Why do you instigate conflict?

"You need to get laid."
"I think you do it cuz you take pleasure in getting a rise out of people. You also know you are good at debating, and you are looking for a match, but mostly i think you like seeing how people break down under the small pressure you put on them and seeing if they can handle it . . . its a psychological game."
"And you need to get laid."
- Mike

"I think it's your cry for help, love, and attention that you didn't get as a child, which is manifested now. Honestly, I think you do it for stimulation, just to see how others respond. Y'know how little kids prod at frogs just to see them jump? you probably never grew out of that phase. So, in a way, it's a sign of immaturity and having not grown out of your life stage. I think it's a power thing too."
- Jane

"I dunno. Maybe because you're naturally more agressive and seek to find out people's opinions by challenging them. Instead of asking a question, you'll try to insult what you think their beliefs are in order to draw out a more emotional/accurate response."
- Evan

Those were some of the more thoughtful responses I got. Anyway, those responses are pretty much on the dot I guess.

Just...take...the...fucking...flower...darling. The Mixed Messenger apologizes again.

You're looking for love, but you'll always maintain your independence. You're prepared for a real commitment, but it's also likely that you're ambitious, which creates a certain romantic tension and ambivalence within you. So although you can be very affectionate to someone, you are also capable of pulling some dubious shit.
In a relationship, you're usually the emotional leader. With your friends, you're a little bit more part of the pack. You're well-liked but you're not the uninhibited type, so the spotlight's often on someone else. In both social and romantic situations, however, you almost always get what you want. Influencing people is something you do very well.

Bikes, booze, and babes.

Well, thats the end of that idea... with most of my weekends gone to work, I'll have little time for cycling. Maybe in two weeks (first week of November), I'll go out for a light spin, enjoy the fall colours and then pack her up until spring. What the hell am I talking about... I've got all these free daytime hours to go cycling. But then again, who wants to go cycling alone?

For the last couple of months, I've been drinking pretty regularly. I have at least two drinks every three days, mostly beer with friends and coworkers, but sometimes scotch at home (alone), and margaritas on tuesdays at moxie's. Alcoholism? I'll be the first to deny it.

I think I need a girlfriend.
