The Winter of My Discontent

Total number of times people have assumed I'm gay since starting to write here: 8 and counting...

Name:
Location: Everett, Washington, United States

I am a dedicated futurist and a strong supporter of the transhumanist movement. For those who know what it means, I am usually described as a "Lawful Evil" with strong tendencies toward "Lawful Neutral." Any apparent tendencies toward the 'good' side of the spectrum can be explained by the phrase: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

Worth the build-up.

I don't laugh all that often. I'm not an especially funny person, and humor makes up a shockingly low part of my average day. Apart from an incident a day ago when a player in an online game I play asked a large group of people how to "mine" fish (as if they were a mineral or gemstone) out of the water, I haven't laughed in quite a while.

However, I happened across a cute little video yesterday and hit the floor. Somehow, it struck a chord, and there is definitely something familiar about the whole scenario that resonates with my experiences. Why is it that two people can connect so well and then suddenly take sharply different directions at the same juncture?
