Cool.

[kara_marie]

Being one of the cool kids used to mean something to me. I've tried to work out what it meant - because while I was putting so much pressure on myself and so much importance in that I never actually asked myself why. Why did I want it? I still can't tell you. I still don't know

...I like me.

[kara_marie]

Oh, Topher. I find that very sad.

[but_less_scary]

Uh. Why?

[kara_marie]

I can't think of many things more devestating than a person unconditionally liking themselves. It makes us like animals.

We're human. Self loathing is what casts us above the beasts.

Nobody who voluntarily completes an online dating inventory can like themselves that much.

[kara_marie]

It's hard for older people to make boyfriends.

[alan_shore]

That's only because they have standards.

I'd say more often than not the lines get pretty blurred for a lot of people.

But, yeah.

I don't feel any self pity here. I am able to reflect on myself and say honestly some harsh truths.

But mostly people blur that line.

Woe is me.

At the point where what you're looking for is to be the focus of others, I think.

[fakingitsomehow]

I think you're pretty cool, Kara.

[kara_marie]

Well, thanks.

If by a side effect of being who I am and living my life some people think I'm cool... great. But I can't be fucked trying to be anymore.

:)

Um, you don't have to try, you know. If you are, you are, end of story.

Hey, don't talk back to me, anyway. I am The Slayer, all caps. And if I say you're cool, it goes, so... uh... there.

[kara_marie]

Uh huh.

Do we need to go over the fact you're not THE Slayer AGAIN? Or can we just let that one slide, Buffykins?

Everybody's inner asshole should dress like head-Six.

[kara_marie]

Pretty much. I mean, she's super hot!

[reportresurrect]

And she has the attitude too.

[kara_marie]

She really does.
