Personal Interlude III

Well, I woke up pretty early today and that is typical of me, and I wrote for you guys. If it's not of any interest, ignore it, if it's of any interest, read it. Feel free to comment too, I don't bite. If you're rude, I can delete your comment. No big issue. I won't write paragraphs about how you're wicked and idolatrous, although I may comment on comments that have some effect on me.

I also met a very nice young lady of the same age as me on the Internet. Her name is Tegan. We've been talking quite a bit. She lives in Southern California near San Jose, and we're just chatting right now. It's more serious than you think, but we're pretty distant from each other and we're both poor, so it may just be like this for quite a while.

Her Grandmother was Haitian, and most of the rest of her family is Latino. She's very good looking, I've seen her picture, with dark wavy hair and dark eyes. She has ADD and she's considered mentally disabled like I am, and we have a lot of free time to talk consequently, and it's going better than any relationship I've ever been in, barring the fact that we've never met in person.

She's Christian and New Age, decidely not intellectual, very stable and reserved, and we are a good complement to each other, because I am intellectual, reticent but highly active and chaotic. We've done our astrology charts together and stuff and just generally talked about things that you talk about with people: family, politics, a little sex (no cybering though), our ways of viewing the world and all of that fun stuff that I don't get to do with people my age too often.

I'm very happy to have met her, and I wanted to tell everyone.

And I know it seems strange that I poke holes in my own arguments, but that to me is ethical. When you argue with someone, you have to be honest. I can't claim that my experience dominates yours, or even scientific proof. I think it does, but there is no way to back that up. So I'm happy to tell you where my limits are because to me it's the way you talk to people. I'm not telling you what to do, I'm telling you what I know. Half of the truth can be just as bad as a lie.

So, I'll be up a while longer. I'm talking to Tegan and we're both talking about going to bed. Over there it's 4 am and I think she should go to sleep, but people with ADD never sleep unless you give them sodium pentathol so I guess it's fun to talk until she finally gets in bed.

Well, I'll be back.
