What Did You Say!

1. Have you ever been in a physical confrontation? Care to elaborate?

Yeah. Not that many. The end result of all of them is me walking away guilt-ridden, spazzed out on adrenaline with the usual chaser of ennui, and certainty that I handled the whole situation wrong.

I've never hauled off and seriously punched anyone, but I have smacked a couple of people over the years. It's not something I'm particularly proud of.

I'd rather verbally destroy someone, frankly, though that leaves me with the same after-effects.

2. The last physical confrontation I witnessed was...?

...a very long time ago.

I can't even remember, though it might have been one I was involved in about 6 or 7 years ago.

3. Yes or No. Is there someone whom you would secretly like to tell off?

Yes. Of course.

4. What is the longest time you have ever held a grudge?

Well, I'm still annoyed at some of the shit my first boss pulled in the late 80s/early 90s.

And I'm still waiting--7 years and counting--for my brother to apologize for being a jerk in a specific situation. I'll die waiting for that.

5. Do you more often than not find yourself being taken advantage of?

Yep. "Can't-Say-No-Syndrome." My own fault, really.
