a funny thing about advice...

... is that
a. yes yes everyone is basically talkin abt THEMSELVES and stuff that (just) happened to them
b. this is GENUINELY USEFUL INFORMATION even when not actually DIRECTLY PERTINENT (bcz it's good to rule things out also)
c. i am an alien human = i want to be loved
d. i am human = the catastrophes and humiliations of others make me feel less rubbish
e. esp. those of the "blimey at least THAT's not what just happened!" variety

ps i am in a good mood currently but keep the stories coming!
