I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so
What I have been telling you, from alpha to omega, what is the one great thing the sigil taught me — that everything in life is miraculous. For the sigil taught me that it rests within the power of each of us to awaken at will from a dragging nightmare of life made up of unimportant tasks and tedious useless little habits, to see life as it really is, and to rejoice in its exquisite wonderfulness. If the sigil were proved to be the top of a tomato-can, it would not alter that big fact, nor my fixed faith. No Harrowby, the common names we call things by do not matter — except to show how very dull we are ...

Not much excitement since my last update. Work went pretty smoothly today. The weather was much more comfortable. That makes it much easier. I recruited a woman with the same name as the girl I had my first date with. I should have used that as an opening to ask her out. I don�t do things like that though.
The job gives me a lot of time to think and I actually thought of something to write about today. My good points and bad points, as I perceive them. A caveat before I begin. If you disagree with my virtues or agree with my faults I don�t really want to hear that. (Make note to include not taking criticism well as a fault.)
I�m intelligent. I�ve said that before, it�s the thing I�m most confident about.
I�m charming. I�m not nearly as certain about that. Maybe I�m deluding myself but I pull of charming people when I get them to register for focus groups with me.
I�m funny. I don�t mean funny looking either. Now this is a notion I like to reinforce. If you laugh at my jokes you earn major points with me. I figure if I only talk to people who like my jokes that makes me funny.
I�m loyal. Of course so is a cocker spaniel.
I have good reflexes and manual dexterity. I know I�m a klutz but I�m good with my hands. People are always surprised when they see me handle a deck of cards.
I have good taste in music, film, literature ( Jurgen not withstanding), and friends.
I�m out going. I deal with my shyness by fighting it head on.
I�m a good writer in terms of ideas and use of words.
I�m lazy. Not a little lazy a lot lazy.
For reasons I can�t explain I can�t get myself to do some things no matter how important they are. For example I am bad at getting checks out in time. This is my biggest problem.
I�m a terrible athlete. I�m super slow and not very strong. The only things I am good at are things that require reflexes and eye hand coordination.
I have no musical talent. I love music but I can�t sing or play an instrument. I�ve had plenty of training on instruments too.
I�m clingy. I stick as tight to people as Jian�s shirts.
I have no idea how to use commas.
I start to many sentences with �I.�
I almost forgot. I don�t take criticism well.
I signed the Pro-Truth Pledge:
please hold me accountable.
