Argue with me!

Do you like my title graphic? I didn’t design it. Someone with a far better design sense than I said ‘get out of that chair and let me do it.’ He did. I love it. If he hadn’t told me that where I was going with it sucked, it might’ve turned out like something that I liked, but not something I was as necessarily as pleased with as I am this graphic. And that’s what I love about this guy – he’ll call me out on anything that I say or do that he doesn’t agree with. It’s something that’s missing in most of my friends. I want people to disagree with me. I want them to poke holes through my arguments. I want them to tell me I’m an asshole – and then explain to me how I can remedy this. I don’t want someone just poking me with the asshole line and then running away; that’s cowardly. But I like for people to make me turn around and look at what I’m saying from another angle.

There are about a thousand different ways to get in touch with me. If you want my phone number, it's in the Greater Richmond phone book and the Collegiate directory from 1990 - 2003. My dorm extension is listed in the Trinity College directory. If you don't have access to any of those books, don't call me, you psycho.

I keep lots of emails and a handful of AIM screen names. If you want the most attention, emails can be sent here, which reroutes it to my aol address. Although I've been getting enough spam that I may change that; make your subect line something about badgers and I'll be more likely to take notice of it.

If you really want me to pay attention, you can email me at school, but don't do it too often, because if I start getting spam there, I'll have to kill someone.

I'm IM-able most of the time as WatyrDragn. Add me to your buddy list, and if I'm away, my message will either give you an insightful comment or tell you what I'm doing and when I'll be back. I pride myself on my away messages because, well, I have to take pride in something.

And by the way, if you've been to my Teen Open Diary or LiveJournal and have comments on things I've said there, you can leave your messages in the form of notes or comments, which are instant gratification for myself. I need that kind of positive reinforcement. All I ask is that you sign your name. Some oddball going by 'No Right on Red' has decided to tease me by leaving nice notes and not letting me know who s/he is. That's just obnoxious.

On another note (E sharp), I feel that this would be a good place to take care of a few other housekeeping issues that I've ignored until this point. My parents pay for this site, which is rad. MCWS hosts this site, which is also very cool, and both the funding and the play room are much appreciated. Chris Bostock told me my design intuitions sucked, designed the title graphic for me, and offered occasional advice on how to make the rest of it 'better'. Everyone whose name appears on these pages has, in some way, affected my life. Whether their effect was positive or negative is your call; for some of my acquaintances, even I don't know if they've made my life better or worse. They have all, however, made it more interesting. So thank you to all of them, and to everyone that's checked out a broken link, read a page for errors, of just told me that they like (or hated) what they saw. I haven't spent seven years tweaking and updating and swearing at this website just for my own amusement...I do it so that you, the reader, can enjoy the pages that I've spent so many years on, perhaps learn something about me or about yourself, and then tell me how wonderful I am.

 

if you don't want to talk about it, than it isn't love.
