qcontinuumI now know why everyone always thought I was annoying.
I mean, of course I always knew that people considered me annoying, and I even deliberately encouraged it. (When I wasn't encouraging them to run away in terror.) But I never took an objective look at my own behavior, from the outside, and said to myself, "Yes indeed, if anyone did that to *me* I *would* be highly annoyed."
I am now taking an objective look at a mischievous, young, trickstery creature who is not quite intentionally creating total havoc and whose strong emotional attachment to a friend of mine is leading that friend to be warped out of all recognition...
I confess. I was an asshole. Mea culpa. This is the most annoying thing I've had to watch in a long long time. And I'm *fond* of chaos-wreakers. As long as they don't mess with my friends' minds.
