To My New "Friends"

[wayside_flower3]

Because the majority of you are friends with this vox_diabolica fellow, I'm assuming that you all added me as a friend as part of some childish scheme concocted by him. Naturally, the purpose of this prank is to perturb Stephen (essius). It's a rather pathetic and petty excuse for a joke, really, but I suppose voxy thought that he'd get a little chuckle out of it. No

Incorrect. When I looked at LJ this morning, I noticed all of these new "friends." I then looked at their profiles because I was fairly certain that this had something to do with you. And I was right: most of them were your friends. Therefore, I called Stephen and told him my suspicions. He agreed that you probably did it to annoy him. If he spoke to someone else regarding this situation, he didn't tell me about it.

While these people may be interesting, I'm disappointed that they added me just because they were following instructions.

And yes, Stephen can be annoying a lot of the time. But he's not all bad all the time.

Honestly children....come to order.

As for you, young lady, evidently I missed the aforementioned instruction to befriend you: as for the rest of your new friends I can judge them to be sane and clever and quite well-read really, considering. 'Ragging' Stephen seems to be a past-time of many: which is not to say that any of the parties concerned are without qualities.
In some respects, it seems to me that in the past Stephen's actions have set himself up for some quantum of teasing: though no-one died, the dramatic senses of all concerned seemed....unusually heightened.
I think Stephen now has a better control of his emotional responses to people and criticism. Perhaps his youthful tormentors merely test him, and do but poison in jest.

But if you need a Daniel to come to judgement the best person to ask is probably triphicus who is I believe a good Christian lass of sound principles, tho' a beauty and therefore liable to some small vanity. But then again, aren't we all? Vanity is merely one of my compendium of sins: I should find it

I suspect you are far to kind to the catapillar girl and to Mark's re-incarnation.

And just to be technical: it's not "what does not kill me" it's "What does not destroy me" which carries a different connotation.

You should probably not try to be technical because it really isn't working out for you. You're wrong yet again, and rather shockingly so considering that the quote in question is from your idol, Nietzsche. The correct formulation is indeed "that which does not kill me, makes me stronger." ("Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich starker." - from Twilight of the Idols). Go look up the word umbringt in any online German/English dictionary.

Cause dictionaries are really, really, *REALLY* well known for capturing each and every message a word has.

I'll be sure to correct Dr. Charles List on the matter; the authority from which *I* was corrected, when I said kill.
