Goddamn it, I hate people.

Bitches. That just has to be said.

Twas another lazy day for me. Boy, is there a pattern or what? I keep wishing I'd get more hours from Galyna and at the same time I'm lapping this up because I know once school starts things will be gonzo.

Some total ass made it their mission to spoil Potter for me. Well, not only me. Apparently there are a rash of internet people who've decided they must fuck everyone else over. If you're tired of the hype, fine, bitch away on your damn journal and mock the masses. Must you ruin the reading experience as well? God. Bitches and more bitches. And the spoilage that I came across was on a MOVIE bulletin board. I was broadsided by it.

I hate bitter people (nope, no irony to be found in that statement, because it's been well-established that I'm none too fond of myself). Crawl in your damned hole and whine already.

What else? Decided to go find the novelization of Latter Days. I thought it'd turn into some sort of scavenger hunt but it was in the first Barnes and Noble I visited. I haven't started it yet, though. I actually have a queue of sorts. The first three GNs of Lucifer finally made their way to my hot little hands. Then I went to the library yesterday and picked up, among other things, a Constantine GN written by Mike Carey as well (I swear when I picked it up I didn't know he'd penned it; total coincidence). I also picked up another Starman GN. Man, it's growing on me so much. I knew it'd won my heart when I read the word "Starbucksization" and didn't roll my eyes over the hokeyness of it. I finished the Starman while on my way back home and it took all that was within me not to run to an uptown train and stop by Midtown for the next set. Patience is a virtue I rarely possess. I'm such an impulse buyer. Maybe I'll pick it up a couple after I get my next check.

NIN is playing in NYC again. I found out about it a couple of weeks ago but didn't think much of it. I mean, I want to see Trent play, but...Tickets for the concert (in November) go on sale tomorrow at 10. If it's anything like the last time all the tickets will be sold the eff out like NOW. The NIN "fan club" sent out a mailing saying you could purchase tickets in advance if you gave them 30 bucks or some crap, to which I said "Delete". Trent ain't treatin' me nice, no he ain't. And KROCK can suck it. Bitches.

Timelines and Alternate Dimensions are nearly as perplexing as matters of the heart

Okay, this is so weird I felt it had to be plastered in my LJ.

Say you're in a deep (think "soul mate") relationship and then somehow you're suddenly flung into the future. Perhaps 15 years later. Same place, just the future. You meet up with your soul mate; of course, he/she's aged 15 years. He/She is also married or otherwise committed to another person and there are kids involved. You, say, run around with the other person because you have some mission or task to accomplish with them, and the old feelings he/she had for you re-emerge (remember now, y'all are soul mates... or at least a reasonable facsimile). You're torn because this person is your soul mate, only...not. Your alternate dimension soul mate (ADSM for short), if you will. He/she has someone else in their life and young'uns. But he/she obviously still cares for you.

So y'all run around, do your thing, and then you're ready to go back to your past (you were flung into the future with knowledge that you knew how to get back to your own time, and you didn't hesitate to share this knowledge with the ADSM). But...ADSM's looking at you with the most forlorn expression and you're looking back at him/her and you want to kiss him/her just to...you don't know. Argh! The agony!

Do you kiss ADSM and perhaps engage in sexual relations? For clarification, you're unsure if your departure from the "future" timeline will cause a collapse of the dimension or if time will continue and ADSM will have to deal with the fallout of having essentially having an affair with you. Maybe there will be no fallout and ADSM will keep it all as a secret. Maybe ADSM's SO will be understanding. Maybe not. You have no idea. What you do know is that you love the person, but you're just as conflicted as they are.

Again, what do you do? And if you do, uhm, DO ADSM, what would you tell soul mate from your own time when you returned, if anything?

I've been reading comics for the last couple of weeks. It's the only reason I can think of that I've been pondering this all damned afternoon.

ETA - There are more than a few books/movies/comics that deal with this. Can anyone lend me the names of good ones?
