DISQUS

No offense, cutie, but I have to disagree. I've never known you to keep an opinion to yourself. I've always found you very outspoken in general, a quality which has its good and useful points. It's true that at times in the past you've been more likely to talk to people about politics in an outspoken or even evangelical way, much more so than now, but I think it's less a matter of keeping things to yourself than changing the kind of things you like to talk about. Since you stopped talking about politics like you used to, I've found that sometimes you talk in similar terms about priorities, life choices, etc.--subjects that some people might find harder to accept strong viewpoints about, because they're so personal.

Maybe I'm just as obnoxious as I was before. In fact, I'm sure of it.

You've just changed some of the things you talk about--arguably, are obnoxious about, but that's a matter of perspective (personally, it's a side of you I can find a lot of value in). It seems like a pretty accurate reflection of the things you have been thinking about, and the fact that they have changed too. And, most likely, will change again, eventually. Which is also not a bad thing.

I personally think we could all benefit from more public transportation. But yeah, that was the only sure-seeming thing about the whole election.

My thing about public transportation is that I don't like to use it. When I was at UT, it made sense since there was no parking. Otherwise, I dont use it.

But if more people used public transportation instead of driving, that would mean less traffic, which means you wouldn't have to deal with rush hour hassles. It would also mean less pollution in the air, which may help you breathe easier. So it still involves you!
