I'm thinking that this survey thing is more than a little bit "off" if you know what I mean.

We all have them.  But, when those tendancies take a more sinister turn, we delve into the realm of schadenfreude

In honor of that (and in honor of Boston Legal, over-all), I present Schadenfreude Pie (not my invention, but sounds damned good to me!

Sounds like it would go well with my old favorite romantic interests: Dark and bitter. ;)

Naughty, naughty, winterhart534. I don't typically run with these, but since you asked, I present:


( Six Odd Things )

HERE COMES THE FUN ... ... ...

1. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Yes

2. Whats your philosophy on life? Some days chicken, some days feathers.

3. Would you have my back in a fight? Already do, don't I?

4. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest? Yes, unless I thought it might harm you or yours by not knowing.

5. What is your favorite memory of us? The time you commented that I never hug you and I told you why.

6. Would you give me a kidney? Only you needed one and only if we were a match... No sense in wasting a limited resource.

7. Tell me one odd/intresting fact about you: You would be shocked and surprised if you knew some of the blogs that I read.

8. Would you take care of me when I'm sick? Depends primarily on logistics plus severity. I mean, we're not exactly next door neighbors, yah? OF course, if you were really sick (like, hospital-sick), I'd do what I could.

9. Can we get together and make a cake? Sure, why not! (As long as I get to lick the spoon). Hey, how 'bout Black Forest Cherry cake? Topped with some German chocolate shavings?

10. Have you heard any rumors of me lately? Nope, but then again, due to logistics, we don't frequent the same orbit. Everything that I've heard has come from you, one way or another.

11. Do you/have you talk(ed) crap about me? Only in jest...

12. Do you think I'm a good person? I certainly do.

13. Would you drive across country with me? As with everything else, logistics first. But, if you needed me to, yes.

14. Do you think I'm attractive?Yes

15. If you could change anything about me, would you? If I could change anything about you, I'ld swap out your fear and self-doubt for the courage and wisdom to be as strong and fearless as I know you can be, underneath everything.

16. What do you wear to sleep? Depends on the weather and who's hanging out in the 'digs. Further expositiory musings are left as an exercise to the reader.

17. Would you come over for no reason just to hang out? Sure would. Would more often if it were closer.

18. Would you go on a date with me if i asked you? Logistics, logistics, logistics. But, barring the obvious potential impediments, yes.

19. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? I hate to consider that situation, but, if it came to pass, anything that you wanted.

20. Will you repost this so i can fill it out for you? Nah, but how 'bout you email something back to me?

When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.

When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.

When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way,
they call me a bitch.

Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I
live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.

When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined
as a bitch.

The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being
everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the
courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't
become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should"
be.

I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and
there is nothing wrong with that!

So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every
ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.

And if that makes me a bitch , so be it. I embrace the title and am
proud to bear it.

It's the elephant in the middle of the room, the 800-pound gorilla, the surgeon's scalpel.

It's that little thing is but we sure wish wasn't.

As unpopular as it is, the actual truth needs to be told more often than it is.  American culture (such as it is) is too like to shrink from the ugly truth, to soft-sell, to back-pedal.  

Telling the truth is, more often than not, an act of revolution.
