Which experiences count, then? You've written off just about everything I've said as some hormone driven instinct to fit a movie stereotype.

[cactusy]

Medical fact, but okay.

Just because you have a teenage brain doesn't mean awful things can't happen to you. And before you say anything, it doesn't mean you can't do big, consequential things - good or bad - either. It just means that when you do those things, you're gonna be really annoying about it.

[ichoosefight]

More than normal to you, because you've earned it.

I'm just telling you, that if you try to stop one of the other people on this island from doing something stupid by explaining to them that it's stupid, it's not gonna work. That isn't limited to teenagers. That's basic human nature. You dismiss someone, they dismiss you right back.

[cactusy]

If they're dedicated contrarians, maybe--

Seriously, you think I'd be having this circular-ass conversation if I had anything better to do right now?

[ichoosefight]

Yup.

You could be sleeping. But you're not.

Because you like me. You're just so bad with people that you've got it all twisted around.

[cactusy]

Wow. Even people at home didn't try that line.

[ichoosefight]

I'm close with some really emotionally stunted people.

You learn to cope.

[cactusy]

Not interested.

[ichoosefight]

Not your decision.

[cactusy]

It sure is. I've always worked well alone.

[ichoosefight]

Now there's a line that's been tried before. And it's almost never true. Do you really work alone? No help from anybody? Or is that why it took 7,000 tries to break the system?

[cactusy]

I know how to work with people. I'm actually pretty good at it.

[ichoosefight]

I find that even harder to believe.

[cactusy]

Believe it, sister. I was even a Marine once.

[ichoosefight]

That just means you didn't have to have conversations with the people you were working with.

[cactusy]

Come on, you think you're the only one who can contain multitudes or whatever?

[ichoosefight]

"Multitudes?" Really?

Either way, not really supporting the "I work alone" premise.

[cactusy]

It's a poetry quote; it means-- you know what, never mind.

Don't worry, I'll keep coordinating and sharing what I find. I'm just going to be finding it alone.

[ichoosefight]

I know what it means, I just can't believe you said it.

Well, be careful out there. And don't make me come confiscate your gun.

[cactusy]

You could not even if you tried.

[ichoosefight]

So don't make me try.
