Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

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.

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

Ugh, meara. I'm sorry. You are awesome and deserve better.

Continuing job~ma, msbelle.

I locked my keys in the trunk of the car after getting groceries today and had to wait a half hour outside in the cold because my coat was also locked in the car. I'm so sick of my inability to do anything right lately.
