    I am fine. Medics cleared me. My car is totaled. Going to check it out in a bit, get all the stuff out of it.

    First: Good username.
    Current: Got some fire in her belly. That kind of drive will take her far (or further than most).

    2. Chaotic Good > Chaotic Neutral > True Neutral. Chaotic Good all the time now.

    3. Emotionally: I grew up insecure. I cared a lot what other people thought, and when I found someone I liked, I latched onto them and ignored everyone else. Kind of a codependency, mimicking whoever I wanted to be. During my teenage years, I suffered some emotional losses; one of those people abandoned me without a trace. I gained a core trait to seek independence in both mind and body. (See "intellectually" below.)

    To recover my losses I trained the ability to think about and accept the loss of anything before it happened, so that nothing could hurt me. I became like a sociopath without remorse because I had no investment in anything; everything was a game to me, and I scoffed at anyone who cared. Eventually I developed attachments to things that were valuable to me in spite of myself; people and relationships that fulfilled me; and I changed from sociopathic to self-controlling, using the same methods to cut off unwanted emotions. Years of this process made it second nature, and now I can shut off almost any stream of emotions on a dime despite surprises that happen.

    Intellectually: One of my core drives as a person is to be independent, detached, and accurate in thought and action. Where others are happy to read others, I am not happy until I can read myself; to rise out of myself, analyze what I am doing, why I am doing what I am doing, what outcomes I can expect based on how I read others, and decide whether it is something I should be doing, or something that hurts my overall goals. It is impossible to be angry while doing this analysis because anger and presence of mind are so disconnected that the minute you are able to see yourself from the outside, your anger is gone and replaced by calm decision making. Whenever someone predicts me, plays me by my emotions, or otherwise outsmarts me, I internalize their observations, knowing myself better. The better I know myself, the more present I can be. The next time those emotions are exploited, I can analyze them and cancel them. Each experience adds to the last, and as my intellectual model of myself becomes more complete, so does my control over individual functions. Awareness is power: over yourself, and if you have it but others do not, then over them too.

    4. Tom Ripley (The Talented Mr. Ripley, film version). After reading what I just said, you will understand. Watch the movie.

    4. Get a new car + see Saxima.

    5. NCIS. It bores me to death.

    2. Toast and butter.
    3. No.

    First: I always thought the name "tummer" was annoying. He has some of the lowest quality names, avatars, and signatures on the site.

    2. Westworld. I was blown away.
    3. My executioner.

    First: Smart guy. Part of my most memorable introduction to the site. Would like to talk to talk some more.

    Someone was making fun of me for not having a girlfriend, so I told her, "Your parents must have done a bad job raising you to be so codependent." Turned out her dad had died earlier that week.

    1. Got a life, and most of KHV followed suit.
