It isn't being prejudiced, it's being receptive to the kind of person they are without my own head making excuses for them. Prejudice would be assuming they're an asshole before meeting them, whereas this is removing all of my own thought from the equation and instead letting them stand up on their own, without any opinion of my own, positive or negative. The problem used to be entirely too positive prejudice, now there's none at all.

 

In other words, I make up my mind about somebody after the first few chance encounters and decide after a while whether or not they're the kind of person I want to associate with. Sometimes I make friends with them, sometimes I don't bother talking to them again unless it's unavoidable.

when I heard the news I didn't cry either it was just a state of shock. But a few days later it hit me & then I was really sad

 

This is perfectly normal and is probably what most people experience.

 

I personally try to avoid using the word love at all times. It is an emotion, a relation, a state, a verb, a noun. Nice, warm and fuzzy, feels good, yes, but it is a horribly inexact term.

 

It doesn't help that we spent a great deal of our fiction mythologizing it. Love is nowhere near as mysterious as we like to pretend it is.

On love, there is one friend who means everything to me. This person actually answers when I call and calls me back too. I told her how I feel, but I also told her that it is not a sexual thing. You just never know what kind of shit is going to happen tomorrow, which is why I needed to tell her. (there was a shoot-out not 200 ft from me in August)

Sadly though, this friend is literally twice my age. That means I will almost certainly outlive her, which is something I will simply not be willing to deal with when the time comes. I wish that I could subtract 15 years from my life and give them to her. I would do it in a second. I try to talk to her as much as I can without being annoying (two or three times a week). I also made her a necklace with a 3D printer.

Well, we've all done that. As the classic line from Shakespeare goes: "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Wouldst thou bestow upon me a trinket of thermally deposited polylactic acid that I might wear upon my person and be reminded of thy l33t 3D modelling skillz?"

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
