Who, Me?

[ivylita]

Shael asked me why I always act on my compulsions to call out people who've done wrong or call attention to things I believe are wrong. He asked if it was a powerful sense of justice.

I don't really know.

Probably worth thinking about.

[ivylita]

I have. But the answer is not so much an answer.

If it's a headbutt, you can keep it to yourself.

Haha -- no, it's like this:

Everyone should have all the information, all the time. If someone were doing dirt and I didn't know, I would want to know. I like my friends to be the kind of people who want all the information, all the time, too.

Additionally, I think if someone is clumsy and can't pull one over on me, they shouldn't get away with it. Conversely, if they can fool me, they deserve to get away with it.

I love how you tagged this with "boobs".

[ivylita]

I think I'm going to keep doing that.

I think it has to do with the size of one's vagina.

[ivylita]

Then mine is CANYONESQUE.

Does it echo?

Dime store psychoanalysis.

You strike me as someone who is afraid of being hurt or taken advantage of by people, perhaps due to past experience. As a result, you launch counter- or preemptive strikes against to neutralize the transgressor.

Or something else entirely.

I cannot deny this. I don't do much actual confronting, but I want lots and lots of discussion and exchange of information. I think it's our duty to inform ourselves and each other.

Honestly, I think there are only so many ways human beings deal with the pain of social trauma. You can bludgeon, wear a mask, deflect or evade, but most of us are dealing with a hurt somewhere behind that.

Right. I get the impression that a lot of it's your declaration of "not with me (or mine) you don't!" There's a comforting element to stamping your foot and saying you aren't going to take it. It's like an affirmation, but without the pastel sweaters.

I'm pretty sure I know these girls...
