"It is the curse of the weak to destroy what they don't comprehend because the unknown frightens them. Rather like a child that is afraid of monsters under the bed but is afraid to light a candle and explore if there is anything really there at all. Instead they lay there all night, shivering in dread, for no other reason but stupidity and cowardice. They don't face their fears because they don't want to understand the nature behind them. They don't want to see their own failings. They have to demolish everything that makes them nervous or frightened because it makes them feel big and powerful when in reality, they are nothing more than ants." - Janus, "The Story of Magus Ch. 18" by ZealPropht

I'm a little surprised at the e-mail I got this evening. I sent an e-mail to check up on a friend, or at least, I like to think of him as a friend, at college. In the reply, I found out he knew about and read my LJ. I was surprised. And a bit embarassed I think. More surprising to me is going to be if once he sees some of the friends locked posts in conjunction with a couple of the earlier unlocked ones he still speaks to me. I'm shocked he hasn't written me off as crazy and not worth talking to already. We'll see what happens. It's actually a pleasant surprise.

crazy? you are not crazy.

I have been reading your journal for months and you seem to be a bit lonely but not crazy. You have a refreshingly unique point of view.

Crazy?

Are you kidding? I've done plenty of magic(k) in my time, and I know that you are definitely not crazy. Of course, I was sort of scared away from magic in general after some really bad juju came my way... heh, messing around with things I shouldn't have been...

Anyway, I probably should have told you that I knew about your LJ... sorry about that. I was actually worried about you thinking that I was crazy. For some reason, when I tell most people my personal thoughts, they tend to get that impression... I still don't know why. I guess I didn't know that you would be worried about the same.

I don't consider being crazy a bad thing. I find your live journal reports to be more like action-packed battle reports, which are fun to read. Also I'm wondering how are you got yourself to be all psychic and stuff??? -Iniach

Well... You ARE a bit crazy, but IMHO anyone who isn't at least a LITTLE crazy is too boring to bother with! ;) Actually, judging from your LJ entries and your homepage you are so like me in basic attitude and outlook on life that it's a bit spooky. There's nothing wrong with how you are, it just makes it difficult for others to understand you effectively. My only suggestion is that you maybe try and see what it's like to give occasional brief views of your thoughts to some of the people whom you think could make good friends if you let them in. It can have quite wonderful and sometimes surprising results. (yes I did try this recently and have probably gained the closest friend that I've ever had for it)


Someone whom you've met more than once =P
