How can I feel so cheerful when I'm under all this stress, you ask?
And what gave you the impression that I'm feeling cheerful? I act like it, you say? Silly *person*. Who ever said that I still feel emotions? In my profession, there is no room for any of that. I haven't "felt" anything in over a year. The way I act, my personality, is not governed by emotions like normal people. No, it is the memories of the emotions I once felt that shape my personality. Memories of a time when I could lounge around idly without a care in the world. Memories of when the most difficult choice I had to make was "should I watch tv or read a book?" Memories. Don't believe me? I couldn't care less if you did. I haven't felt any new emotion in years. Thats why my reactions to things are so childish.

So why cheerfulness, you ask? I dunno. Comes naturally I guess. I dont regret this. Emotions are like excess baggage anyway. They never did anyone any good. Some of them are needed? Well I believe I can accurately simulate the important ones. Happiness, Annoyance, Pleasure, Discomfort, Boredom, and Love. I dont think anyone needs more than those.

-unused ideas-

I act based on how I think I would have acted if I had/still felt emotions.


looking for constructive criticism on that.
