you dirty?
*stares at profile pick*

nahhhhhh

I love snow, and it *rarely* snows in Texas. It's nice when it does, though.

Um...that's kinda gross that your ex's dad stole those. The idea of a middleaged guy rubbing one off to cute fairie porn is just icky to me. Strangely, I don't find it icky that I'm terribly attracted to these little animated girls. Hm.

Oh my...

The problem with dealing with people is that most people allow themselves to be governed by emotion, and they expect everyone else to be goverened by emotion. Whenever somebody like that initiates a personal interaction, they go into it in some emotional state. That gives the other person one of three choices: they can empathize with the first person's emotional state, they can ignore it, or they can try to change it. The only way to garuntee that the interaction will go smoothly is for the second person to empathize with the first person's emotional state. If the second person ignores the first's emotional state or tries to change it, she (let's say) risks a confrontation. However, if empathizing with the first person's emotional state for the sake of a smooth interaction results in her not getting what she wants out of the interaction, that doesn't work in the long run either. If one person in the interaction occupies a position of authority over the other, that person always has an advantage in any interaction. If neither person has authority, the one with the more dominant personality always wins.

The solution: Don't fall for this f*cking trick. Take the other person's emotional state into account as a part of what they're trying to communicate to you and the driving force behind the words they're saying, but don't let it affect you. It might make the other person think you're ignoring their emotional state and that might draw them into a conflict with you, but you aren't ignoring their emotional state, so the conflict is all of their making. Conflict or not, the other thing it'll do is to give you a lot more dominant of a personality than they were expecting, and you level the field. That leaves you free to just do what you came here to do.

As long as you're paying your share of the rent, no individual has authority over you either. If they both agree and think that they can make such a decision by simple democratic majority, that still isn't fair to you, whether they realize it or not. You all went into your roommateship with an agreement, and a dog wan't part of it. That's not to say either that a dog was expressly NOT part of it (I'm guessing), but if it wasn't a part of it, before anybody changes any part of the agreement, you have to come to an agreement among you all. If they choose to get a dog by democratic majority anyway, and it wasn't expressly not part of the original agreement, you can't stop them, but you can at least make them understand that are making the conscious choice to make a negative impact on your living environment, that the un-agreed-upon negative impact is undermining the stauts of your roommateship, and that they made the conscious choice to do it anyway undermines the state of your friendship.

I'm getting a lot out of my new roommateship. People make a lot more sense now, but it's been disappointing to see that people are so easy to scientifically deconstruct once you know what you're looking at.

London is the mate you see every now and then, the one who you can only see occasionally because when you are together it's great but spend too long together and it gets boring. It smells too and it makes bogeys black and sooty.
