i never asked him for anything or deluded myself or gave in to brownie freakness, and that's what really annoys him, so he has to tell tales and surround himself with people who do succumb to his elusive dangling carrot. Because that's the lifeblood that keeps him alive in that world, and i was too cool for it. Maybe not as cool as you, but cool...nevertheless.

my only crime is that im an "enthusiast" and a free spirit...and that's regarded as suspicious too, because it's beyond his control.
