Beatings, lol.

toonhead_npl points out that my previous post got pull-quoted by Universal Hub, a Boston news-n-links blog that I didn't know about before. I'm giddy about the attention but a little disturbed, too.

Of course they quoted the most striking part, which I'm afraid makes it sound like I was being flippant, when in fact I was exposing something very dark and personally disturbing. I really do have these thoughts when I see someone explode in anger at someone they don't know, just because they got in the way of the 35MPH pelvic thrust of their driving. When writing that post I debated for some time about describing the fantasy in disgusting detail, purposefully going over the top to make it clear that I wasn't kidding. But I finally concluded that it failed the Wheaties test and so kept it simple.

I am not at all comfortable with this part of myself. All I can do is acknowledge it, and I suppose be thankful that it doesn't manifest in more situations.

My new best friend is screen -D -R. Why did it take me six years of laptop use to discover it?
