Unless, of Course

I quote people quite a bit in here, I think. Not in the usual internet journalling music lyrics kind of quote or even cited quotes. More of the thing where I'll randomly rip off something someone said to me or wrote in his or her own journal. After I quote, normal format for me is to just draw a little line under it, rant, draw another line, and conclude the thoughts of the day.

Very often this appears negative, and very very often I will get on a spree of quoting the same speakers (or at least get accused of quoting the same speakers) all too much.

What really makes my point is that I know who the first person that's going to come to mind when I say this for most of you probably is. Fair enough, I guess. Most of those tend to be more escalated rants full of stereotyping and bitching. As opposed to, say, the kind of fun-spirited ranting I'll do when quoting Vin, or the philosophical or political ranting when I quote Jes.

So to you whom I quote and have quoted in what seems to be a negative light: don't take it as a personal slander or degrading thing in any way. I'm only using situations or words as a springboard to get the thought-train in motion. Wendy quoted me quite a bit a while back, if I recall correctly, and it served both of us well to evolve our own emotions and thoughts.

So, though it doesn't always turn out for the best, I promise, mounty-scouts' honour, that it's intended for the best.

Unless I'm really pissed off.
