Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I suspect Scrappy is right about the friend's basic intentions - especially if you've seen her at her worst as she says. But Steph's right about what a shitty angle it is to take right now.

I agree. It sounds like a bad intersection of unconscious button-pushing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And, Barb, I know you are hurting and wish your friend hadn't gotten all defensive with you today of all days. I am sorry if I gave any other impression.

Waht I was saying is that, for me, not sharing my darker feelings or constantly qualifying them (because I grew up in a house where one Did Not Complain) served to push the people I needed away, rather than bring them closer. Learning not to do that was hard and I still fail at it a lot, but it did make me feel like a wall between me and other people went away.

That's what it sounds like to me. And Barb, you are not a drama queen. Not at all, sweetheart.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Maybe a little, because I think most writers are, but I don't think you are overdramatizing your current sitch.

Tom Lenk (Andrew) comes out.

Apparently I missed the memo on his ever having been in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was so cold on my way home, my teeth were chattering like CRAZY. So I was unsurprised to hear about the chance of snow here as well.... And it was 40 degrees, so maybe that is time to pull out the warmer coat. And/or wear a sweater. Either one probably would have done.

BRRRR!

Now I have an apple crisp in the oven, so that should help.

I'm not in this! But it'll still be cool.

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

Unpossible!
