People use other people all the time for their own ego trip. Like 
leading a person on into asking a question to which the answer is a 
brag.  example:
     
     KID #1:  Oh dear me I'm gonna miss school next wk.
     KID #2:  Why?
     KID #1:  We're going to our private resort in the 
     Bahamas...
     KID #2:  WOW!  What a luck!
     KID #1:  (smugly) Oh, it's not such a big thing, we 
     		always go there, we have so many resorts 
     		it gets to be a drag.
     
Now I wonder who that reminds me of? Why, Mimi ___, of course. Only 
it's usually N.Y. that she visits to visit her Dad.  My mom says I can 
go to Manhattan any time I want to visit the S_______'s.  Today 2 men 
were choked to death with metal rings slowly tightened around their 
necks because they murdered the President of Spain.  How primitive!  I 
missed Johnny Carson when Bob Newhart & Erich Segal were on, I only 
saw part of Erich Segal. I would've liked to see Bob Newhart I think 
he's sorta funny. I wish I had a boyfriend who'd drive me to a bunch 
of places in the weekend. I've got to learn how to make my own 
entertainment, preferably outside, without anyone or anything to help. 
No TV or even books, pens, paper, etc. NOTHING. No camera. I could 
make stuff out of snow, or just regard Mom Nature. That's preparing 
for the fuel shortage (& thing shortage) if anything is.
