Crabs are fleas.

Don't take this question badly, some incisive observations are worth repeating.
But I must ask, have you borrowed Ultima's mouse?

"...not that I know of..." replied the goblin whose mind felt like it wobbled inside its skull with each dull thought, "...I will never drink again till next time..." he promised thinking that at least it was a more honest appraisal of his long term ability to forget today's sorely felt lesson but for the time being that lesson held him in check

I was posting using my mobile phone. For some unknown reason, I posted double.

He hasn't even got an avatar.

That's because he's fat.

Daaawwwwww, c'mon, don't be like that.

From a fat guy to a relatively skinny guy: get over it or get skinny.

"...most of human interaction, and resulting conversation, is just saying that which is expected of one so that one can get back to more important things like daydreaming or reasoning other things in the back of ones mind..." mentioned the goblin, adding "...so why challenge, thus becoming ostracized in doing so, any expected norm where one can remain hidden in full view by simply playing the expected part and saying the right words each time...", actually on the goblin's mind was his thinking that 99% of ones whole life slips under the attention radar like this, where 1% is actually retained in memory-form through some aroused emotional awareness towards it, simply put, one lives a life that one mostly forgets

The Goblin is correct.  If you place our memory on a bell graph with negative and positive memories as the left and right extremes, we only remember the most horrific, and most amazing moments in our lives.  I remember exactly what I was doing on Tuesday Sept. 11, 2001 at 8:53 AM - (I say 8:53 AM, because this is when I first learned of the attack.)  On the opposite side of my memory bell graph is the moment I asked my wife to marry me.  Friday May 18th, 2007 11:19 AM,  Sun shining through pine tree, through the blinds, into the bedroom.  It looked truly ethereal.
Anyway, the lesser memories aren't gone forever...they just require a reminder, or a dejavu perhaps.

("...nice reply..." went the goblin now, adding "...it's that subject of persona again, isn't it, and how to hide by not drawing attention to oneself, and conversely how easy it is not to notice, once one is hiding that is, that which one is hiding from...", in fact, the goblin had tried to cover this idea many times in posts to date, he post two now)

"...Richelieu once said "secrecy is the first rule of state", and the important thing here is that "secrecy", in this sense, isn't some childlike denial, or refusal to reply, or straight out lying either, it's that actual "where am I in all this" question...", and then the goblin felt his nagging need of a coffee again, he was now fighting a sensation of dullness of thought that was taking over here, either way the goblin knew he would have to head into the kitchen in a moment, but meanwhile he just continued "...anyway, the world of adolescence, as opposed to that of adulthood, is the one of finding ones "secrecy" mistakenly thought of as actually gaining some outright independence, for "secrecy" one can have in dailylife if one constantly keeps it in focus, but dailylife doesn't let one have that true independence, if only because society functions on the surrender of everyones independence within it, in that, the moment one asks oneself "what do I want from dailylife" one is just buying into the system again..." mentioned the goblin finally heading headlong into the kitchen for that coffee now

But isn't life like a big masquerade party? Or is it more like the Matrix?

"...perhaps it's a bit of both then, part matrix par masquerade here..." smiled the goblin, explaining "...ah, but no independence ever, for one still depends on dailylife doesn't one, but between that secrecy within one and ones deception without, one can perfect a mask between them both, where simply if one neither knows what's going on around one, nor is able to hide it if one does know, then any mask is pointless, as one just becomes an ignorant sheep on the one hand, or an open book on the other, for the whole point of the mask is to mask something by it..."

The best weekend of my life.

After 28 years, I am finally engaged. Happened this Saturday at Multnomah Falls located just east of Portland. The weather was beautiful. She was beautiful. The drive there was beautiful. It couldn't have been more perfect. We were up there to go to a Blue October concert (which was the most amazing of the 3 I've seen) and I decided the time was right. It was like everything set up absolutely perfect for us that day.

We've only been together for 7 months, but she is already my best friend. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.

I am currently happier than I've ever been.

Congrats! I know the feeling as well.  
May you grow on parallel paths, never go to sleep angry, and never forget what really matters.

AND YOU HAD BETTER CLAIM JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR...OR ELSE!!!! But don't worry, He loves you*

Congratulations.  You couldn't have picked a better place to do it, either -- stairstep falls showering you and all.
