Pfft. Worst transition ever! "I am so there for you!! Not now though. Maybe later."And yet? Made me laugh. Literally. Which was really good.
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I really don't like the part of me that is posting All About Me And My Pain right now. I'm not going to stop, hopefully, but it still grates.
In-very-deed. One realizes that one is so terribly bored of dealing with the shit, and if you're boring yourself, then how are others going to react? It feels so damned Narcissistic. "See me! I hurt, I'm frustrated, and all the other things I've been taught I should keep to myelf." But that way leadeth to ulcers, and that's one more thing you don't need.
t gazes out snowy window pensively, comes up with nothing pity It sucks, my sister. It sucks.

Deena is me. I'm about to go to sleep, but hey, I'm there for you, Cass. Tomorrow. Yeah, that's right. Tomorrow. Or maybe Tuesday.
Seriously, I too have been there. Even though the divorce was certainly not my idea, within a few years I came to realize that I was better off. That does not mean I didn't spend many hours as a sodden lump on the bed.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Gronk.
Made it my first week.
34 hours on the clock.
I think I can make it the whole 40 next week, easy.
Still looking for permanent job, or on to start when this one ends (or sooner if fiscally advantagous) in 6-8 weeks.

Damn I love the Bitches. I just do.
Thank you all. Even those of you who chose lives and sleep over comforting me tonight.
I am going to try and get some sleep myself now. If that Insomnia Bitch shows up, Ima flay her. Really not the night to mess with me. (Does anyone have ita on speed dial if it turns out that the Insomnia Bitch has skillz beyond the keeping me awake for ages?)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
{{{Cass}}} Restful sleep-ma to you.
And in my first world problem of the night, I'm wrestling with a pesky transition scene, wherein characters who are barely acquainted realize they're headed in the same direction and might as well walk together as not. Which leads to conversation, and banter, and chemistry if I'm doing this right. And I've written the banter, and I think it's decent. Shows that the characters fell deeply in like at first sight, yet with hints of conflict. But I'm on my fifth try at actually getting them out the door and headed in the same direction.
But describing it makes me realize I've overcomplicated the thing, when all that really needs to happen is the simple realization they're going the same place....off to try again....
