WHO EXACTLY thought that HONESTY was a GOOD IDEA?! Can I find them? Throttle them? Shake them a few times until their explanation tumbles from them and I can STOMP IT INTO THE GROUND WITH MY FOOT?

GAAAAH.

*sticks tongue out*

I should just fly up and not come down until tomorrow. Leave a note so no one comes after.

[intraspective]

*sticks tongue out right back at him*

But wouldn't Amber, like, miss you?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...damn, she would.

Though it's not as if I'm not already spilling out heart and soul like so much undigested cheese.

[intraspective]

That's really gross, Liir. Couldn't you have found a less gross way to put that? Seriously.

Besides, honesty is good for you.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Honesty is BAD for me. Baaaaad for me.

[intraspective]

No, you just don't like it. It's GOOD for you.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Evil. Bad. Hiss. Booooo.

[intraspective]

*pulls out a notebook*

Alright then, why is it 'evil, bad, hiss, booooo'?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Because it means I have to admit to all the things I think but would never say and I'm not a terribly good person.

[intraspective]

Most people aren't, duh. But if you're lying all that much you might want to consider quitting it a bit in ordinary life 'cause it's not fair to keep lying to people.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

It's not lying if you just don't say it.

[intraspective]

Lies of omission. Surely you've heard of them?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Yes. But it's easier to--

GAH, it's infecting me HERE TOO. *HAAATES*

[intraspective]

Come on, you've got to continue that sentence:

'But it's easier to--'

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

It's easier to pretend it's all right then!

...

It's not as if everything I say is a lie or a lie of omission. Just... some important things. It's like grease! You don't need much, but it makes things go more smoothly when you use it a little!

[intraspective]

Until there's so much grease that you wind up crashing and going up in flames?

Because that totally sounds easier, don't you know.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Yes. And probably pretty from a distance. And warm! Fire is warm! DO NOT DENY MY LOGIC.

[intraspective]

...

There is no logic there, Liir. Watching your relationships crash and burn is not pretty, or warm.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Well, no.

Avoidance is another one of those things I prefer.

[intraspective]

Avoidance doesn't fix things, you know that, right?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Yes, but it gives me time to think of what to do. I'm not particularly good with surprises.

[intraspective]

And avoiding it makes it easier? I don't get that at all.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

It gives me time to think of what should be done. And then, when I'm ready, I stop avoiding it.

[intraspective]

And what if, in avoiding it, you only make it worse? Some people don't like being left alone.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Then that's unfortunate. It's a gamble either way. Stay and possibly ruin things. Go and think and try and fix things later and possibly ruin things by waiting. Different people prefer different things. Unfortunate but true.
