...I feel like crap. I better not have caught that City-wide plague or whatever it is. Gross.

And running low on chocolate.

And haven't heard from Tomoyo in a while. I'm a little...I don't know. Worr-no.

And Gon still isn't here.

Question:

Why does it matter what other people think of you? Just curious.

Huh. It doesn't. Not anymore to me anyways.

[inurfais]

But it did once. Why doesn't it anymore?

[reginagloriae]

Because I stopped being a coward, lazy idiot who lived her life to meet people's expectations and avoid conflicts.

People's feelings are important, but their opinion on me won't change what I'll do. If I'm kind, will be because I want to and not to appear a "good girl" to be praised by my good behavior.

[inurfais]

I think I like you.

[flyingmomo]

Orange juice. Orange juice helps with your immune system!

And... it depends, doesn't it? Some people care, some people don't.

[inurfais]

I've never had it before.

Do you?

[flyingmomo]

You know, I'll bring some over. Maybe that'll help.

A little. I don't want to be a disappointment to some people, that's all...

[inurfais]

What does it taste like?

But why does what they think matter?

[cherryhoops]

It doesn't, obviously.

[inurfais]

Didn't think you cared, Sui.

[cherryhoops]

Well, you asked, right?

[inurfais]

Yup.

[teamaniac]

No, it doesn't.

[inurfais]

Hi there, hag.

[teamaniac]

You want something else?

[inurfais]

Chocolate.

[pitfallen]

Well, I guess it matters to make a good impression on your employers and customers for the sake of doing well at work, but other than that I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter.

[inurfais]

Matters to some people, though.

[pitfallen]

I don't know much about "most people", I'm just saying what I think about it.

[inurfais]

And that is why I asked.
