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

Got it, got it, don't got it, on my wishlist, hmm...

I would recommend Morcheeba's "The Sea." Great song.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Having a good relationship means that your own crazy meshes well or nicely balances the other person's crazy. Trust me, I speak from experience here.

Or at the very least, knowing when to get out of the way of the other person's crazy.

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

Having a good relationship means that your own crazy meshes well or nicely balances the other person's crazy.

Enh. There's also feeling like you're a complete emotional dead weight with nothing to offer, and just a big ball of need need need. Doesn't put me in a pairing mood.

In fact, in many ways our crazies are not very compatible with each other, and we can easily make each other unhappy quickly.

Oh, there are many ways in which Pete's crazy does not always mesh well with mine. But most of the time it does, and the times that they don't? We still manage to get through pretty quickly. But to me, one of the most important keys for a solid relationship is the ability to look at your partner and say "I think you're crazy, I don't understand this particular quirk of yours AT ALL, but I still love you and want to keep you around". Previous relationships of mine would not have withstood that particular acid test; I just tried to convince myself that they would.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Having a good relationship means that your own crazy meshes well or nicely balances the other person's crazy.

Also key is being able to seperate your own crazy from the crazy of others - namely immediate family - and not taking their crazy upon yourself. I also speak from experience.

Joe and I like to remind ourselves, "OUR crazy...THEIR crazy."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"I think you're crazy, I don't understand this particular quirk of yours AT ALL, but I still love you and want to keep you around".

Yes, this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This stupid day will never end. So I'm going to cheat, and make it end. By leaving work early.

That is brilliant.

My friend at work is going for a bra fitting tonight, and invited me along. Yeah, I don't think so. TMI for a work friend.

Oh yes. Even when we can barely stand to be around each other (which is quite rare), we can't bear to be apart.

So I hate everyone today, right? I was super happy to see this Overheard in New York: [link] That's my girl.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think the next hour for me is going to draaaaaaaaag. It's been mostly pleasant, though I'm irrationally irritated at a couple of my friends-should be easy to shake off though. Mostly I've spent the day coming up with avatars and making a couple of posters. I made one with the Sarah Connor/Lara Croft quote from the movie thread last night and a demotivational poster that was supposed to represent the batfamily, but now refers to a challenging person my team works with. They made me post it on the outside of my cube.
