While I do think it's totally in character for her, I think it's also not as moronic behaviour as you do, GC. I see it as a reaction to extreme pain at a very weak moment in your life. I'm possibly taking it almost as personally as Kat, although I've never had the same stimulus, I've had near the same reaction -- it felt horrible, but even in retrospect not exceptionally childish.

Natter 32 Flavors and Then Some
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. Except where I get what she does and understand it and have done similar and you calling her a moron for similar behavior here Gloomcookie "Natter 32 Flavors and Then Some" Feb 15, 2005 9:32:57 pm PST seems to point to me being a moron too.
But whatever.
Debate: Watch Veronica Mars or go to sleep. I've had more phone calls tonight than I've had in the past month.
A quasi-ex of mine proposed to his girlfriend yesterday and he called to tell me that she said yes. It's so exciting and I'm so happy for him!
What made me laugh was his rationale for proposing on Valentine's Day.

Okay, sorry you guys are offended. I was simply discussing a fictional character.

I think Kat and I were discussing reasonable behaviour.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Watch VM! It rocks the house, as they're back to squeezing in three plotlines with payoff.

Hey, ita, did you get the email I sent to you today? It had pictures for you (of Colin Farrell, fwiw).

Oh, I did, Kat -- they are very pretty. But wee! Where did you get them?

Well, I certainly was. It's official, ita, until tomorrow, please feel free to post for me, since you are more succinct and you have the better typing than I have.
PC, I can watch it on Tivo tomorrow. I have a 1 hour demo lesson at a school where 2 of my writing project participants are working and where my friend works. I'd like not to suck. But it's possible I'll suck anyway. If I'm going to suck, I'd like to be at least rested.
And I didn't get to sleep last night until 2:00 AM. and that was with the failsafe yoga breathing to get me to sleep.

Oh. sad about the wee thing. They came from dailyceleb.com. And while I'd like to pretend I'm not star obsessed, I think buying a subscription to there would cement it.
I still have to revise a handout and tomorrow I'll have to go to my favorite Kinkos on the way to the school.
ARGH.

Huh. I'm confused then cause that's what I thought I was discussing too. All I'm saying is if I sunk my life's savings into a business with someone and she disappeared for an event that she was managing without so much as a word and then refused to pick up her phone, leaving me to worry that something horrible happened to her I'd be furious. So, in my opinion, that is not reasonable behavior. Taking a mental health day (or more)? Not unreasonable. Screening your calls on said mental health day(s)? Not unreasonable. Crying and staying in bed? Hell yes. I've done all of these things. It's the vanishing on a best friend thing that I'm calling out. And now I'm going to bed :)
