You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I had a friend who appeared to be everything I'm looking for a girl but the chemistry just wasn't there. I think it took us six months before we finally figured out the sparks weren't sparking. I'm not sorry we dated as long as we did but I think it would have been better if one of us has said something earlier.

iow, Gris is wise.

Yeah, that WAS the second date (which is why I went on it--the first one was fun, but I was kinda like "was the good friend chemistry, or good anything-more chemistry? I can't quite tell..."). Guess I'll carefully craft an email tomorrow. I'm really kicking myself for not sending the email earlier, because it lowers my chances of the friend-convert, which I was really hoping for, because she did seem really cool. But it's a tricky play, and any added awkwardness brings your stats on that one down (to make it a huge sports metaphor there ;)

All my sympathies, Kristin.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, Kristin, I'm so sorry for you and for all of your kids and colleagues. And especially Olivia's sister. You're all in my thoughts. Healing-ma and dealing-ma your way.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

(((((Kristin))))) I'm so sorry. From what I hear she was an amazing young woman. So much -ma to you, your school and her family.

Hey. New board.

Yeah, that WAS the second date

Ah. Yeah, then, no going again. Good luck with the friend-convert, though. You could probably still pull it off if she's actually cool and you're straightforward about it, unless she REALLY likes you romantically.

Hey. New board.

And because it deserves its own post, {Kristin}. I'm so sorry.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm sorry, Kristin. Peace and strength to all her loved ones.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Kristin, I'm so sorry.

Meara, go on the second date, but what you said before is what you should say right away - like between drink or appetizer order and dinner order. It seems maybe salvageable, but only if you put your cards on the table in that kind of interval.

Or maybe I'm craxy, I'm not exactly an authority here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

{{{{{Askye}}}}}} I'm glad that you have a plan for Friday that sounds so sane and perfect for getting you through the day, but I'm sure sorry that you are having to say goodbye to Anna.

{{{{Kristin}}}}} Olivia's loss truly makes this world a less bright and hopeful place, as so many loved and cared for her, and as she had such potential to shine.
