REAL IM CONVERSATIONS: I need to start being more productive on my Friday nights... of course, I would've been if anyone I knew was in town. Oh well. Here are some things that I, or people I knew, said, that I thought were intriguing or amusing:
SPenny11: So how was your day?
NotTimMcCarty: I notice a theme. Do you perhaps have some hidden question you're trying to ask me?
SPenny11: Nope, why have I asked that a lot?
NotTimMcCarty: three times, I think. Not to be critical, I was just wondering if I was missing some subtext.
***
NotTimMcCarty: which leads back into my problem
NotTimMcCarty: I spent all of high school figuring out who I was, and I think I have a pretty good hold on it now
NotTimMcCarty: what the fuck did everybody else do?
***
SydneyM03: I realized a long time ago that my friends can usually be divided into two categories
NotTimMcCarty: go for it
SydneyM03: those who "live easily" and those who don't
SydneyM03: and it's not that people who live easily will definitely get all the breaks or have nothing but good things happen to them
SydneyM03: but for them life is, overall, good. continuing to live isn't even a question.
NotTimMcCarty: grr. Ah, misanthropy
SydneyM03: survival is more ingrained than being an instinct and because of that they can actually live
NotTimMcCarty: I see
SydneyM03: but this doesn't meann that they don't have problems
SydneyM03: it doesn't mean they don't get hurt
SydneyM03: but they expect life to continue no matter what so they deal with it differently

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
