More time to kill…..

Another day, and instead of the “doing nothing”-ness that my life usually is, I’ve actually got stuff planned. Pretty soon I’ll have to entertain an actual guest.

After that pause to allow you to come to grips with the fact that I actually -do- have a life and even *gasp* friends, I’ll go on with what I’m actually supposed to be doing. Going on about the issue of today, namely how amusing people who think they know who you are. Now these shouldn’t be confused with people who actually get other people. Those are scary and should be kept as far away from you as possible without being insulting. Or while being insulting if you’re like me. Anyway, the point is that life is full with people who enjoy lecturing other people on “how” they are. This might very well put your hackles up, but please, ignore the impulse to tell these people to go fuck themselves while you go do something more productive than listening to them, say growing a beard or what not. Wow, long sentence. But when you get past the initial annoyance, there’s lots of fun to be had from these people. They can show you what “people” think of you for one. You can laugh at their stupidity for another. But my absolute favorite has to be to try and push their buttons and see how that immediately alters their perception. Yo-yoing from near saint to devil’s advocate is -fun-, especially when you’re the one pulling the string.

Just don’t try it with people who actually can tell their elbows from their arseholes, they will screw you up with accurate observations, stinging remarks and devastating critisism.

In short, don’t try this with me.
