Crazy magnet
Just when I thought this week couldn't get more surreal in the drawing fire from people out of left field, another facebook person chose to engage me. Someone I really don't even know that well so I could care less if they unfriend me. But I was bored, I needed a distraction so I kept trying to explain to this person that they were missing the point of my post but nothing and I mean NOTHING was gonna dissuade her from her belief. I don't know if it's any correlation that she's a friend of Jimb the guy from the Theremin war earlier this week. But I'm starting wonder if they all got hold of something that heightened emotional aspects of the brain while blocking all rational thought.
What followed was the longest thread I've ever had on Facebook, truly epic at over 70 posts so far, not counting the ones she deleted early on because.. well not sure why. Unlike the Jimb Jackson one where I actually really care about what the hell it was about this one was just so ludicrous it was fun. It's long but it gets funnier (to me) as it goes. It all sounds like a pissing match which it is, just that only one of us is seriously bent out of shape about it.
One of my friends has fielded the theory that somehow I've become a Crazy Person Magnet. The idea is starting have merit. I mean I know I can be an asshole, sometimes I even take a certain level of pride in being one. But I've never caught more hell than this week for stuff, I said when I wasn't even trying to offend anyone. C'mon folks wait till I say something really offensive before you go off on it. You can hate me for something I actually did if you wait long enough. Cause I know I'll say something eventually that will offend you.
But if I tell you "that's what you think I meant but here is what I was actually saying", you can pretty well be assured it's the truth.
I won't soothe hurt feelings just to keep you a friend, if it means lying about it. .
I like it this way, no walking on eggshells, no drama. It's my acid test for weeding out the overly sensitive, unintelligent or just plain too serious..
Plus the kind of people I like to have around me generally are going to see whatever I do for what it is, my dark and twisted sense of humor mostly. They don't tend stress over it and hardly ever get offended by it and when they do they feel free to tell me. I in return don't get offended by what they say or do as easily either..
Anyway if you are on facebook read the epic thread, it's kinda funny. I'd post it here but it'd take me 4 or 5 posts to get it down.
