> I’ve had to, albeit perhaps reluctantly, absent a few people from my life with a fair degree of prejudice as it wereI’m not afraid to ‘doorslam’ people where necessary. Though it is still treated as a nuclear option. Now if only I could force the impression of them *out of my head* with the same effectiveness.
|

|
||
|
||
> the core of my friends has been pretty soundThat’s exactly it. Some come and go but those that stick with you, hang on for the crazy ride, those are the true friends.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> what happens when I meet someone who says “HELL, yeah! Let’s do it YESTERDAY!”Okay I didn’t think of that. That could be dangerous. Could be the ride of a lifetime. Then again, may well be the ride to end it too!
|

|
||
> How do they *find* us?Maybe they are drawn to our wavelength, I dunno. Something something energy vampires something something…
|
||
|
||
|
||
> And why are we suckered in each time?Hell if I know. It all seems right at the time, and then looking back the red flags overshadow all else.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> a *little* different to the average, maybe … but that’s not necessarily a *bad* thing.As I scribbled the other day, sod average.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> It’s a matter of degree, you seeOh aye. Insanity is a sliding scale, and there is definitely a too far. But there’s also a ‘too boring’.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> but I *am* as sane as sane can *be* … *that* much I *know* to be the case.Well of course…to think otherwise would be *madness*.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> You can do your best but that’s all even *you* can ask of yourself.Yeah. Got to keep reminding myself of that.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> that post-coital, as it were, sensation of “Holy crap!”Well put.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> But the preceding “Whoa, shit!” moment isn’t as much fun, I have to say.No, decidedly not.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> Still … the latter is the price we pay for the formerPrecisely. If it wasn’t shit-scary it wouldn’t give kicks and therefore we wouldn’t bother with it.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> You know … I hadn’t thought of it that way — I was just behaving rationally : DFair enough. I like it phrased that way because it adds an element of ‘up yours’ aimed at the universe ;)
|
||
|
||
|
||
> But I did still take a *calculated* risk each timeInsomuch as calculations are *done,* the exact manner, weight and outcome of which are to remain unspecified ;D
|
||
|
||
|
||
> Dunno … quite like the idea of “Do you attend some kind of self-help group?” “Naaaaaah” ; )…
|
||
|
||
Dude. I didn’t even spot that.
|
||
|
||
Okay that’s way better than ‘M.A.D’.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> Albeit the act could be called ‘Dangerous To Know’This should be a thing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> and that would, of necessity, be a *bad* thing and the kind of stupid thing I *don’t* do .. so, I dunno <sigh>Damn. Can’t see a way out of that one. Unless of course one of the reasons that you are Mad is that you associate with Bad.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> It’s a reference to children with Special Educational NeedsOh so I *did *get it, I just didn’t realise I did.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> Yup … I was just lamenting the fact, not criticising : )Fair enough. Also damn you for calling it a ‘leather onsie’ because that can’t be un-thought. It’s put me right off racing style suits…
|
||
|
||
|
||
> think I’d go beserk if that were *all* there were to do though.You and me both.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> But only one that can end your life without killing you — be careful what you wish for ; )Gah, ain’t that the truth.
|
||
|
||
|
||
> more than a little inclined towards acts of excessive violence of the kind that give the word ‘atrocities’ (note the plural, for there will be *many*) a whole new meaning.Oh I have no doubt. Probably for the best if this is combated from happening in the foreseeable future. In the meantime, it should be known that we are ‘Dangerous to Know’ ;)
|
||
|
||
|
||
> if you *hadn’t* ruined my life, not only would I *not* be, I’d be a *happier* person now *to boot*, you cow!In that context, it makes perfect sense. But there’s still nothing either of us can do about it, — bar sudden and unexpected inspiration regarding how to put a reverse switch into the inexorable trickle of time — unfortunately.

> Indeed … but not [mind-numbingly, spirit-crushingly, soul-sappingly, mundane](https://medium.com/@WhereAngelsFearToTread/tour-de-force-b6340ce347ae) at least.At the very least we have that.
