Giles ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't see SCOTUS supporting the ban after being willing to let the overturns of the others stand. It would lead to complete chaos legally.
Yeah, that's what I meant.
Still, my fucking circuit court. It's like being kicked after already being down from the election. Boo.
Timelies all!
Sorry about your butthead circuit court, Steph. (Yet another sentence I never expected to say)
Someone please tell me I'm not a bad person: Friend just texted me, stating that her boyfriend just broke up with her, and she wants to stay with me until she finds an apartment. The BF is here most nights of the week, so I said I'd have to discuss with him first. The problem is that I really don't want to say yes (there's bound to be drama), but I also don't want to be a bad friend. I also have no idea how long it's going to take her to find an apartment either. Ugh. Catch-22, rock and hard place, damned if I do and damned if I don't....
You are not a bad person, Maria. That's a lot for her to ask.
Maria, I don't feel like now is a good time to be taking on someone else's stress.

It would make sense and all that, as does marriage equality in general. And yet, sometimes my notion of sense making and the high court are not the same.
That's a tough one Maria. Getting in the middle of drama never fun. How close is the friend?
I know, but how the fuck do I say no without appearing like a jerk?
She's close, but not super close. She's also young. Still in her mid-20's.
edit: Argh, I should have posted this in Bitches. Not going to cross-post now.

I'm sorry, now isn't a good time for you to stay over.
You're not her family, right? This is not your problem. (I can't imagine. As much as I'm thinking about applying for asylum this week, I can't imagine going to Casa Zmayhem all "Hey, got a couch I can borrow?") But of course, I can't just crash places anyway.) "I'm so sorry, but you're a smart person, you'll figure it out." I know Gavin deBecker says "No is a complete sentence." But most people do find that a bit harsh.
