Four hours ago I answered this. And then the board went all hinky and I lost my post. Heck I was even hoping for a double post, for chrissakes. Nice to know that some constants remain no matter how long you leave.
Anyway:

Hey I have a ponder.... how cynical is too cynical?? At what point do you think that it's less cynicism and more weariness and frustrated anger??
The way I see things, frustrated anger is the heart of cynicism. And of bad skepticism (as opposed to true skepticism which honest doubt). Weariness to the point of being jaded is still just cynicism.
Having said that, I trust no one. Everyone lies. VERY few people ever have your best interest at heart. Most will never rise above their own needs, and the ones that can do so by believing themselves to be generous, all the while doing it solely for their own satifaction, gratification, self-aggrandizement or out of guilt, to ease their conscience.
And I am just not enough of a cynic (a-cynical?) to believe that people mean no good all of the time. I believe there are truly noble motives out there.
And I believe a greater love is possible. And I believe it happens. I just doubt every instance I encounter.
Oh, and DTH, here's a thought:
Psssssssssssssssssssssssss.
Just hold it. (Wait till we're in the shower...)

A bit? *snerk*
I don't know if I can fathom "too cynical". I don't think I've ever experienced it. Most of the cynicism I personally project usually goes unnoticed.
As for helping people, I am a big fan of it, and you can ask MsB, I'll sacrifice my own happiness and well-being if it means I can help someone else.

Um. Thanks. I think.
Honestly, I was just happy to note CaliforniaKaylee was here; I didn't read this whole thread, as too much JQ tends to turn my stomach. Also, I figured if I stayed out of the conversation, fuckhead would have less reason to bring me into his blithering bullshit posts. ^__^

Aw she's just pissed because I commented on her last pic. I mean besides being pissed at my mere existence.

My favorite color is an incredibly deep and radiant blue, the kind of blue I've seen in runway lights, like....this:
(I am really really trying to keep the hotlinking to a minimum...)
As for animals and such, There is the obvious JonnyQuest, Gorillas, the Grim Reaper, the Thing aka Ben Grimm.

Hmmm. Cynicism as an external experience. I've always considered it a state of mind. (which some of us obviously have more talent concealing than others

Yes, but why, Jimi? I'm saying self-sacrifice can be a form of self-gratification...

Is it okay to pee in the shower? Only if it's not the last thing you do. Give some time for the soap and such to wash the ick away.
On each other? Gack. No.
Be in the bathroom while the other makes stinky? Why would you want to be?
Leave the seat up? No. Men will never understand until they regularly experience the "splash-down" in the middle of the night. It is not fun and is why we get so peeved about a seat that is left up. Be considerate is all we're asking.
Squeeze from the middle of the tube? Who cares?
Leave the cap off? Please put it back on.
Does the toilet paper roll pitch overhand or underhand? Overhand. But only because the toilet paper holder is so damn close to the toilet, it's almost impossible to contort yourself to using it when it's underhand.
Is 20 guys too many to have over for the football game? Not if I'm not there. You want that many people over? Fine. But I'm not waiting around to serve them. I'll be off doing my thing while you do your's.
Can I stay and watch from the peephole when your friends come over for a lingerie party? What is this thing called a lingerie party?
Is having a peephole okay? On the front door, yes. Anywhere else, pretty much no.
Can I try some on after they leave? Only if I never find out.
I have no problems with thong liners. Never felt the need to use them, even though thongs are my preferred choice of undies, but I'm sure some people find them useful.
Cynicism: There is such thing as too much. When it makes you bitter and angry. My signature is pretty much sums up my feelings on cynicism. A whole lot of people mistake reason and logic for cynicism.

My world is... meh... a bit more stable, I guess. You know, no fires to drive me out of house and home or anything. XD
Started tinkering with metals and things to help occupy my time.
Here are some of the things yielded from my tinkering, if you're bored and have nothing better to do:

Whoops. Sorry for rambling. Aside from that, work still sucks donkey cock, but my Jeep is still running. So I guess it evens out.
Maybe.
Like, after I win the lottery.
Back tracking, I read that you've been feeling better (Yay! \o/) and have a new contract job.
Everything going all right? Happy? Shiny? Ever going to reveal what super secret ninja awesome job you actually do?
It's so nice to see you again! Yeah, I said that already, but it's still true. ^__^

Go fuck yourself, you obnoxious cunt.
You know, every time you manage to come back to this place through your drugged addled brain fog - or are you off your meds again? - I am absolutely amazed that your wife hasn't killed you in your sleep. ^__^
(Sorry to bother the thread with my honesty, but JQ loves it when I'm honest..)
