"Oops..."

Okay, so Reign's actually been off for over an hour. Sue me, I've got a bad memory and I'm easily distracted.
Anyway, to socialize...
Mirchan - Hope you're feeling better. As for the job thing, probably better to just talk to you about that, (if you want to discuss it, that is). Though frankly, I'd ditch it. It doesn't sound like they believe in job security with the way they keep letting people go.
Kit - I became a bit of a intellectual snob when I found I was surrounded by people who are lazy and don't want to learn anything new. When it comes to "sticking out," I think anyone who finds themselves on the higher rung of the intelligence ladder goes through that. They try to hide that, yes, they (we) are smarter than others. And there are people still smarter than that. (Sometimes I think I'm above average, then other times I think I'm just average surrounded by way below average. I guess the difference is that when I realize I don't know, I try and learn.)
Well my words are just that, words. Life experiences will ultimately be different, as we are fundamentally different, but it can't hurt to say what I'm about to. Don't. Don't hide your brains. Don't hide your knowledge. This doesn't mean you have to go off parading it around for the entire planet. But neither do you have to hold yourself in check to appease others. Don't let their reactions, or the possibility of such, dictate how you live. Besides, the truly smart ones, and by that I mean those who realize they don't know as much, will learn from you. The others, let them stew.
Domino - Sorry I missed you, the cramps last night turned rather hellish. I came this close to grabbing a knife and ensuring I didn't reproduce. (mother-unit stopped me, said she didn't want to waste a perfectly good kitchen knife.)
Will - The person who can lie to themselves, and believe it, is no longer a liar, but just delusional.
As for the cards, I think it's a question of, are the cards telling you what to do, or are you telling the cards what to say? I believe it's the latter. Like I said, the cards are merely a focal point for the proverbial untapped energies with the human psyche. ::tosses out tea leaves::
Mina - Which spreads do you read, and what deck? I think I shot myself in the foot by getting the Elemental Tarot instead of a Rider-Waite deck for a beginner, but I'll still try and learn. Far as Ouija goes, my mother used one once and she said never again. Considering the woman's not easily spooked by spooks, I decided to listen to her on that one. Besides which, she said whatever it was didn't like her. I don't want it coming back for any of her 'descendants'.
Raine - Nice look on the BT archives. Though is that blue strip part of the background? It seems like it should be fixed, or maybe I'm just used to backgrounds staying put nowadays. Anyway, going to redo the frontpage of BT too?
Okay, if I missed anyone, feel free to throw a tantrum in the comments.
Sorry, spammers forced my hand. Comments reviewed before being published.

Thanks for the words; I appreciate it. It's not the being surrounded by idiots that I don't like (I mean, some people just can't be helped, and I'm not going to bother to lower myself for them), but being surrounded by people who're just as intelligent as I am who think I'm smarter. That just really bugs me, and it's been something I've been wanting to get off my chest for a while.
Thanks for caring. **hugs**

...It looks like it's moving?
Since there wasn't really any texture to the background, I didn't think there was any difference in fixed vs. non-fixed. I see your point, though, I think. I can change that.
I want to redo the front page, but first I want some feedback, because that background is a kicker if one doesn't like it.
I'm trying not to be as impatient as I usually am.
