Mea Culpa

Table of Content

Sometimes you do something and you know it's wrong and you shouldn't do it as you're doing it. You know that doing it will make you look like an asshole, and that a lot of people will see you being an asshole, but you do it anyway. Why do we do this? I don't know—maybe to pay the universe back for giving us consciousness. I'm just glad that LiveJournal has a delete button. Of course, I wish your memory had one too.
