There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Go you , P-C!
and very cool , Hil. sonds like things are going pretty well. and meeting a cute boy that has a lot of similar interest - bonus!, even if he has a girlfriend
I must pretend there was no talk of drink, I have some work to do for tomorrow.
and I will forget about bejeweled ladybits -- until I have the chance to use in a conversation that will stop people cold. I hang with a crowd that thinks there are pretty knowledgeable -- but were astonished to find out certain names like 'brazillian' or 'landing strip'

This is becoming exhausting. And ANNOYING. I want to ask her to tell me stories of how I learned to read so I can share them with you, but she can't talk about anything but this goddamn necklace!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
P-C, it may always be hard, but you've made a huge step in your own growth and in your relationships just by having these conversations. So much strength to you. (And it'll get easier.)
(Aaaaand, I x-posted. Fuck strengh and growth, I want adorkable baby!P-C learning to read, damnitall!)

The status is NOT quo.

Is it just me, or is it a little weird to send the bride and groom a request to "crash" at our place the night of the reception? I mean, it's not our wedding night, but still. My parents are staying with us, so we don't have room anyway, but it just made me uncomfortable.
They're good people (friends of Drew's), and I like them and know that money is tight, but...I don't know. Just seemed odd to even ask.
ETA: And she emailed back after I said we didn't have room b/c of my parents and was very gracious about it and said they would figure something out, so I feel bad for even saying anything here. Ah well. I think I'm just tired and a little crabby tonight.

Our wings are not tired.
It's probably just a reflection on how at ease and welcoming you are, in general, Kristin.

Aw, thanks. Normally it would not at all be an issue. Like I said, I figured I was being overly touchy. They really are dear people.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
It is wierd. I can't imagine asking to stay with the bride and groom... (a wedding reception is a wedding reception, even if signing of papers happened at an earlier date.) Maybe they were hoping for a referral to a friend or neighbor who lives in the area?

While I stand by my comment that Drew and Kristin are so welcoming, I'm also wondering if they assumed that PixDesigns were maybe staying at a hotel that night? That's not unheard of; I've friends who stayed in the wedding couples' place in that situation. But it sounds like it's been handled well and resolved.
