I'm taking the poll b/c I just found out that a friend in a somewhat similar situation broke up w/ her BF recently via phone and wondered what the current feeling was on that practice.
I second this suggestion. Alternatively, write down notes of what your pain feels like under various circumstances. Having stuff written down makes it easier to remember all the little details that tend to get completely sucked out of one's brain the moment one sees a white coat. It is a strategy that has helped me on more than one occasion, especially when I was so worn down and emotionally fragile I couldn't even talk to the doc - I just handed him the list.
This makes surreal sense given smonster was considering a letter breakup.
Scrappy is wise. Jessica is funny. Many peeps make good points. And smonster love her Bitches. It's more complicated than I want to get into here, especially stealth typing on an iPhone from KBD's house. But the input is appreciated
I will most likely do it in person with letter backup.
Calli, whatcha doin' Saturday afternoon?

Psst...
grab the pillow now...
Smonster, Leifur has a vet appointment in the morning, but otherwise my day is free. I'd be up for anything that didn't involve much walking.

Wrong quote in my cache. I swear I cc&p'ed the right thing, don't know how it got mixed up. Fixed now, anyway.
I just interviewed a high school girl for admission to Rice. She came here from China last year, so her English was a little broken, but passable.
As we were leaving, I told her to feel free to e-mail me with any questions she had about Rice and such.
In a complete
non sequitur,
she said, "I don't know if this is appropriate...but you're a good-looking guy."
...I said, "Thank you." It was not appropriate! But it was amusing! Especially since, from my name, she had been expecting a woman.
So I'm attractive to underage Chinese girls. That's...something, I guess.

Your mother will be so ...
Dude, she's going to hate this.
I want to COMM Jessica's semaphore breakup so much, but I don't want to upset anyone.
happy belated birthday to Emeline!
askye, that sounds similar to the pain I had with a kidney infection a while back.
Dude, she's going to hate this.
The next possible potential future wife is an L.A. law student with a British accent. Fingers crossed!
Last night, my mom e-mailed me for a photo and short bio, and I told her she had both of those already. She said she couldn't find them, so I sent her the biodata I'd sent her before with a couple updates. She said that, no, she just wanted height and weight and date of birth and all that, and I replied, "Tough." And she was all, "WHAT DO MEAN TOUGH [sic]." And I told her that if she wanted to do it her way, she could do it herself. That information was there, and she could delete what she wanted, but I wasn't going to deliberately hide who I was for this process. She said it wasn't about hiding who I was; it was just what they expected and what she would expect from them, and anyway, she got my sister to do it.
In other news, an LJ friend introduced me to a fannish Indian girl in New York, and we have been having long e-mail conversations for the last couple weeks. And we didn't even get each other's biodata; we just happened to click. I don't know whether it will develop into Anything, but for now it at least gives me hope that there are Indian women out there who may actually find me worth talking to. And that it really is possible to connect with a stranger through e-mail.
