My shopping list
I'll be writing about the items I want to get, and strategies to get them.
By the way, my avatar has a story. And I shall tell it here. However, this story only applies to my avatar as it is now. Since I change the items I have equipped every week, this is what he's wearing now if you find yourself reading this after I have changed his clothes. So, he has: Prisoner's Pants, Neutral Starter Urban Guy Shoes, Prisoner's Top, Prisoner's Shackles, Prisoner's Ball and Chain, and Loving Heart Mood Bubble (left).
Never mind, I recreated it, so that you can see the picture.

This is his story.
Jesse believed in love, but never really thought it could happen to him. But it did. And it was nothing like he thought it'd be. It was dark, exhausting, burdensome... He fell in love with M. His friends did not approve. They were telling him that M was trouble from the beginning. But Jesse wouldn't listen. M was all he could think about, he could dream about, he could feel about... It was unnatural. Being away from M was... painful to Jesse. It actually caused him physical pain. And they were separated quite often. They could only see each other when M was available, and it wasn't a lot. M had many dealings with some shady people from the underworld, but was never actually arrested. In spite of that, M's name was familiar to the police. Jesse was blind to all that.

As the weeks, and then months passed, Jesse had less and less time for his friends. Although, most of them weren't his friends anymore, to be honest. If they would be too stubborn trying to prove to Jesse that M's no good, Jesse would just stop talking to them. He did miss his friends, but it couldn't compare to how much he'd miss M if they'd break up.

M, on the other hand... didn't have anything against Jesse. It was always convenient to have someone adore you like that. Jesse would always do anything and everything M asked for.

And then one day...

Jesse's phone rang. He picked it up and heard M's voice on the other side.
"Hi, it's me. Listen, you gotta come here quickly. I... I think... I think I just killed a man."

Jesse hung up the phone and drove to M's apartment. He didn't ask much. He looked at the dead body on the floor in disbelief.
"OK, you have to help me get rid of the body.", M said, in a demanding tone of voice.
"We can't do that, it would be a crime.", Jesse said, almost absent-mindedly.
"Are you crazy? If we don't do it, the police will find out and arrest me. I can't go to jail!", M almost screamed.

Jesse was thinking. He was, after all, a very honorable person. He would never try to hide a murder. Everyone deserved a proper burial, he thought. Of course, he couldn't let M be arrested, that went without saying. So, he knew he had only one choice. He picked up the phone.

"Who are you calling?", M asked.
"The police."
"Are you INSANE?!!", M shrieked. "Hang up, NOW!!!"
"Just relax, honey.", Jesse said. "I'll take care of everything."
At that moment, the operator on the other side picked up.
"Yes?", Jesse asked. He gave the operator his first and last name. "I have to report a homicide. I accidentally killed a man."

The police didn't investigate much. After all, all they look for is a confession. And Jesse gave them one.
He was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. He accepted his sentence happily, because he knew he was doing it for the one he loved.

Ten years have passed since then and Jesse is still serving his sentence. M doesn't come to visit. Jesse understands. After all, M has a life, and it would not be good for M to be noticed communicating with criminals.

He does miss M, but he has his memories to keep him company.

hmm, actually, something's been bothering me about this story. There's this vibe that seems... strangely uncharacteristic of you. It surprised me.

Oh, could you elaborate on that please? What are the characteristics of the vibe that seem incongruous with my overall image?

Like, I ended up thinking about this all yesterday, but...
something doesn't really make sense to me, I guess.

Being apart from M was painful to Jesse, so the thought of M going to jail was out of the question? So much that even though Jesse's sense of justice demanded that the police be told, that a technical murderer would get off free and maybe possibly kill other people accidentally?

Also, if M doesn't visit Jesse... isn't that situation worse than if it was the other way around? Knowing of Jesse's ardent affection/devotion for M, Jesse wouldn't mind being associated with a "known criminal" if he could just see M.

Oh, wait. If M got arrested, he probably would refuse to see Jesse anyway, right?

well, those are the things that I thought that that was strangely illogical, but maybe I'm not seeing certain aspects of this?

It's actually based on a true story, and life isn't always logical.
But, here's how I see it: Jesse loved M. The most painful thing to him would be to see M suffer. And M would definitely suffer in jail. Jesse was willing to sacrifice his own biggest need, the need to be with M, for M's happiness.
The fact that M is a murderer and might kill other people too never occurred to Jesse, because he's blinded with love. For him, M has no flaws and can do no wrong. Also, he knew that if they would try to cover up the crime, the police would find out sooner or later.

LOL, which of these wouldn't appear in a made-up story? (It's only based, not completely replicated.)

oh, I know that it's not all true, LOL, but I still felt like there was this odd... vibe or something. Again, could just be me.
