241: Principle
If there’s any principle I hold completely sacred, it’s honesty. I am not going to censor myself solely for the sake of being polite. That’s how we got a whole world full of repressed sad sacks, and the trick behind repression is that if you do it long enough, you snap. I’m not going to snap, because I don’t repress myself.
I guess that’s why Wonder Girl and I could never get along. Too much the wild child for her blood, I suppose. Too unwilling to repress myself, to pretend I didn’t have the desires I had. She’d be a lot happier if she stopped repressing herself, though; at least, she’d be able to deal with things a lot better. And maybe she wouldn’t have such a huge problem with me.
If anybody else could stand to stop repressing themselves, it’s Tim. He’s way too controlled for his own good. He’s gonna snap one day, and it’s not gonna be pretty. Maybe I ought to take him out for a while, show him a good time and all. Maybe he’ll loosen up enough to start actually having fun. Then again, I hear there’s this girl, Spoiler, back in Gotham that he’s close with, so maybe I’ll leave it up to her. Or maybe we’ll double-team him. That sounds like fun.
