How I Met Your Sociopath

With me reading up on "The Blog Of John Watson" I can't help but see all the views he gets. Why don't I get that many views? What does he have that I doesn't. (Well for one he's a fiction character with a 100 year old fandom, numerous movies and television shows and thousands of devoted fans.)

But I could have that, if I put a little more out there. A little more personnel.

I read the "Study In Pink" and that was fairly personal about their little sociopath, so I wonder what my resident sociopath would think about me telling the story of how we met?

Oh god, help us;

Because of an unfortunate friendship I had in the 6th grade, I was forced to leave for 7th grade. Outsourcing my education to a very religious, very good, private homeschool.

This private homeschool-(at which C.E still attends)-was quite a while a way from our house, and every week on tuseday, we would drive over there, and turn in my homework. Ocassionaly-and quite akwardly-the school would hold these little "get togethers" where extremely strange, straightforward, religious student would get together and talk about how the world was only 1,000 years old and how evolution was a poor mans excuse and bull like that.

But upon one of these meetings I happened to meet someone I quite agreed with. You guessed it, C.E. She was sitting at a table, reading, while other kids played basketball and volleyball and cried or prayed everytime they got a boo-boo.

I went over to the table to investigate why there would be anyone who would wanna miss out on the "christan fun time", and found that, quite suprisingly, C.E had a black eye.

I asked her how she got it, to which she responded:"I simply said, that if the world is only 1,000 years old, why was jesus born 2,000 years ago?"

"Someone punched you for that?" I asked.

"No, I believe the point I made about the whole notion of religion being no different from the early pagans did that. Are you religious?" That was a weird thing to ask after insulting religion, I thought.

"In retrospect, I didn't expect that short kid to punch that hard."

"I can imagine that......." I said.


That may seem like an unlikely start to a friendship, but during that time I had no friends and was quite alone. And any company no matter how strange was better than none.

God help us, L.N.S
