Ego Service Advisory

So, I've managed to convince pretty much everyone who knows me that I'm a total idiot, and I've done so in a remarkably stupid way. I'm not going to offer details, because frankly I feel dumb enough. But, man, sometimes it seems like I've spent sixty five percent of my life being stupid, which wouldn't be so bad, but most of the rest of the time I was asleep.

Take my advice: when you've convinced all the people around you that you're a moron, trying to explain will only make that worse.

I'll be back to my usual haunts when I'm feeling like less of a complete fucking idiot.

Well, I don't know you but from I have seen, I don't think you're a total idiot. Go get us some papercrafts and we'll all have fun.

No, I see her point, because only people of no worth at all ever screw up, and...

I think I'll go kill myself now.

Lighten up on yourself a little, 'k?

Hmm, now if only I could get a delete key for my mouth... :-)

On the whole, I don't mind being an idiot unless it turns out that I have accidentally offended or insulted or hurt someone. Not knowing shit? No big deal. Happens all the time. Being thoughtless at other people I like to avoid.

And yes, I've got some papercrafts to put up for tomorrow. Also a cat update, no bad news.

Gotta go with Julia on this one. We've all made ourselves look stupid, and I'm sure the people around you have too. Whatever it was, they'll get over it.

Ah, stuff it, Sidhe. You're human; you're going to fuck up. the trick is not to beat yourself up about it, because it only makes it harder to apologise and move on with the people you didn't mean to hurt.

See, here, you're standing on the south rim of the grand canyon going " I'm pretty sure there's a hole around here"

Not sure about you, but I'm always at my best when I'm sleeping.

Gnome Sane?

D.Sidhe, your approval rating among Sharks of All Species is still hovering at about 97%. That doesn't bite.

I am also a moron. Explaining often does make it worse. I tried practicing a self-deprecating little giggle, complete with dimple-deployage, but the results in the mirror were kind of hideous.

So I slink away.
