quick survey question --

How do you define reading? What is reading to you?

(Working on my thesis. It's been raining for 10 hours. My head hurts. I want to go back to kindergarten and not have to worry about anything anymore.)

imagine something witty here

So, apparently today tigremere was talking about me and tigris_lilsis at work, describing the differences in people. (I’m assuming there was more to the beginning of the conversation, but that’s not the point of the story.) tigris_lilsis is the kind where if she doesn’t like you, tigremere said, you will know it almost immediately. She won’t bother hiding it. But me? According to my mother, I’m the kind where you will never know I don’t like you. But if you’ve done something to piss me off, even though I will never ever tell you, if I come across you on fire one day, I will not stop to help you. I’ll just walk away. I won’t set the fire, but I sure as hell won’t put it out.

If I don’t like you, my mom told someone today, chances are you’ll never know.

(Also: I asked Mom later. tigris_lilsis will stop to put the fire out, even if she doesn’t like you.)

I thought about it, after she said it. I’m pretty sure she’s right. *shrugs* Does that make me a bad person?
