=> I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia. => I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault. => I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed. => I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me. => Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so." => False hope is nicer than no hope at all. => A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem. => Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute . . . I'll find someone. => To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
