I’m not evil. Definitely a bitch, but not evil. ---

Well, I don’t work well with others, I have trouble getting along in groups and I have a propensity to tell people to “shove it” and/or “bite me”, but evil? Nope. I’m just a jerk in general. I’m really not creative enough to be evil. ---

I’ve been told (by several different people) that I’m evil. ---

There is someone I’m having problems with right now. (Covered elsewhere.) When those problems are over, I will become evil. Mediaeval on his ass, to be precise. The extent of my evility will be documented, rest assured. :: Hammer House Of Horror theme in the background :: ---

I think evil is a fundamental state of being, while bitchiness can be transitory. I prefer to choose what sort of wickedness I will exude on a given day. ---

When I was in college, I carried a copy of the Ten Commandments in my wallet so I could keep track of which ones I’d broken. I wasn’t completely serious about it. If I had been, I mean really **really** serious, maybe that would mean I was evil. Of course, if I was only sort of serious, maybe that would mean I just used to be a garden-variety asshole. Not outside the realm of possibility. In reality, though, I hardly took it seriously at all, and I never really showed it to anybody. It was just a private amusement at the time, even though it seems kind of jerky now, in hindsight. Oh, and yes, I occasionally had what I would call an evil laugh because of it. Make of this what you will… ---

According to **dpr** I am inherently evil (being female and all) and since he is president and my boss - it must be true. But I am also a bitch as well. So I guess that makes me an “Evil Bitch” - hey **dpr** are you gonna send me around the world too? ---

Well, DUH!!! Actually, I only think evil thoughts. I have too much rage and hostility to be truly evil. I guess I am partly evil. I am also a bitch but that comes easily. I have to train and work hard at the evil part. Take it from one who knows, being evil and being a bitch are totally different things. (I am being completely serious.) Being a bitch is something you can turn off and on–although, sometimes it is more difficult than one might think. Being really, truly, inherently evil (evn selectively evil) is something that is with you always. True, you can decide for yourself when it will manifest but it is always there under the surface. I actually know and am actually very good friends with an individual such as this. It is a rather odd experience and one I cannot appropriately convey with just words. You would have to experience it for yourself. The best way I know to try to explain it is that a truly totally evil person at the very core of their being has no concern or care for anyone–not even themselves. I know this may strike you as being more neutral than evil but it isn’t. In order for someone to hate, they must feel very strongly. The capacity for feeling such strong feelings goes both ways. Individuals with the capacity for feeling extreme and complete hatred also have the capapcity to feel total and all-encompassing love. (They don’t always show it but the capacity for those feelings is there.) However, someone who is truly evil does not have this capacity one way or another–not even in the interest of self-preservation. I am not explaining this very well and it is probably way more info than was ever needed or wanted but hey, what can I say–I’m evil!!! ---
