My weakness
We all know that girls are my weakness -- always have been, always will be, I suppose. As a basic part of my nature, I just want to see them happy, and if I can help at all, I'm inclined to do so. It may be connected, thoiugh in what way I'm unsure, to the fact that I don't get along as well or as easily with guys. -shrugs- Just a few gender-specific biases I've noticed, and I don't know that they're all that uncommon.
I do not appreciate being manipulated. It's not cool when my roomie tries to convince me to take him out to a store and, when I say, "no, it's not going to happen," he goes over and has Rose try it. From the moment she asked, I knew what they were trying to pull. As soon as she asked the question, I was both offended and angered. And still, I was very inclied to say "Fine, we'll go, but only cause you asked nicely." Even being upset by it, and even given my anger from last night, and the feeling that I'm being utterly used, it took alot of effort to say no.
Perhapse it goes to show how offended I am simply for the fact that I said no.
I want to help my friends out in any way I can, physically, mentally, emotionally, or materially. I do not want to be used, and I expect some amount of appreciation for my services. That does not mean contributing $5 for gas, or buying me a sandwich, or bribing me with MtG cards. Those do not, to me, show appreciation.
I am also less than pleased by their habit of calling me 'Andy.' That's a name reserved for certain individuals, particularly family and those for whom I care dearly. Neither of which either of them are, least of all at this point. They haven't earned the 'privledge' if you will.

I do so enjoy the re-made icon, there, though.
But I must ask - "The Lord is my Sniper?"

I went down Sewannee Mountain just before the dawn
There I met a Methodist the name of Baptist John
Carving his Last Testament into the gates of stone
It said, "The Lord is my sniper, son - you leave me alone."
