United Statesians... did you vote?
Are you sure?
E-voting machines caught switching votes.
Are you in North Carolina?
Palm Beach?
Somewhere else in Florida?
In other news, I'm still irritated as all hell at people that have to meddle in the affairs of others. Yeah, everybody does it and I'm sure that many people feel they have good reasons or the best of intentions... but when you hold a club over someone's head (like a teacher asking you to come over on Saturday and wash their car, and you do because you'd hate for the teacher to maybe not mark you as well on your next paper), even an unspoken one, that just plain sucks.
In the tradition of the notebook I have to keep for work, which among other things I have to use for writing up little contracts and having people sign them like when I let them into a secure area, confiscate property, or turn a crime scene over to the RCMP, for example... I'm thinking of carrying a different notebook with me in my personal life, and when someone says they're going to do something, I have the option to write it up on the spot and have them sign it.
Sure we have verbal contract law here, but it's harder to dispute your signature there under what you agree to do. That way, if you start doing something contrary to what I thought you'd already agreed to, I can feel whip out the book and remind you of your responsibilities. If you want to change things, then we can try to come to an agreement. If we can't, the original contract stands. If you flout it, I can feel free to dance on your feelings, since you obviously have no regard for anybody else's.
Of course, I'm far to lazy to actually do that, and who would sign anything that I push at them anyway?
I'm a hermit by nature, and by choice. Although I do interact with people, there are times that the cave in the woods looks awfully tempting...
Oh, and when your society gets to the point where you have to ride a motorized set of steps down, you deserve what you get. :P

As a fellow hermit I totally sympothise. People are fucking parasites and will do whatever they want to get their way usually.
MMMmmm...Bitter;)
Stand up to this issue. Make a "Muthafuckin Ruckas"
Thats the only way to get your way. A rep that you won't take no jive is a sure fire way to get people to keep their word.
Maybe anyhow.
Be a cold sucka to this person from now on is defenetly a better way to handle it. And Damn ANYONE if they don't like it.
Unfortunatly , even tho your a good person and you help people, people arent enclined to help anyone back , even you.
But chin up! Good and cheese always prevails!
I can't be a cocksucker to them - they haven't done anything to me. I'm not even sure they've done *anything*, other than simply be the way that they are.
Shrug. I've never caught on to why birthdays, weddings, funerals and the like are such a big deal to anybody other than the people such are happening to.
For several years I've tried to dissuade people from even acknowledging my birthday, since it's just not a big deal to me. Didn't work, they always felt they had/wanted to do something for it. Finally I hit on just obscuring exactly when it is, and that's more or less had the desired effect.
Weddings... as far as I'm concerned the only people a wedding is for is for the two people getting hitched. If they invite you to participate (either as a spectator or even in a more active capacity), that's up to them, but it's THEIR wedding, not yours so don't be a pain in the ass if they decide to do things differently than you want. Have it your way at your OWN wedding. Whether you're the best friend or one of the people's parents, just back the hell off.
Funerals. Well, I've been to my share. I don't get much out of them. Cold as that sounds, that's who funerals are for - the living. Unless you've got a view of the soul that's not covered in any of your major religious works, it doesn't give a rat's ass how you treat it. This whole notion of "honoring the dead"... fine, do what you like. Do NOT get on MY ass about it. Grieve and remember how you like. Extend me the same courtesy.
