Thank you for your official stance on the matter, it has been noted. Officially.

[Snickers, curling around the pillow more]

And...who knows. We've only been on this boat for, what? Six weeks? How well do I really know anyone I've met on this boat.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

I've heard it said you don't really know anyone until you've gone hiking with them for weeks.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

....I don't hike.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

Me neither. But the guy who told me that does. And he said that the reason it works is 'cuz hiking for a long time will make you and your companion so so so miserable that you'll get to see the absolute worst of each other. The part that only comes out when you're freezing cold, sore all over, soaking wet, sleeping bad, and sick of trail mix.

Makes sense, I guess.... I think everyone has the capacity to be awful on a bad day though. I think fewer people actually have the capacity to be good. I think the good things someone does are a better barometer then if they're an ass on a bad day.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

People are pretty complicated... well, maybe just give that person some space until they're feeling like they're fit for social interaction again.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Mmmm....probably a good idea.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

Having a bad day isn't an excuse to take it out on someone else, after all...

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

True...still...I do worry for them.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

It's because you're a nice guy. Honestly, I'd probably worry too if I had an acquaintance suddenly act like that at me.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

If I ever suddenly act like that to you or the rest of Forge please smack sense into me.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

I'd probably wrap you in blankets and make you some tea and ask what was wrong... but I could smack you first?

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Forge is so good]

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

Well, if anyone I know and liked less was that mean to me I might skip the blankets and tea.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Special treatment, huh?

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

I proudly own my biases.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I'll allow it then. Although....I'll do my best to make sure you never need to prove it.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

I'd be perfectly happy to let it stay theoretical.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I think we can both agree on that.

[Rolls over, sitting up so he can drink his tea]

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

[ goes to sip his too ]

I think if you tried to be mean to me you couldn't.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

….

[Caught]

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

I'd frown a little bit and you'd feel too bad.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Y...you don't know that.

Re: 241 Late late night

[elementarymydeer]

And if someone else was mean to me you'd go beat them up.

Re: 241 Late late night

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Of course I would! Though who could possibly be mean to you?!
