~~From Mordor to the Death Star~~

Yeah, okay, I don't want to sound ungrateful because I really, really appreciate being resurrected ~~and I bet that's not going to bite me in the ass later~~, but I'm so not cut out for all of this. I'm the first one to admit I'm a total coward. Ask anyone! Sure, I did the self-sacrificial thing once but that was a total fluke — I'm the Gríma Wormtongue here, not the Legolas or Gimli. Thranduil turning his back on the dwarves when Smaug sundered Erebor? Me. All me. Actually, I wouldn't even be there — at least that guy showed up to see what was going on.

[...]

What I'm trying to say is: Somebody made a huge mistake bringing me here, and I'm totally going to mess this up. Do not pass go, do not roll for initiative, do not depend on me.

Thanks for yesterday. And sorry for getting snot on your fancy handkerchief. Jane Austen always made it sound nice, not [...] you know.

	[...] Does this happen to you a lot? People selling you out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Just thinking of things like Star Wars where it happens and it's not cool to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean the dude who sells everybody out to Darth Vader? I thought he got redeemed. Not that it was cool or anything initially, but, you know. Complicated storylines and morally gray characters — when done well — can be compelling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Well, I said like,~~ When done well, yea. And even when they are, not everyone cares or accepts it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ain't that the truth. Not planning to go down the same road, for what it's worth. I wouldn't even want anything from the dark side. Seems like a bad time all around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's good to know. I don't know if the Dark Side would be worth it but a lightsaber would be cool.

And if you ever needed or wanted to learn self-defense so you can keep yourself safe if things get weird here -- which they tell me it does get weird, so I guess it's really possible it could get weird even if you're not looking for it -- I think there are people who could help with that. Not sure who, but there's enough people that someone's got to be willing to teach anyone wanting to learn.

	I'm more of a danger to myself and others with a weapon, but I'll keep it in mind. Maybe some hand-eye coordination 101 training will undo all the damage from years of PE. Thanks, man. I appreciate the thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All the more reason to eventually look into it. Even if all it is is getting better with balance and hand-eye coordination and stuff. Welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent)
