Haha, I'm inclined to agree with you there. Predestined or not, though, I still truly believe that I have to make myself what I want to be, so in essence the idea of predestination to me is more of one of 'oh, this is how KL is and will act as informed by the things she learns along the way and the magic man in the sky knows this because to him it's already happened'. But yeah, I spend entirely too much time pondering metaphysics and such, which I can trace directly back to the existentialism course I took in college. For the most part I'm okay with that as a background hum, but sometimes it leaks through and I fall apart a bit. That's the way in which I'm masochistic.
The people like you who have been around for a long time are part of the reason I've been hesitant to just rehash stories about myself for the competition. You guys already KNOW and it's kind of boring for all of us if we just cover the same ground over and over. That and I just enjoy exploring things more through fiction than I do through banging out my ridiculous thoughts.
I LIKE THAT ICON, IT'S OKAY. I do sometimes beat up metaphors in back alleys.
