Why I'm not allowed to write philosophy
Julian (obviously in the middle of some fannish rant): Sure, I can say I've done a good job analyzing the character, but honestly, is there any sport in analyzing J5? He's all out in the open. He doesn't hold back, he tells you exactly what he thinks, he has no huge secrets hidden; in fact, the one major secret is the one that he doesn't even know the answer to, why he's alive---
Philosophical!Me: Oh, but do any of us know how or why we're here?
Julian (a la Crow): Uhm, our mommies?
Philosophical!Me: Now now, you know that's not what I meant. The fact that there's any life on earth, much less concious life, is--
Julian: GOOD LAWD WOMAN I was just talking about frakking Short Circuit I'm not here to get into a huge discussion on Life, the Universe, and Everything!
Philosophical!Me: Well excuuuuse me for being that part of your mind that is instantly drawn to asking the pointless, philosophical questions of life.
Julian: Yeah, well, you're not really needed right now. (pause) DAMNIT I forgot where I was going with that whole rant thing, I give in. So, do you believe we'll ever find an answer?
Philosophical!Me (thinking) : Hmmm, I always figured we'd only really know for sure after we died...
Julian: But what if there's nothing after death?
Philosophical!Me: Well, then, we'll know that atheism is right and there is no God and Afterlife and probably no souls, either!
Julian: Nuh-uh, we wouldn't know, we'd be oblivion.
Philosophical!Me: Oh, must you make everything hard for me? No wonder I stopped playing with you a long time ago. *snooty*
