Sure, I knew you've obviously had no causative role in any of her bullshit and that your only offense was being close to me. And I've obviously known how you've felt about being a target of it. But being reminded of just how long this has continued, and all because she is a greedy and mendacious turd...<br /><br />I have a minor semantic disagreement, though. Kim's shots at you don't represent collateral damage except in the strictest sense that she wouldn't know you existed were it not for me. She has systematically taken direct swipes at you, Colleen, both your and Colleen's moms, Brad, all sorts of people in Worcester (believe it or not, the ugly stories have continued piling up since I got here), the entire Boulder community, and various others all because you deign to be my friends. As you know, she has managed to alienate the few people she has contacted whom I coached in the past. That's not collateral damage, it's just an expansion of the scope of her hostilities.<br /><br />Some tiny part of me at one point wanted to feel sorry for her because she's obviously troubled, but this evaporated a long time ago. She is a fundamentally shitty person even in phases when she is somewhat well-adjusted and functional, and her mental problems only serve as substrate for her avarice, anger, and lack of remorse. She is the perfect storm of social unmanageability, with her character flaws and her ethanol-driven psychiatric flare-ups complementing one another and clamoring for supremacy.<br /><br />She fails to understand that we don't actively root against her, though. I don't think she has either the basic wiring or the wherewithal to succeed in computer science, but I don't root against it. She will always be a remorseless ass, but if nothing else if she were actually good at something and not basically trading sex for food and shelter in an theoretically outmoded relationship model, she might actually orient her days toward something other than making a complete fool of herself to the few people who even know who she is (although a lot of Brad's runners now do).<br /><br />Anyway, I miss you and I hope this helped. <3kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.com
