The Desk.

A Dignified Countenance, and a little bit of Soul.

It's that time again. Here's everyone making my life difficult right now and why they feel the need to do so. I'm going to use the numbers again because it's a good way to do what I want to do without using names, and, let's face it, it's fun for everyone, even when it is painfully obvious who's who. But here's the trick for ths time: I'm going to discuss the whole lot in relation to a particular situation and I know you know what I'm talking about.

1 is the one whom this situation is regarding, and I don't feel the need to discuss her particulars in depth because you'll get it with the rest of the thing. 2 has been put at number 2 because she has never before been second to anyone in her whole life; princesses like her never are. Especially given her fear of being replaced in a certain other venue, she feels an extra need to hold onto everything else, making it all the more difficult to get away from her when it was alright before. Even though she "knows" that my intentions with 1 are nothing that would interfere with our arrangment, she doesn't like the increased amount of time 1 has taken, or the attitude that 1 has apparently adopted towards her. We established early on that our arrangment would never interfere with other things either of us was doing at any time, but the combination of my shift of focus and a new little animal at home has thrown her into a state of confusion, fear, and jealousy. That's right, I went there. Prove me wrong. 3 has been put at number three because she proudly fills the office of Corporal Thirdwheel. A lot. This is hard to avoid, given her relationship to 1, but you'd think one of the two of them would catch a hint once in a while. She has it in her head that she's back in, but not only is she not, she never was. Luckily for me, though, she is on 1's side in a way that the rest of them aren't. And this stems from her different theory on my intentions with 1. So since it has to be someone in that role, it's good for me that it's 3, otherwise I wouldn't stand a fighting chance; 3 at least lets me in and gives me information I need and helps the both of us out. 4 is a boy-crazy whore with a new crush every week. She and others don't know the difference between the incapacity for emotion and just not throwing it around at everybody who gives you a passing glance. She is no position to give relationship advice to anyone, ever, and I should hope none of you put any stock in anythng she says. Luckily my very presence is enough to drive her away, so I personally don't have to deal with her anymore. 5 is the biggest hypocrite in the lot, but that's normal in a psychologist. She refuses to believe that I'm nothing more than a heartless jackass, but only if it's for her that I'm not a heartless jackass. If it's for 1, then naturally I am just a heartless jackass and 1 ought have nothing to do with me. You see, that whole thing had nothing to do with me; she just wanted to play Freud and be the one to exorcise my demons. Classic bad-boy self-esteem appeal - what would that say about her if she was the one to tame the wolf. Well she's just got her green card now, but that doesn't mean she can work her voodoo here. 6 I still haven't figured out beyond simple green, and that might just be it; all I know is the more time she spends with 4, the better. Who knows, maybe those two'll run off and get married and be out of my hair forever. Her and 5 scares me just a little bit; I never know what they might be plotting. These last three are working under the guise that I'm only luring 1 into my trap so I can work my emotionally sadistic wagic on her like I've done so many other times, and that they're there to protect her from me because they don't have much confidence in her. But of course that's all to paint over the green. Oh well. I think that does it for my primary issues. There's a whole network of people affected by this dynamic, namely the guys next door, but I'm good for them. I make them the good guys, and herd the flock right into their pen and that's good for all of us.

Now here comes the really pretentious part (as if the notion that these people's motivations all stem from my behaviors wasn't the really pretentious part). As much as all these people claim to hate me right now, that can change any time I want it to. You know and I know that the second I let any of them back in, they'll be eating out of my hand again. I have that kind of power, and I don't know where it comes from, but almost across the board they desperately want to have something to do with me. It's all situational - these people have no ties built on actual conviction - and as soon as I decide to change the situation, they'll be wherever I put them and they'll want whatever I make them want. That's right, I went there too.

Side note: everybody needs a bad guy and a scapegoat for all they're problems. I'm doing you people a service by filling that role and giving you an easy one, otherwise you might just accuse the Jews or somebody else undeserving of your hatred and unprepared to stomach it. My scapegoat of course is y'all, so it evens out.
