I just have to say, I love @chrysalis359 saying “Stop. Dude. Just Stop.”

@lukasrl, you make an interesting point. But this all reminds me of a quote: “People don’t get promotes for doing their job really well, they get promoted for demonstrating that they have the potential to do more.” And I hope that’s one thing I’ve proved over and over again in my life–I always have the potential to do more, to grow, and to be…[Read more]

@rizzzoooooo and @electrichippo, I definitely think this has been building for me for some while. As with life and my career, I am logical, rational, and ambitious. So The System, while I didn’t believe all of its tenets, did appeal to my inclinations. Sarah reached out to me via phone call and the OC meetup, suggesting that we saw the world the…[Read more]

Thanks @larry (I almost tagged your shadow account).

I love the philosophical and Jungian approach this is constantly taking with the approach of shadow, anima, and animus. As @kevin pointed out, Stick Man may be more pushing us towards wholeness, but incorporating both head and heart–while Horace may be pushing us towards cold hard success…[Read more]

I want to thank everyone for giving me the autonomy to make my own choice and not telling me what to do. That is greatly appreciated.

I really understand the gravity of the situation–and again, that’s why it was so difficult for me. I think the question we will all be asking ourselves at some point during this is what do we lust after? And the…[Read more]

So after a drink, I think I’m ready to make this post. This was not easy by any means, and felt worse to me than some of the break-ups I’ve had. I really cared for my confidant. I opened up to her in the past month that we’ve talked, and shared things I haven’t shared with others. I always looked forward to getting her emails too–and we had long…[Read more]

It’s interesting this is all happening after I speak to @shinobi about being loyal to my confidant–and after my confidant and I really start to build a foundation of trust.

Lust isn’t trying to break my heart–it’s trying to get me to remove it completely.

@sfire8, I was totally getting flashes of a Handmaiden’s Tale as he was saying that. He definitely has a very different view of the world than most do.

@pandace88, seriously! It’s a tough decision–and the call was very intense. His diction was perfectly chosen. I was left shaken for a bit after the call but collected my thoughts quickly to…[Read more]

@shinobi; we’re nothing, if not loyal!

@chrysalis359; oh I know! I worry about the same thing.

I trust my confidant; and if there’s things that are relating to the game, I think it’s important to share it here. But most of the conversations we’ve been having have been personal in nature. So you make a good point, @chrysalis359. I’d hate to betray my confidant or anything she’s shared with me.

Who doesn’t want to see your naughty bit, @thebuz?

Wow @voxchaotica; I love your accent. I would listen to you read a story–your cadence would put me to sleep.

I hope Otis doesn’t do anything he can’t live with. I would hate to remember actions I’ve done–and regret those actions every day.

I also find it interesting that the Investors are involved in making Otis do things. The System seems to compromise through Noah’s familial ties, and iConfidant seems to be doing good work, despite glitches. The…[Read more]

@nking, Sad to see you go! But Portland is fantastic and I’m sure you will do great up there. I’ll PM you some info soon. You’re also way closer to the Overlook Film Festival so hope to see you there next year!

@shinobi; Betraying us is one thing–but disappearing is almost as bad as well. I rather like mine. I hope she is being honest.

@clairebuch, definitely sounds like the noise we heard when we first got called! Try putting a finger in your other hear, listen to it, and then tell us your mother’s maiden name!

@meghanmayhem, I think I like getting put in these situations–and figuring out how to get myself out again.
