I mostly react immediately and don't take a lot of time to think it out or formulate much.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Oh, and based on the questions in the survey, I would have to answer "All of the above." It just depends on the topic, my mood, who the poster might be, and how much time I have. Sometimes, I don't post at all, which is also a commentary on what I think of the topic.

I think about it AS i'm typing my reply.

Many a time i will type a reply and decide, "fuck it, burn it"



It's kinda like how i shop, i don't look at a bunch of stuff, if i see something i will almost immediately know if i'm gonna buy it or not.

I have written some rambling drivel, and after reading it, decided that there is no way to fix it so that it would ever make sense. I felt that humanity would be better off if I just logout and pretend that I never did it.

Then, on the other side of the shoe, I have some spark of insanity and inspiration, and feel that I MUST share with me eplayian friends.

I guess the best thing about posting without thinking too much, is that it lets others take a peek inside your twisted mind. Some of the outrageous connections that we as a group make, is what makes this bunch of misfits so special.

When I reply to posts, I try to be analytical, thoughtful, funny and kind. But if someone blathers on about left-field bullshit and disrespects others feelings and opinoins, it really torques my jaws and I'll try the reasoning path first and if that doesn't work, a good "Fuck off" always makes me feel better!

However, I don't curse that much, at least I try not too, but depending on my location, especially while driving on our illustrious freeways, I'll watch all the retarded idiots drive like they've never driven a car in their life. Then I'll unleash the words only God will hear! But I do it in a ladylike fashion. So I won't go to hell.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.
