How To Get a Girl

9 year old Alec Greven wrote a book on how to get, keep and get over, a girl.
It's amazing how so much changes and then so much doesn't.

I AM a nice person

Damnit, I am a nice person.

As a nice person, with high expectations for myself and others to also be kind and considerate of others, I'm always extremely let down when others do not ascribe to the same high level of caring and concern that I have.

Worse yet, that same "code" (not quite the same as Dexter's code, but sometimes I wish I could go that route)keeps me from stooping to the level of what some would consider "normal" behavior for someone who has been wronged.

In my world, during shower therapy - long, hot, showers where I daydream about all the coulda-shoulda-woulda's - I think about all the things I could have said, or should do. Many of these thoughts stick with me for days and I debate the wisdom of the course of action I consider. What would be the ultimate gain? Would I feel better for doing it? Would causing someone else discomfort really make me feel any different? Better? Worse? Do I really think that any action I take will truly be viewed in the manner it was intended? If my point was to educate/elucidate a point, would the dumb-ass be bright enough to even grasp the concept?

Ultimately, the answer is "Probably not."

Now, do I come to this conclusion because I'm just a weak-willed person who would rather deal with a situation than create one? Am I someone who will allow herself to be the victim instead of becoming the aggressor? Or am I just a nice person who believes that Karma will even everything up in the end anyway, so why put a deficit in my own account?
