Mmm hmm, that's me, the voracious reader, the massive fiction addict,  
the gamer, the day dreamer, the movie goer, the writer, afraid of  
imagination.

Mmm hmm.

See, this is part of what really gets me.  You don't actually  
*listen* at all.

You're clearly not qualified to comment on what either Eli -- no Eli  
fan am I, but nonetheless -- OR Stephen think.  You really just have  
no idea.  You're so desperate to get your shiny little thoughts out  
there that you can't shut up long enough to listen.  You are so  
hopelessly trapped in your solipsistic little fantasy world that you  
have no *real* connection with the people that you inflict yourself  
upon.

Anybody else here thought about how it is that Lion just happened to  
stumble across us here?  Anybody find it odd how "desperate" he seems  
to be to "communicate" with us, despite clear (almost universal)  
indications that, while he was welcome, his particular area of  
apparent fascination wasn't really of particular interest?

Interesting, huh.  In that "what the fuck did I just step in" sort of  
way.

Yup, see, told you so.  Here's the manic part of the loop.

Fuck.  We were better off when poor little old Lion cub was feeling  
all "threatened."
