Hey, you should write a paper called "Portrait of a young female punk..." No really, I'm kidding. No, that essay is damn interesting in learning how to hone a radar to uncover bullshit artists-- or someone's philosophy should you decide to enter a relationship with someone--romantic, friendship, business--and not just within the scope of your parent's political views. You want to know this person well, and what they say can give them away as to what there values are. It's good to know where people are 'coming from.' There is a wider application to your life here. It's a really interesting chapter in Philosophy: Who needs it. By the way, Angie practiced it on me when first getting to know me. She would ask key questions that might have me answering in a certain way that would give her a clue as to what type of man I am. She is one smart lady. I passed the test! Every paper I write has "female punk" written all over it, Victor. Hah. I have Philosophy: Who Needs It, so I'll have to check that one out. I do try and pick up on things people say and it definitely does tell you something about a person. I also try to think carefully about what I am saying, because I sometimes don't think before I speak (or I say things to semi-strangers that they would only understand if they really knew me) and I think that gives people a false impression of me. I sure would like to know what Angie's questions were, I need them! I'm glad you passed the test. You and Angie are a cute couple. *sighs* I suppose it's bedtime again. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. *snores*
