Oh the humanity! How shall we survive?
Will everyone just take it down a notch for once? stop with all the bullshit, saying things without saying them... blah blah blah etc.
Seriously.. I know 8 year olds that have just taken something but are at least to-the-point and honest about it when they get caught...
What is it these days? Everyone is saying that they are sooo concerned with other peoples feelings and they don't want to hurt them blah blah blah... they're too frail to hear the truth... blah blah blah... so, they go and tell their bestfriend some bullshit story with the underlying message of "I just slept with your boyfriend"
No, this did not just happen to me or anyone I know.. just an example.
But why do that to someone and then give the excuse that you "care about them, and don't want to hurt them"?? If you didn't want to hurt them, you wouldn't of slept with their boyfriend in the first place.
Ta-dow! (...)
In other news, I've started reading 'The Prince and the Pauper' by Mark Twain... I believe it's by him... yes, I think so.
Anyways, one of the first pages is this ting that I can't really explain so I'm just going to copy it onto my blog.
HUGH LATIMER, BISHOP OF WORCHESTER, TO LORD CROMWELL, ON THE BIRTH OF THE PRINCE OF WALES (AFTERWARD EDWARD VI)
(from the National Manuscripts Preserved by the British Government)
Ryght honorable, Salutem in Christo Jesu, and Syr here ys no lesse joynge and rejossynge in thes partees for the byrth of our prynce, hoom we hungurde for so longe, then ther was (I trow), inter vicinos att the byrth of S.I. baptyste, as thys berer, Master Erance, can telle you. Gode gyffe us alle grace, to yelde dew thankes to our Lorde Gode, Gode of Inglonde, for verely He hathe shoyd Hym selff Gode of Inglonde, or rather an Inglyssh Gode, yf we consydyr and pondyr welle alle Hys procedynges with us from tyme to tyme. He hath overcumme alle our yllnesse with Hys excedynge goodnesse, so that we ar now moor then compellyd to serve Hym, seke Hys glory, promott Hys wurde, yf the Devylles of alle Devylles be natt in us. We have now the stooppe of vayne trustes ande the stey of vayne expectations, lett us alle pray for hys Grace allways have, and evyn now from the begynynge, Governares, Instructores, and offyceres of ryght jugmente, ne optimum ingenium non optima educatione depravetur. Butt whatt a grett fowlle am I! So, whatt devotione shoyth many tymys butt lytelle dyscretione! Ande thus the Gode of Inglonde be ever with you in alle your procedynges

19 october, that's like, my birthday, COINCIDENCE
Enjoy the book, I suppose.
Yes, very good. Feed your anger.
I'm jesting.
But this is why I maintain a super strict code of conduct with people (honesty, blunt and or upfrontedness). My tact comes very much second nature to me and I usually only use it when I am unsure of the person (don't know them all that well yet) or if you are very much plain that you are exceedingly fragile.
Like not YOU specifically, but the "you" is whomever I'm dealing with that is fragile to the extreme.
Shielding someone's feelings doesn't seem to have ever done any good that I have seen, and it more often makes things worse (unless the person can't take anything and you destroy them by telling them that their hair is standing up. In that case you merely manipulate THEM into saying what you would have told them straight up, anyways.)
Right.
So since I don't know what EXACTLY you were referring to, you get that.
And it's interesting writing, but I think he was trying to mimic Olde English. I write I think because I don't recall anything that I've read ever looking like that.
