I'm regressing, and I think you are too!

Looks like you're off to an early start. You're a
high school stoner. So mom and dad are still
around to inhibit your fun (unless you're lucky
enough to have them light up with you) but soon
there's college if you can make it there, and
believe me, man, it's goooood.


What kind of stoner are you?

Today I'd like to bring up another of my many faults. This is one that affects me and my interpersonal relationships, the way I feel about people and hence, the way I treat them. I can't help but treat people in accordance with my feelings toward them...good or otherwise; but that's not the fault I'm talking about here.

I have this way of looking at people I like in a way that minimizes or erases most of thier faults. I turn them into a literary character more or less. Likewise, if i don't like you, I'll be annoyed by things and behaviors that i would tolerate in someone I liked more. And if there are things I don't know about you, I'll sort of fill the blanks in my own mind, based on what I already know about you.

The problem becomes when a person behaves in a way which deviates from my perception of them. Even though I made up the perception in my mind, I feel betrayed, horrified, even lied to by people who are really just going around living thier lives. So either I'm going to have to get a handle on this, or you're all going to have to start being as cool and non-fucked up as you are in my mind--ALL the time.
