[Blindtlk] Fired up and cooking now

Mon Jun 27 19:24:31 UTC 2011

I vehemently deny that I was ever well-behaved.  *grin*  No more then   
than now.  In fact then I was worse, because I didn’t have a focus 
for my general uncooperativeness and distrust of authority.  I did 
think I was pretty lucky to be a "high partial", though.  Kept 
telling myself that into adulthood when I doubted what I could really 
do with my life, too.

It took a lot of people to convince me otherwise—the only one of 
which I expect is reading this message is our own Miss Heather.  I 
dunno when exactly they got through to me, and I doubt they do 
either.  But they did.  Wish I’d figured all of that out a decade 
sooner.  *smile*

Then again, a decade sooner, I’d have probably told them all what 
they could do with their sleepshades, for starters.  It would not 
have ended well, most likely.
