What's this guy's story?

[warlord]

In response to Corithian's question on what I write about its mostly a twisted hybrid of Stephen King and Buffy. Although it supposed to be a collection of short stories I've been told it reads more like a tv script or comic book. Also a quick question for all you happily maried men out there: what line did you use to get your wife to notice you?

Frukathka, I had no idea you had so many interests. Why do you feel that psychology is the best way to serve humanity, instead of something like politics, research medicine, or building houses? Not trying to judge at all -- I think the best way I can be a good person is to write entertaining (and slightly inspirational) stories, because that's where my talents lie -- but I'm curious how one comes to decide what he'll devote his life to.

I'm not trying to speak for Frukathka, but I think psychology is an excellent way to serve humanity. A psychologist tries to help a person know themselves better. If one knows oneself better, then they can be at peace with themselves, which effects every one around them in a positive way.

We got the same thing and we were 22 and 21. Keep not listening and just love each other and have patience for the rough times.

I was 21 and my wife was 19 when we got married. No one told us we were too young but, looking back, we probably were. My brother-in-law got married when he was 19 and his wife was 21. We thought they were too young and it turned out to be true as ended up cheating on him and they got a divorce. I blame the cheating on the lack of life experience and wanting to "try something new." Everyone is different and I know it works for some, but not for most.

Well...I'm married... that's about it... (see my post)

I was actually dating someone she knew. I met both of them the same day, and called her to find out how to get in touch with the other girl. We dated about 4 months before my now wife and I started going out. I don't recall there being any lines...we just bitched a lot about the other girl to each other..... lol

True geek moment follows...

I actually met my wife 5 years before we started dating...and didn't see her again for those 5 years. When we met up again, at an Independence Day party, there was much flirting going back and forth both ways...but the one thing I did which she still remembers was me standing on the other side of a box fan from her, and saying "Exterminate....exterminate..." through the fan (the distortion from the fan making it sound vaguely Dalek-esque.)

Is that sarcasm I smell?

Call it an epiphany. Since I have a natural knack (my talent) at being able to tell how a person feels, whether their feeling are directed at me or not, I figured that psychology would help me develop that ability further and also because I want to help people. Sure, I could help in other ways,like the ones you mention. For starters I really don't like politics and do not have an interest in it. As for medicine, I could do it, and its not like I won't have any help - my mother used to be a nurse. As for physical labor - its just not something I'd like to d, I'd rather expand my mind.

I recently found out that someone I've known online for awhile had a crush on me when we first "met". We've never met face to face and likely never will...but it was a nice ego boost.

Dammit! You said you'd never tell!

Crap..I'm sorry... :\
