As I stated, always seems a better idea to start at the beginning and work my way through. Gives me an idea of a person over time, rather than just in the moment. Over time I've become... not neccesarily less patient with people, but more choosy in who I interact with, be it over the web, or in real life. Being sick taught me, among other things, that I need to be more cautious with where my time gets spent. That doesn't mean I've become completely anti-risk or anti-people entire, but my drama threshold and tolerance has dropped dramatically. It's one of the reasons why there are friends only and specific group only posts on my journal. I don't want to get drawn into anything or anyone I don't choose anymore. I have a bad habit of being magnetized in until I finish figuring something out, and then not knowing what to do with the individual who still wants the same intensity of focus - if they turn out to be someone that I don't feel like delving into or exploring with further.
Celebration. I like your approach to that.
If there's anything in particular or specific you are curious about - ask. Previously noted here concerns aside, once I decide to speak to someone, I'm pretty open. "Brutal honesty" is something I've been accused of/a character trait, depending on who you ask.
I friended you, as I saw you noticed, which opens up rants and the like. I think I'd actually gotten around to setting all the writing snippets aside in a special group, for by request only access - as much so that people could choose to see it as to allow me to choose who could see it.
Mentioned where I'd met sidehebear - though that's not the name I think of him by. Of course, his "Real Name" isn't the one I think of him by either. One of the things about the internet is the utter profusion of aliases and secondary names.
Who I want to be when I grow up? That's a more difficult question. There are a number of things that I would really like to have done, but they aren't neccesary for me to have been moderately satisfied with who I was this round. I guess I primarily want to have done some good. Maybe enough to balance out the bad done to me and to others I've known. But that doesn't really cover it. Long answer. I'll get back to you.
Your response to that question is the sort of thing that gives me hope for Christians/Christianity. Nice that I've garnered some of that as I've grown. My foundational introductions to it were fair horrid.
I am interested in the long answers. I'd actually been considering asking for the opportunity you mentioned because I was curious.
Hm. Arguing with AIM proved futile. So I'll stick an eddy here and get rid of it later. kei@plutospeaks.info
