Quote # 2

This quote kinda fits in with the last quote I put up. I like these quotes because not many people stop to think about what to say when they are nger and I can really hurt people. It is pretty obvious what it means.

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.

I don't remeber who said this.

So true. I'm rarely angry at other people, but if I ever DO get angry, I know from experience (too much experience--darn my inability to learn life lessons faster!!!) that whatever you say will probably make a lasting impression. And you can never unsay any of it. I have a freak's memory, where I can remember every detail of almost all the worst moments of my life, but only the other people's happiness from my best moments. So I also have perfect snapshots in my head that I can compare of people yelling at me versus same person laughing with me like nothing's ever been wrong between us.

don't underestimate the weirdness of seeing two sides of a person at once,

PS: Laurence James Peter said your quote.

PPS: I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
(Maxine Waters, in Brian Lanker, I Dream a World, 1989)

PPS: All anger is offensive except your own. (me, now)

I like that last quote. When I get angry it is apocalyptic but it is because of my red hair. It takes a while for me to get mad but when I do it is better to stay away for a while. But it takes a LONG time. I have a great memory for events that had a lasting effect which is usually me screwing up I can seeing it in perfect detail. So I have a high definition screen in my mind of me doing bad. Yeah me!

Yeah, messing up is always the worst. I just try not to remember (even though that's impossible) because, what are you gonna do? The past is over, and fixing it would only let you make the mistake later because you never learned from it. THAT is why no one's made a time machine.

still gonna ask for one for my bday,

'K. Be happy that (for a reason I'll never know) I'm trusting this person who says they're you (you're lucky I know who you mean by that) and I'll just say: Your welcome, and I'll watch for an amazing post inspired by moi.

I'm lazy too--I'd insist it's only a stage, but I have no proof,
