That's because I have nothing to prove to anybody. I've been there, done that, grown up, it sucks, accomplished a great deal, and feel better now than ever before. I think you need to go cry to your mommy to change your diapers. You're getting grumpy.

I feel loyalty towards two groups. Blood-relatives, and those I've made promises to. Promises are rare for me because I only make those when I've fully considered the ramifications. They can be taken back, but I will always say so when I do. Any other kind of loyalty seems unfair to me, or just not interesting enough. I have enough trouble picking out what clothes to wear without having to fit some football club's colours into...
