Ha!1 That's awesome. Yeah, i definitely wouldn't know anything about GSF1 or anything. Nope, no secret parties in my world. (None that i'm invited to, anyway. ;)

sometimes, I just want to beat people with a giant Golden Rule-er..... or at least a big fat stick with the words "be nice to people" on it. But then, I suppose the irony of that would be overwhelming.

I suspect it applies to many over-educated grade school outcasts ;).

[merikus]

yeah. i think it basically applies to anyone with an immature view of friendship...

i really would like to share this one w/some people...having so many times faced the frustration of people who considered me a friend, who failed to understand how i could in turn be friends with people they themselves didn not like for whatever reason...in the end this just leds to big ball o'drama...this seems to be particularly common in the lesbian community...or at least that is where i have seen it in the most extreme forms
