I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
My brain works this way:
Someone else: You can't do that totally legal thing!
My brain: YES! YOU CAN!
Me: I'm gonna get me some alcohol and totally drunk read the shit out of a piece of garbage and write a hilarious, truly snarky review. Thank you brain!
Most likely me the next day: Why, brain, why?
And my brain will convince me I've won.
