goatgodschildToday, I was telling Olivia about some of the failed social events that CSUCI held. One of which was an ice cream social, which was massively under-provisioned, and turned into mild anarchy. But I remembered as well, that that's where I met Michael. We only met a couple of times, Michael and I, but he made an incredible impact on me.
For one thing, he made soul drawings, although I never saw any of those, and he gifted me a charm of courage that I still have. But the night I nearly punched in that window, he walked me around until I was calmed down again. And he told me something that is valuable, if nothing else. His father had been a military man, you see, and Michael said to me that I needed to stay as far away from anything related to the military as I could, --
They'll turn you into a monster, Jon.
I don't doubt he was right.
And given that, from what else he mentioned, I was a 5'1 and AFAB clone of his dad, I'm not surprised that he cut off contact, either.
