Honestly People
Mar. 10th, 2003 02:16 amTODAY, SUNDAY
Today I did nothing in particular all day really; I alternated lying on my bed listening to music with doing various miscellaneous things which needed doing. It was very therapeutic. That combined with having not seen the sun since Friday afternoon has largely cured the depression I was suffering from these last few days. I really need sunglasses.. I used to wear sunglasses always, prompting everyone's favorite Lee Weissman once to speculate "I thought you had an eye sensitivity condition" or something. They prevented the sun from making me depressed. d=

Did You Know...?
...that I'd never said a bad word till I reached college? Fuckin crazy isn't it. See the thing is, there's no precedent (and man I'm starting to realize I use that word a lot.. what can I say, I like the word) for me overruling absolute decisions I've made. As in, when I was in like.. second grade or something ..I said to myself "bad words are lame, I hereby declare that I shall never use them." And I dunno about other people, but I'm big on not allowing myself to break promises, even to myself. And so, with no mechanism for overruling or repealing my own decisions, the ruling I had made in second grade stood till the end of high school. Finally I was just like "look Kris, this is freakin ridiculous, let us declare this thing repealed." And so it was.. but only after lobbying on the part of numerous among the voices in my head for years on end.
There remains mental legislation preventing me from smoking or doing any drugs other than alcohol, legislation I have no intention of repealing. I am immune to peer pressure. Heck you have no idea how much peer pressure I went through of "kris.. say fuck... c'mon... pleease?" and awkward situations where it became obvious to everyone around that I was lamely avoiding profanity.
I also will not lie. This of course poses problems growing up with parents who say think that drinking and numerous other completely acceptable things should be soundly prevented. On such subjects where one may find it advantageous to lie I set a firm policy of not answering in any conditions. To "Will there be drinking at this party?" the answer was always "I will not answer that question" even if I knew as a fact there would NOT be drinking. In the end I think these policies really paid off, in disagreements with my little brother (who inversely had a tendency to be creative with the truth) and questions of my activities the night previous I could provide answers without the parents doubting the validity of my answers; as opposed to my good friend Alberto who's parents suspected him of deviousness in the most mundane of pursuits.
On Current Allegations
Much as I hate to stoop to the level of drama-mongering that a certain individual has abjectly immersed herself in, the gravity of her most recent insanity I feel warrants one more firm counter-strike of reason.
The evil and malevolent female who shall go unnamed has now deviated so far from the truth as to make it my justified obligation to rebut, and I apologize to those who are not party to this little drama for dragging you in, and to those held inescapable to her webs for not being there to and aware of these trickeries when first they were set out.
As to her allegations which I did things and/or was involved in things which I was not -and I assure you I was pretty much not involved in anything she has asserted- I ask her audience to ask her for specific dates, and why and how it came to occur. I can account for every day and every evening of these last two months thanks largely in fact to this livejournal. I fear not the truth for truly am I innocent.
As to her allegations that I made claims regarding other people which were not true, I challenge anyone to find someone to whom I've made such statements regarding anyone. It has always been my policy to NEVER confirm nor deny (for the habit of denying can obviously lead to accidental confirmation when denial cannot be made) such a relationship with ANYONE, and as such neither false nor even true testimony on my part on that subject has ever been issued.
And doesn't all this underhanded treachery firmly fit the definition of the one original claim made against me, of "talking mad shit?"
