Re: no applause, just throw money
Hu'tegh! nuq ja' [email protected] jay'?
I agree with everything Will said (sorry, big guy), up to...
=>> Guido#1, Leader of All Guidos
=>> (that's guido with a capital G for God it's such a thrill to be me!!!!!!)*
=>Yeah, I kinda got that feeling. Meanwhile, the joy of
=>experiencing your ego in the first person should not require a
=>cost to similar joys experienced by others.
Awww! I found that Guido-ism hilarious! Of course, I found it struck a vein,
too, but then, when *I* trip my ego... oh, never mind, Krankor's back :)
Fret not, young Mr Guido, you are a superstar and should be given lots of
money very quickly. (I cannot *believe* I actually said something like that
to a fifty-something schoolmarmish world authority on my PhD topic...)
This is not the kind of advice Will's just given you, and in fact, it may
infuriate some here, but it got me through the day when I was hyperventilating
during my jousts with Krankor (which, I suspect, were much more severe than
this run-in with Will, though I could be wrong): Life's too short to be anything
else than what you are. However flaky you may think you act at times ---
you're in control of your life enough that you should not let that bring you
down. One of the things my therapist earnt his money in teaching me...
Now do some Hamlet, son! :)
Just out of interest and for a bit of context: Guido, are you seriously a
teenager? I thought 'naaaah', but come to think of it, it's rather possible,
what with who the net is populated by...
And does it surprise anyone to hear I'm 23? I guess I'm boy wonder (*or*
blunder) no more...
