What you see, hear, and read ain't always what you get.

I really, really dislike that delay between how intelligent something sounds inside your brain, and how stupid it sounds when it’s actually escaped your mouth. I have a filter, I do, it’s just clogged a bit.

   Part of that filter is my own appearance/popularity/having friends/community/a dreaded social life being like “You weirdo! No one’s going to like what you say ‘cause you’re just WEIRD, aren’t you?!” So that’s not very nice. I think my main goal of survival in this world has become a vision like this: going through everyday life, not offending people, keepin’ to meself, keepin’ mah head down, speaking quietly and hopefully going unnoticed. Then there’s my other side (yep, there are a lot of them-it’s a divisive community) going “Do whatever the hell you want and be proud, no one can beat you down! Say what you like, if people can’t deal that’s their problem!”
