The castle-bandits metaphor resonates, and gives me another way to understand my tendencies (and one easily remembered - a call to action!). Thanks! Awesome post, man.

Even though you probably didn't answer your dad (because that would be admitting you're wrong), he did make you realize internally that your behavior didn't make much sense. And seems like it's worked out really well for you :) WWJBD ftw! @Mo:

My Dad would then sit me down and ask me, "Do you like feeling like this?" This always made me angry because I couldn't answer yes and mean it (and keep it up!), but admitting no would be admitting that my current behaviour was unreasonable. Since those days though, there is very little that ruffles my feathers and I'm very grateful to my Dad for teaching me to reason through my emotions. =) Excellent post =). WWJBD?! lol.

Those damn low percentages of life coaches, bloggers, linux users, esperanto speakers,... Wait, damn. I think that supports your second hypothesis. Does that mean I also have cancer, will get attacked by a polar bear, and will get hit by a lightning? @Sheila:

Lol, just my holiday thoughts.

He would say "Why, yes, you're absolutely right my dear!" (Actually I'm pretty sure he would work some pun into that sentence. But I spent 5 minutes racking my brain, and came up with nothing. Then again, I don't have a full team of writers to create dialogue for me :P) On a related note, I went to the post office early in the morning a few weeks back. Just as they were opening. So I got in the queue, got my ordering ticket and guess what, I was the 7th customer! So my ticket read in big numbers: <strong>007</strong> I keep it pinned on my noticeboard at home :D @Gabrielle:
