do you think jesus would forgive me for slapping the fool smile off of someone near his birthday or would that just make it worse?

[Obviously this wasn't meant for everyone to enjoy and consider, but sometimes people drive her a little more than crazy.

She's joking, though. Mostly. Like 90% joking.]

Did he deserve it?

[Because that is the important question.]

Re: text;

[wordaday]

absolutely

[You know what, she's just gonna own it.]

[assays]

Then I think Jesus would forgive you.

Re: text;

[wordaday]

that's what I was thinking, too

and even if he doesn't he's just gonna have to accept it

[assays]

Exactly.

I hope he doesn't cause you any other kind of grievances. Otherwise, you'd have to slap him again.

[wordaday]

oh, i never slapped him in the first place.

thought about it real hard, though

[assays]

That's a feeling I'm all too familiar with.

What do you think you'll do about him?

[divaricate]

sometimes you just have to do it.

so yeah.

it's probably fine.

Re: text

[wordaday]

the more i think about it the less bad i feel, actually

text

[divaricate]

that's the spirit -- no regrets, etc etc etc.

just. you know, obviously leave or something before they have a chance to slap you back.

Re: text

[wordaday]

i'm not really gonna hunt him down just to slap him

but the thought is really nice

[divaricate]

also fair.

if I had a dollar every time I slapped someone just in my head..

[wordaday]

oh, i'd be filthy rich and living in a big old mansion

i HAVE had to hit someone with a drink tray before. that's not actually that satisfying.

[divaricate]

Maybe it should have been two drink trays.

I've thrown cars on someone before and that WAS pretty satisfying. It wasn't here, and he's fine because he was wearing a protective metal suit at the time, but still.

[go big or go home?!?]

id reads robin

[performance]

Wait, were we SUPPOSED to stop punching jerks in the face around Christmastime?

[wordaday]

the reason for the season is peace and love for your fellow man, so generally yes?

[performance]

Oh no, I completely agree!
But if they start it...

[wordaday]

you should turn the other cheek.

do as I say and not as I do doesn't really work here, huh?

[performance]

Sorry. Superhero. But I appreciate that someone out there has their heart in the right place.

What'd they do?

[wordaday]

he was talking about ruining santa for kids and pretending it was the pragmatic thing to do

["Pragmatic" that was one of her word-a-day calendar words a few months ago. Feels good to finally use it.]

[inmyothertights]

Something tells me you probably don't care too much what Jesus thinks.

[wordaday]

well, usually i do. and in my defense, i'm normally not a physical kind of gal.

but i guess this going out to everyone is my answer from upstairs

[inmyothertights]

oh

sorry

[wordaday]

it's alright. it's my fault, i probably should'be kept it to myself anyway.

[inmyothertights]

nah not talking about this is how you end up actually punching someone in the face

[wordaday]

i've got about 26 years that says that's not totally accurate

[inmyothertights]

this place brings out the garbagey feelings faster than you think

[wordaday]

garbagey. i love that. i'm using that from now on.

but you're not wrong. :C

[shifting]

You could just let me do it instead. Who's being an asshole?

[wordaday]

you don't need to fight my battles for me

but it's crane

[Well at least the message finally got to the intended person.]

[shifting]

Not even to get you in good graces for Christmas?

Anyway, I don't think it'd be much of a battle. [he's seen that guy, he looks pretty punch-able.]

[wordaday]

it could never hurt. but if you're angling for a better christmas present, I already bought it.

you're right though, I think a good stiff breeze could snap him in half.

1/2

[shifting]

well shit. It was worth a shot.

-> private

[shifting]

[but in all seriousness:]

Everything's actually okay though?

[he'll never not worry.]

Re: -> private

[wordaday]

it's fine, i just can't stand people who like to pretend they're above it all for the fun of it.

i'm just glad i don't have to hear what's actually going on in there.

private

[shifting]

have you met anyone else here with the same gift? Could be there's someone else. You could get advice on tuning people out better when you need to.

Re: private

[wordaday]

i've thought about it. there's no way i'm the only one like this around here, i figure. but i wouldn't even know where to look. :(

i could ask about it but i don't know how to make it look like it's not me posting something.

private

[shifting]

I think there's a way to post and be anonymous. Not sure.

Maybe at the next imPort get-together, just try to be heard? Mentally? See if anyone answers.

[storyseeker]

I've heard he's very forgiving.

Re: text;

[wordaday]

true

maybe it would be worse on easter?

text;

[storyseeker]

Definitely worse. But hey, you've got months before you have to worry about it.

Re: text;

[wordaday]

thank god. i can get all my slapping in between now and then

text;

[storyseeker]

Do I want to know why you have so much slapping to do?
