, just let me enjoy the five minutes I have on this freeway to go as fast as I want, and then I'll drive like a sane person.
