"How nice - to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive."

~Vonnegut; Slaughterhouse-Five

So there is a bookstore. I love books, I especially love the self-help books in this particular place. Though I must say, my imagination has always served me up with the -- ah, shall we say, finest forms of assistance?

Mm.

I found a copy of Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle which I'm keeping, and Slaughterhouse-Five which I'm reading. I also found a few volumes of Iron Man comic books, which I've taken all the copies of and hidden.

	Well, it's up to you. I have other reading to do anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony it's your life and I have no right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That wouldn't be enough to stop most people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	When have I ever been most people? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a fair point. I guess we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place if I backed up my hard drive more often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd think that I of all people would know better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you shouldn't think about it too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If you think I have much choice in the matter, you give me way too much credit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I -- Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I wish I could give you a piece of what I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystark 2013-06-18 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes, I do, too. I wonder how much more I'd get done if I didn't have to worry about things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hedonism 2013-06-18 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	It's difficult to say, because I think some of the weight that you carry does motivate you, and without it -- I mean, look at me. I don't exactly have much, do I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystark 2013-06-18 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	I think you have more than you think you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hedonism 2013-06-18 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	You think too much of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystark 2013-06-18 05:08 pm UTC (link)
	There are a lot of things that I think of too much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hedonism 2013-06-18 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	... Well good then, I won't worry about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystark 2013-06-18 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	But in this instance, I still think you're wrong about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're setting yourself up for disappointment and me up for failure. Let's go for a walk tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tonystark 2013-06-18 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	You know how unrelenting optimists are. We'd rather have faith and be disappointed a thousand times than give up on someone when we know they have a shot. Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent)
