That seems perfectly sensible to me.

Thats fair.  You ever put headphones on and not listen to music, just to stop people from trying to talk with you?

  Being social is a chore.  Being outgoing and happy for others is hard.  Even being a pessimist or a jerk all the time is effort.
    Im usually happiest on my own.  Except when I want to go do things.  :b

you should be willing to share experiences.  They are who you are. 
That's just the thing. I'm not so sure that letting just anybody know who I am is what I'm comfortable with. Not because there's something wrong with being me, it's just that sometimes I just want to hang back and evaluate things a little to see if I feel like making that connection, you know? Not in a judgmental prove-your-worth-to-me-mortal sort of way - it's just that opening up is a decision I consciously make depending on moon phase, bat reproduction rates, atmospheric humidity, that sort of thing.

Consider writing stuff down in a diary personal journal. Sure helps me in terms of reflecting upon whether to disclose said stuff to certain people or not. It just isn't as good in your head as it is in a form of consistent text. If nothing else, it is sort of like bloodletting for a hypertonic in terms of helping with this sort of anxiety - does not solve the problem, but relieves the symptoms temporarily.

Goodness... Ever have someone who has blind adulation for a TV show or series?

My Sister loves Gilmore Girls...

But to the point where she cannot stand any criticism... Which is one thing. But she cannot stand any observation that doesn't fit EXACTLY with what she pictures the show to be and takes everything as if it is a criticism.

Yeah, it seems a bit silly to keep a written record of the evidence.

of what?


You know what really neat?
  Keep a journal of a time.  Record at least a page every time you sit down.  Talk about mundane things or emotions.

Then read it 6 months later and wtf over what you wrote.  'When did I think this'?  'why would I feel that way'?  'Wow, do I really believe that'?

Today in the WTF thread: exhibitionist revelations, spontaneous forumite combustion and the gilmore girls.

My only contribution to this topic is that some of my political views are very right and some are very left.
This makes it very hard to find any politicians I agree with. Or people in general, for that matter. ::)

Fakeedit: Oh wait we aren't talking about that any more, okay.

Well... which views are which? I ask out of curiosity, but if you feel your answer may cause a typical Bay12 explosion, it may be best to PM me :P

Stepdad decided to move more stuff into my room. This time more boxes and a fuckhuge cabinet that they managed to damage on the way in, covering my floor with wood flakes. Now I have zero floor space. They claim they didn't touch any of my stuff, which is bullshit, and they may have damaged my PC fans. They're also claiming it's "temporary", and that I've no right to be angry about it.

I believe that some criminals have no business still having their heads attached. And why on earth would one bother with that lethal injection jiggerypokery, if it is so complicated and liable to malfunction when a guillotine would do?
I also believe that it is a ridiculous idea to mistreat and discriminate homosexuals, or indeed any other trait that does no harm whatsoever.
Further, the stability of the environment and the long-term survival of mankind is far more important than the interests of business and commerce. If it cannot be done any other way, then there is no option but to apply substainable development by force. A state, or indeed a species, cannot wait and hope for a few traces of benevolence and mercy to emerge by themselves from the corporate sector who has not shown any such signs before.
However, borders must be maintained and carefully guarded, and migrants examined and sorted, their needs and their contributions weighed and measured. The Good Thing to Do might appear to throw open the doors and aid each and every one, but that is not any help that will last at length. Disrupting and endangering your own house to aid a stranger will only harm both. If one's boat is upset because you tried to get someone else on-board, both will be wet, cold and not very likely to be grateful.

...And so on, and so on. It is quite fascinating, talking politics with someone who is firmly set down in one particular wing or party. Confusion tends to mount, and in some cases, it's a long game of "Find the Deal-Breaker".
I believe that, if anything, I am a mean old statist. If this connection to the big, mean gubbamint makes me a liberal by default or not, I cannot tell.

As for gay marriage, I'd say that it is fair for a clergyman to refuse, but it falls to the authorities concerned to find someone who will, so that the wedding still takes place. Rather like how midwives should not be forced to take part in abortion procedures, but the authorities are forced to find a replacement.
(Come to think of it, I wouldn't really have any trouble at all wedding a gay couple. If nothing else works out, I can always go to America, take to the cloth and become a travelling back-up priest.)

the only time a clergyman should be forced to perform a marriage they do not believe in is if their own church authority decides to force them, like some churches are doing. episcopals in the us. anglicans in canada. etc.

saying the left wants to make the church perform same-sex marriage has always been a falsehood, that's never been any mainstream position. only about extending the same (civil) rights to same sex couples as 'traditional' couples. most of the reason people are against civil unions is a) "separate but equal" doesn't work, and b) they are not the same thing; some rights are extended only to "marriages" and not civil unions

I don't know about on a broad political level, as I've never really paid much heed to that particular discussion, but in terms of general person-to-person discussion the concept of the "right of marriage" was expressed an awful lot.

Perhaps I was only working with a small, non representational group.

If so, then I don't really care about the issue. It means nothing to me.

Having the right to marry doesn't mean you have the right to marry at a specific venue.
