Timelies all!
Feeling frustrated with Mr. S. This is not an uncommon event, alas.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Ugh I hate dating so much. (But do want to be in a relationship, so....)
Met someone cute, we made plans a couple weeks ago to hang out this Saturday. Ended up unexpectedly meeting up last Thursday, felt like it went well, messaged a bit last weekend, then....silence from Saturday through today, when I messaged asking if we are still on for Saturday. I know they saw it....but no response. Grrrr. I don't want to have it canceled but I also don't want to be in limbo until I decide to make other plans? Hmph.

Ugh, meara & msbelle, total empathy for both of you. On to better things (and/or people)!

Well, at least no 1.25 hr commute. And you made it a long way in.

Punishingly Intricate
Ugh, yeah, that commute would grow tiresome quickly.

Sigh. Person responded all "um, so is this a date? I'm not in a place to date right now sorry" like yeah, we made out but you weren't sure if this was a date???!?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm sorry, msbelle.
I'm sorry, meara, and I share your frustration. "Luckily" in I'm a grad school + work combo that barely lets me get sleep so dating cannot happen, but yeah, it is so frustrating.

I saw Jagged Little Pill last night. I think if you like Alainis you'll like it. The music is good. The performances are really good. There are some very cool things they do in the story-telling. My one gripe is that the following things are addressed in the show:
Climate change, gender identity, sexuality, rape, white privilege, inter-racial adoption, male privilege, opioid abuse, family dynamics/gender roles, class issues, academic pressure on youth, mental health stigma
It is a lot. Some is more organic and not stressed so much, but I think as big plot points, maybe they went one too many.
