I would want to be Exocet.

If I'm not up to emulating the past, I'd be one of the many futuristic fonts out there; possibly the one used on the LCARS displays of Star Trek fame.

Retroactive Cruelty Log I: Treated Differently for Same Action (Personal Entry)

Foreword:

I think in order to relieve some unresolved steam, I must write about memorable cruelties done to me by anyone (using aliases). Many people write the same things for the same reasons too, I'm sure. This is the first installment of the "Cruelty Logs."

Setting & the "cruelty" she hath done unto me

Date: Spring 2007 (March or April?)
Location: Bluemont 111 (EDLST 350 - Cultural & Contextual Leadership)

Even though they can't read this entry, I'll play it safe and use aliases. Who knows if someone who happens to know them will forward them a copy/paste of this entry.

A visitor lectured about his time in India (Studying abroad? Business trip? I'm unsure now.) At some point, I laid my head down because I couldn't keep awake.

"Morihan Wault," the girl to the right of me (a sorority girl, about a senior now, I believe,) tapped my desk (somewhat hard) and said "You're not being respectful." I couldn't believe my ears; since when did she start being so straightforward? I asked, "What was that?" She repeated it exactly.

Spotted a classmate doing the same, & "Morihan's" reaction to him

Then about 5-10 minutes later, I noticed that a guy right behind "Morihan," "Laurent Faud-Eau'laire," had his head down too! I looked back intently at him, waiting for "Morihan" to react to him, preferrably in the same way that she reacted to me. (Because if she did, then I'd have peace-of-mind knowing that's how she is to everybody.)

As soon as she took notice of my looking back at him, I glanced at her for a half-second then continued looking back at "Laurent." Then she flicked at "Laurent's" head, said in a tone of friendly reproof, "(Laurent)!" and grinned at him as soon as he lifted his head.

Reflections and Hypotheses

There was no outward strife between each other throughout the semester, and just then I noticed something was pretty wrong. It looks like "Morihan" acted natural around me throughout the semester, but had some vile feelings toward me on the inside. What was it from? Did I say something to deeply offend? (Why not tell me how it felt right then?)

Maybe I gave off a wrong "vibe." Apparently "being myself" was a social crime to her. I don't think I'll ever know for sure now. She has since wandered off to parts unknown somewhere at K-State.

What if I asked this question, and Conclusion

I wonder how she would've responded if I went up to her right after the end of class and asked, "So why'd you treat "Laurent" differently about the same thing I did?" What do you think her response would've been? Whatever the hypotheses are, are just that.

Now that I got one thing off my chest and am now in a somewhat better mood because of it, I am ready to move on to the next Cruelty Log, at an indeterminate point in the future.

In some video games, you SEE "relationship points" get added... (Personal Entry)

"Nice shirt. I voted for him too!" (+12 points are added to your Relationship Score.)

This occurred to me just about now, and I thought I'd record my thoughts to history before it left my mind again. This note should be briefer than my usual ones.

You know how on some video games, if you say something the other video game character wants to hear, you see plus-points appear right above their head. (It could say "+3," "+15," or "+30" depending on how much s/he liked what you said. The heading gives an example.) Also, what you do in front of the said character will also determine how many "relationship points" get added or taken from you with the said character. The current total relationship points tell you exactly where you stand with that person.

(0, in perspective, would be neutral; you haven't met yet. If you walk by someone you don't know, and upon noticing you for the first time, minus-points appear above their head, which likely means you look ugly to the person, your ethnicity isn't one their favorites, you're wearing bad fashion, or anything visual about you or that you have on you is off-putting. If you make a good first impression upon introducing yourselves, you get a number of plus points.)

A huge reason why I want relationship points to appear above anyone I see

I want to see that in real life. In many cases, a relationship can end without warning. When everything seems fine with each other one day; the next, that person can email you saying they're breaking off whatever the relationship was with you. Often there just isn't a way to discern whether you just "added" or "took off" relationship points with that person. They can hide feelings about your words and actions very well. Until it's too late, that is.

We can see realtime "relationship points" in real life, coming Fall 2020

If only we could have a HUD on our contact lens/glasses that would show EXACTLY that. We would know whether what we just said hurt or helped our relationship IMMEDIATELY. Life would be far easier. This may come by the time the millennium children hit college.

(If only I was born in the nice, round year of 2000; besides the gas (or hydrogen, biodiesel?) prices by the time I drive in 2015/2016 & the tuition expense by the time I enter college in 2018, I would have life a lot easier than a half-generation earlier. Everyone will (hopefully) wear contact lenses with HUDs by then, and have healthier social lives with it.)

This should be all I have to say about it. For now. I ought set a limit to only 1,000 words per Note.
