I'm a walking contradiction, and I ain't got no right

[kingandy]

Hmm, I think that I'm not as liberal as I would like to be - I told the quiz that an action can't be morally wrong if it's done in secret and nobody gets hurt, but then I decided that some of the examples (done in secret, when nobody got hurt) were wrong.  Possibly the confusion comes from the key phrases "morally wrong" and "gets hurt".  Remarkably, the quiz actually noticed this, and commented on it.  If only more quizzes did this, and kept track of "contradictory" answers instead of just adding scores ... you'd get much more accurate "D&D Alignment" type quizes then, if nothing else.

While we're on the subject of "morally wrong" - told bacony that I wasn't actually fantastically eager to move out with her¹.  It didn't make a whole lot of sense financially or logistically, but I still felt like a total heel.  (Do "The Kids" still say that?)  Hopefully she can find somebody to share with, because she can't afford to rent by herself and would have to move darn sarf.  I don't want to lose her completely.

Her mum will be upset, she's already planning the wedding...

Katy has also implied that having found a place to rent (and a housemate to rent with) she would be less eager to move into whatever house I buy.  Which makes sense, it would be surplus movage and would rather leave whatever housemate she's found in the lurch.  Anyway, I seem to recall that she was not necessarily planning stay in the house for very long, only until she'd found a place of her own.  Or something.  Well the point is, depending on how things turn out, I may be on the market for a lodger of my own.  Several nicely-turned-out young gentlemen come to mind, some of whom have even expressed an interest in Manchester housing.  Will keep you posted.

¹ Funny, usually the concern is over moving in with somebody.

I am a very happy creature-in-the-attic, thanks. Short of icklejo and arwel deciding to evict me, I suspect that I'll move out when I finally get round to buying a house.

Ah, shame. The loss is entirely mine, I'm sure...

Not at all! You have a marvellous comic collection, that I would be delighted to share a house with ;-)

I wouldn't say marvellous ... maybe extensive.

I must push some of it your way at some point - everybody should read "Quantum and Woody". You might enjoy "Major Bummer" too ... and while "Young Heroes In Love" probably isn't quite your thing, I like it for its meandering conversational dialogue. To me, it's a realistic portrayal of what it would be like to actually be a ground-level superhero in the DC universe. Quite tightly plotted, too, though they had to keep bending over backwards to match the crossover requirements and such. But anyway. Not to everyone's taste, but I like it, so. :)

Cuh, you're just like all the others - only after one thing!
