One of those things

I'm on My LJ, arguably the best bit of revamping the Goat people have done (although 100 icons for paid users is plenty nifty as well), checking to see if someone on my FL has a birthday coming up and, as I'm wont to do, I look over the random user entry. What I find is this wonderfully eloquent post on dealing with a relationship that has ended and how powerful relationships never really end. I'm reading it and I'm nodding to myself, saying "yes, EXACTLY, this is just how I felt when X Y Z" and I'm literally moved to tears at one point (I really have been crying entirely too much lately; I have no idea what's come over me). So before I reply and tell this person how wonderful I thought their entry curiosity moves to check out the gentleman's user information. I find the usual pseudo-deep musing and then, in the middle of all of it, this line: [l]ost my spot at Yale to an underpriviledged minority with a BMW. I'm not bitter, of course. I paraphrase the last sentence slightly, but I'll never forget that first one. It dun smacked me in the jaw. That and his libertarian and conservative republican interests clued me in - yup, dude's an ass. Or, to clean that up - he and I have completely different views on the world. *ahem*

Wow. People are truly giving this world a bad reputation, not to mention a horrible name. Everyone wonders why I come across as "anti-social" sometimes.

And I'm sorry you've been feeling particularly down lately. Feel free to call me if you ever, ever need to talk. 732-343-2399

I hope you're feeling better soon.

I'm feeling okay. Not too bad, really. Like you, the windy rainy weather has got me a little melancholy. Nothing some gothic poetry won't stoke to a roaring flame of EMO EMO EMO help disperse.

Thanks for the offer, L. You're a sweetheart.

Yeah, I figured the weather had something to do with it. It's been crazy! Unseasonably warm one day to incredibly yucky and cold the next...it's too much to bear, sometimes.

And you're very welcome. I'm here for you always.
