Hah! This used to be something that irritated me. Looking at ancestors to define who we are. Being asked of my heritage. But I’ve calmed down a lot in my adult years. I still feel little interest in family trees etc, but am totally fine with others fiddling with ‘em.
My attempt here was to imply that Bruno had made at least a cursory attempt to teach Amy about secret societies of old Europe. Among other things.
And to have a laugh.
This is one of Bruno’s sneakier choices in life. I think it’s wrong to conduct a secret correspondence with a child that you know their parents will object to (certain cases, such where the parents are abusing the child, excepted). But I actually excuse Bruno because she’s family. With family comes good, comes bad, comes ugly.
I will unashamedly say that I loved Garfield as a kid. And also, by the time I wrote “Bruno,” I enjoyed mocking Garfield for it’s very few jokes it repeated over and over. In life, we change.
Sometimes people can react very over-seriously, in this case it think Bruno is just using it as an excuse to poke fun.
I don’t think i was trying to express that dieting is flat-out bad (I’ve been on diets myself), only that there’s a certain level of hedonism which should be considered and allowed. Or else what’s the point?
Ah, pot. Whenever someone would talk about the numerous lovely benefits, I couldn’t help but begin to feel that this was someone justifying something which just kinda made them silly and stupid. I’d be all cool about it, until I would hear these kinds of strong assertions which would make my skeptical side emerge.
But, in the end, I think it has it’s pluses and minuses, and I just don’t care, and I don’t really understand why it’s not legal, when cigarettes and alcohol are.
Anyhow, don’t like the stuff. Just makes my brain stop working in a not-very-pleasant way.
Not that I’ve ever smoked any. Perhaps one time at a party, but I didn’t inhale.
