Über-Monkey+ 52667 points | Me and reverse psychology. Today @ 03:13:06 am | I'm annoyed and somewhat intrigued by how consistently and effectively reverse psychology works on me. If you tell me I'm not allowed to do something...even if it's something I didn't even *want* to do in the first place, a part of me starts to want to do it, just to spite the person. And if you tell me I *have* to do something...something I take interest in on my own, a part of me starts wanting to avoid doing it.
It annoys me that I am this affected. I understand the motive in a sense, it's a little bit of a rebellious streak, I do not like being told what to do, and it's the main reason I make a terrible employee. But nonetheless it annoys me because another person could so simply and easily control my desires. It's a bit ironic in a sense, because it's a rebellion that triggers it, a rebellion because of wanting to be the one to make my own decisions, that makes me susceptible to another person being able to control what I do and do not want. Fortunately, no one uses this against me currently. Not that I'm aware of anyway, lol.2 comments | Reply |

Über-Monkey+ 52667 points | Yesterday, a jackhammer and my livingroom floor met. November 19, 2009 @ 08:54:04 pm | There is something incongruous about there being a giant muddy hole inside of one's home.
As it turned out, there was a leak underneath our apartment, and the only way to fix it was to get to it straight down through the floor. The pipe was bent. So now they've fixed the pipe, and filled the giant hole back in with cement. There is mud and cement powder and rubble littering our house, lol.
Fortunately the apartment managers let us stay the night in the empty apartment directly across from ours, so that was nice. It's kind of weird seeing an apartment that's identical in every way to your own, except reversed.6 comments | Reply |
