    Sounds like your summer is going well, BG. :) Camping for me next weekend too, actually, but no oarjees. (Which I can't read without the "Aw, jeez" joke that was sooooooooo funneh in HS popping to mind again and again)

    I'm not too big on the Freudian stuff, and I tend to use the id, ego, superego terms much, much looser than purists do. Guilt does not a good life make. Been there, done that for far too long, and I don't want to do it again (although the ex has a special way of using the kids to press the guilt button from time to time... thankfully, he's now my ex).

    I agree with not wanting to be in the situation in the first place. It's not that I don't want to build character; it's that I have the experience to know that I really don't want to tread here. I don't really see how that's a bad thing, myself.

    Although Freud would probably have had something to say about big dicks. ;)

    I read the summary on SimplyPsychology.org, and at first glance (I have read about them in college courses and whatnot, but i do not use this stuff in my day-to-day routine so I forgot it) seems that the whole trifecta of Id-Ego-Superego is "negative". Although I do not automatically equate "negative" with "evil" or "undesirable" (as for example, "negative numbers" or a "negative answer"), in this case I do see it as something that I don't have any use for except if I wanted to feel bad about myself.

    It's like you start off happy, or NEUTRAL, then shit happens to make you feel bad, then more shit happens and you feel bad about feeling bad, but feeling bad about feeling bad is what makes you a good person.. Then you die. I'd rather just not feel bad in the first place, and then die, than live a Freudian Lifestyle.

    Eh. Wikipedia seems to push the negative connotation of the id, but I meant it in the unfettered, "saying what a lot of people are thinking", "Kids say the darndest things" way, if that helps.

    In reference to the puke pic (which I just saw today): Ew. That sucks. Nice of them to provide a data point and all, but ew. And you have the blue version of my countertop.

    As for changing your ways? Do what you like, but for some odd reason I thought about you and the board today and thought that in many cases, you seem to function as the board's id (as in, id, ego, and superego, and not an un-capitalized ID). The sensitive folks and the people who want to be coddled won't like it, but I personally tend to appreciate a verbal smack in the face with a, "Snap out of it, woman!"

    Be who you are. I would like to believe that if you were being a jerk just to be a jerk, that I wouldn't have gotten to like you (inasmuch as I actually get to know and like anyone on these boards).

    Did that make sense? I'm in need of more caffeine.

    What if I said I was going to change the way I am so that people wouldn't think I was such a jerk. Would people who thought I was a jerk stop thinking that? Would people who like me fine as a jerk still like me if I changed?

    I already know the answer to these and other questions. I'm just wondering if anyone else does.

    vv this puke was AWESOME vv pictures are not worth the words - the was some at the bottom of the sink too and it's all over the window sill. I'm still finding it and cleaning it up. It's like they were at the house logged in watching me write about cat puke, and they said, "Let's provide some high-quality provenance of data for our person to use. It's the least we can do. After all, Boring Guy pays for the food anyway."

    I have made it my personal quest/agenda/mission to raise awareness about things that come out of cats.

    It isn't about YOU at ALL. :p
