Thirty-third flirtation

[lecherous_kappa]

So I've been doing a lot of thinking. A hell of a lot of thinking. And... I'm good with this. No more bullshit. No more hypocrisy. No more demanding pity and acting like I can't be down from shit too. Am I happy? Not yet, but I'm getting there

How d'you know when you get to happy? I 'eard it moves around a bit.

[lecherous_kappa]

It moves around a whole hell of a lot, Cheerful, but you know when you're not feeling so torn up inside anymore. I know that talking to you gets me closer.

'ard to chase after anything if your guts are torn up. Guess it means to not keep eatin' glass and pointy things.

[lecherous_kappa]

Yeah, that's good advice. You just have to cut the sharp and pointy things out of your diet, then happiness gets a hell of a lot easier to chase.

[cornered_circle]

You should probably keep 'old of all the pointy things, tho', so once you catch up to happiness, you can hold it hostage.

[lecherous_kappa]

If I keep hold of the sharp and pointy things, I might wind up getting cut a lot more. Maybe I'll just be nice to happiness when I catch up to it, and hope it sticks around.

Maybe after a while y'learn to enjoy it. Part 'a the process.

Or maybe you could try tape, if you want it to stick to you.

[lecherous_kappa]

I don't like being cut up on the inside or the outside. I don't want to enjoy it.

But tape, there we go. I'll go find some tape. Glue for the Monkey, tape for happiness.

What if it's all a trick, and the only way to happiness is to learn to enjoy misery? S'all a state of mind.

But tape sounds healthier! An' that sounds like one 'a those word-association games. Glue is to Monkey, as Tape is to... an' then you 'ave to pick an answer. Was always terrible at that.

[lecherous_kappa]

A lot of people seem happy that don't go through misery. I'm hoping that's not it.

But we already picked the answer, Cheerful. Glue is to Monkey as Tape is to Happiness.

Maybe they've already gotten all used to it, so they're delirious with joy. Or just delirious.

But that one's easy, even obvious! They usually try t'trick you.

[lecherous_kappa]

I don't like being delirious. Shit happens and I don't know what the hell is real or fake when I'm out of it. Though damn, it would be nice to be drunk right about now.

That's because I made it. I won't try to trick you. And if you find some that don't seem to make sense, bring them on over and we'll figure them out, all right?

[cornered_circle]

Does real or fake matter? Pick what sounds best, and make it real. Can y'get drunk?

Good, 'cause I don't like being tricked! An' sure! Was never good at those logic puzzles...

[lecherous_kappa]

It's not all that easy, but I wish like hell it was. Though I can try to make what I want real to be real. I can. It's damn nice sometimes.

Some of them aren't as much logic as it is being stupid and trying to make others look stupid.

[cornered_circle]

Nothin' worthwhile is easy, I heard. Maybe that just means people need lower standards?

'Simple minds, simple pleasures' - tha' sorta thing?

[lecherous_kappa]

I don't know. I don't want to lower mine.

Are you calling us both simple? That's not very nice to either of us, Cheerful.
