[The One and Only...]

This thread made me LOL.

For one thing, my antics on this board are just that: antics. My INTENTION is to be humorous, but apparently you just don't grasp that.

I'll admit I'm egocentric, and even somewhat socially inept, but in reality I'm not quite as naive as you think I am (at least not since Marissa).

Narcissism kept me alive. The conditions in my life were horrible. This was around the time I developed my anarchist beliefs, and the combination of the stress from living in a Statist society which I rejected and the lack of anyone to relate to left me void. This was also a time where I, in hindsight, was sitting somewhere between social circles; I left some of my old friends behind but had none to really turn to. The only thing that stopped me from going down the highway instead of across the street was a deep self-respect and belief that I could do something to change the future.
