What is it about me that makes people refuse to admit to themselves that I'm a jerk? I'm not joking when I say I'm a jerk, and it's not my fault when people can't understand that. I feel I've given more than ample information as to what it is I do, and others too give continual warnings about me. Being victimized is always a choice. I can only use you as far as you let me. Because I never force anything against the person's will. So when people deliberately choose to ignore the warnings and get involved with me, they're entering a contract in which I assume they've read the fine print, of which there is no fine print because, again, I've made it painfully evident what I do. It's all there plainly, and you can't blame me for your own failure to understand. Take the warning label on cigarettes, for example. People choose to ignore that and to start smoking, then when they get lung cancer, all of a sudden it's the tobacco company's fault even though they sure loved them before the diagnosis. It's just plain ignorant. As for the lying, I do lie. Everybody knows I lie consistently and deliberately. It's not my job to discern the truth for you. I assume that you know I'm a pathological lier and that you would be on watch for that. That's all just part of the game and it comes with the territory. Hers is exactly the kind of thinking I got into this business to seek out and eliminate, and everything she's doing is just further evidence that I'm right. I'm always right. Look at her and you'll see what happens when you don't listen to me. Look at her and you'll see exactly why everybody's got it all wrong but me. This is nothing new. Look back in the Desk archives, remember back to anything I've ever said, and you'll see everything I've talked about here. I've even said on many occasions that I'm not opposed to getting involved, and that doing so is nothing special, as long as she is willing to understand and admit what she's getting into. When they don't, it is through no fault of mine, but their own conscious ignorance, that people go all crazy, and that's their problem. Everybody'd be a lot better off if they just listened to me.
