aha! seee, though.. i'm the same way. i almost never get honestly mad at people. and if/when i do... it's normally not long lasting. but oh, heaven help the person or people i'm mad at. because if you've pushed me that far, you must have done something horribly, unmistakingly WRONG. ::laugh:: only i always say i got my temper from my father, who had quite an explosive one at that. ah, well. at least i have mom's good sense and a somewhat level head.

(and the funny thing is that when actually confronted, i know when to back down most times. to let it go. many a huge fight with senta has been avoided in such a fashion. one morning, many years ago, i said something to her - because she was bad-mouthing mom, sortof - and she was quick to shove me into a wall, get in my face and tell me off. it was our one really major fight, although several small ones have followed as a result of my dating people/making new friends. she pretty much hates everyone i've dated and that leads me to fight back verbally. i mean... part of me still loves the people of my past. it's not cool for other people to bash them!)

wheeeeeee, mel goes on a tangent. again. ^__^; ... and now, i'm going because (dot dot dot - keep reading) ... of the reason stated below for not getting on aim. :P

(i can't get on aim because dinner's gonna be ready in all of 5 minutes and i'd just have to go anyway. ::nudge:: )

...'night, andrew!
