I'm sorry I called you a dick, Fireball. I am touchy about being compared to EP because I fucking hate that guy.
You're not a dick. You're a really nice guy and probably had no idea how hard a comparison to EP hits me below the belt.
Crying wolf is about lying about something that didn't really happen and expecting people to believe you when it does happen. Failing to follow through with something when you keep trying is more like failing to ween yourself off an addiction despite good intentions, rather than crying wolf. And it's not like I'm ever promising anything. I'm just trying. I get it that people are probably sick of hearing me announce my efforts only to see me fail (but if anyone says I can't be trying just because I keep failing then that's a huge pet peeve of mine).... I really ought to not always announce everything that's on my mind.
