Being in the fun, beginning part of a relationship when one of your best buddies is in the middle of a bad breakup.

Oh no!! Looking at engagement rings, and then breaking up? That IS bad!! Poor thing. I mean, I suppose better that he was supportive then, and broke up with her NOW, as opposed to breaking up with her right before finals or something, but...yeesh.

That's also part of how I know my life may be heating up--my friend J just had his girlfriend dump him. Which is horrible and awful...but apparently there's a law that only one of us can be getting any at any given time, so he was like "hey. K dumped me. Apparently you may be having sex soon" Which is part of why I adore him. Poor puppy.

(Also, why am I awake at this hour on a saturday? Because i woke up at 5:30AM and considered getting up but that was too early. WTF, brain??)

And then she told me that for the past many months, basically she had thought I was hot, but that they had been assessing whether I might be crazy. Because many lesbians are crazy. And because I was new, both to the group and to town, they had no one to check if I was crazy. And I had become friends with everyone, so if I was crazy, and she got involved, there would be drama not just with her, but with the whole friend group.

...see, really, this, and the 'you should call me' - I kind of think that she doesn't remotely even a little bit deserve the hot sexin'. Because she is A KNOB. Seriously. Angelina Jolie is not hot enough to get away with this nonsense.

Yeah. It's awful awful awful - but at least he had the balls to break up now, rather than be spineless and let things snowball. (WeeSisterJay's best friend's fiance let things snowball and didn't break up with her until THE HONEYMOON. The fucktard. And they're both Catholic, to add insult to injury.)

Heh. Well, no, she probably doesn't. But damnit. *I* do!!

The stupid thing is, I'm suspect some of the things she was worried I might be crazy about? She could've freakin' ASKED me. I mean, some of the stuff is things you can ask someone and they're going to lie through their teeth, if that's what they want to do. But some of the stuff, I could've given a straight-up answer, from my history, of "yes, I've done this before. No, I don't have a problem with it." (fr ex. on teh poly thing. or on the not wanting to be her girlfriend thing, though that's more one of the things people would say one thing even though they might not actually mean it) and at least been a little bit of reassurance. But noooooooo, that would've been too sensible for someone who is INSANE. Clearly.

t edit: (Oh, and also? She's like, "I have this cellular telephone. You should call it, and ask me on a date". And I'm thinking "Sweetie. I don't want to DATE you. I have no interest in going on a DATE with you. You do not want to DATE me. I know this. We just want to fuck. Can we just freakin' go home together after dancing, already, and get this over with??") t /serious eye-rolling

nevmind....

Actually, I think it's more that she's dumping him. She's just realized that this is not a healthy relationship, and it needs to end. But, it's ending painfully and slowly. They live together, so it's difficult...

All of this has made me want to go back to an idea I've had (that I mentioned to some people at the F2F) to start some kind of cancer website/blog for the angry and cynical. I'm going to flesh out the idea more on LJ.

I have an old friend, snarky snarky improvisor and essayist, who would be SO into that. "Brave? I just don't want to DIE."

Support vibes to ND and Kristin. ND, I hope you're quickly over your illness. The Bitches are wise. Both of you take extra care of yourselves--you can't support anybody else if you're wobbly. Strength and courage wished for both of you.

Tamara, take whatever strength you can from the support you find here. It means more than you'd ever think until it's there when you need it.

If I were in charge of the world, this would be a law. Every book in a series would have to have all the books in the series listed, latest to earliest.

At the very least, every author in these modern times ought to have that info on a website.

Continuing to enjoy the ongoing saga of meara and the GILF, though I'm thinking if/when the sex finally happens it'll have to be pretty much the most mindblowingly wild and awesome ever to be worth going through so much to get there...

I am heartbroken that I missed the timely window to wish JZ a Happy Birthday. I hope it was stellar, dear, and that the year ahead is filled with amazing adventures, new discoveries, much accomplishment, and a generous leavening of fun. Also? Sparklers. Somewhere in there, there should be sparklers.

(((GC))) My sympathies. The right decision is always difficult. But it's a wise woman who recognizes the solace in ice cream. (((GC))) again, just because.

Erin is adorable, drunk or sober. And meara and Fay's assorted satellites need to open their eyes and see the gorgeousness before them and pay proper homage. Yes.

I have sad and responsible errands today, ones I would rather not do. But since the other parties involved are 7 and 15, somebody has to drive. Guess that's me.
