*huge limer hugs* i hope his strength and health improve.

I may yet send this one - I'm going to read it back in the morning and see how melodramatic it sounds.

...

Ok so I think this needs to be said, in the hope that it will clear things up properly and negate my need to whine at you while drunk.

I would never have assumed this was going to go anywhere if you hadn't made me think otherwise. But you kept saying things like "you'll have to come over for dinner sometime" and "yeah, drinks sound great" and "i'll buy casablanca and we can watch all those films". I actually thought you meant them, or I wouldn't have kept trying to organise things.

G, I don't want a relationship. I just thought we could have some fun. And I thought that you wanted that as well. So yes, I'm a little sad that you don't, and yes, I'm pissed off that you made me think you did. But I'm under no illusions now. And I still wanted to come over last night and I'm not thanking you for saying no now that I'm sober - whatever your reasons don't claim you were doing it out of kindness.

I like you. I think we get on well and I think we could have had a good time together. But I don't like you enough to get hurt over this. I just have a tendency towards melodramaticism sometimes. (And for that I am sorry).

So its said. Feel free to ignore or dispute as you will. I feel better for having said it anyhow.

ETA: wow. actually sent it. now just got to wait for the fallout (or lack of)

get better. please?

Love always
me.

i could have written this myself. my grandfather has been in and out of the hospital for a couple of months now, and last night there was a scare where he was having some terrible abdominal pain and they were going to take him back there again...fortunately the pain went away after he took some painkillers they gave him and he's feeling okay now. still, they're making appointments for biopsies and things...and it sucks.

so Limer, i'm right there with you. quick and complete recoveries to both our grandfathers.

*hug*

dear pneumonia

YOU KEEP THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM, OK? YOU HEAR ME?

"love" (for which read FUCK OFF) from me.

i'm really sorry you're going through similar stuff. i understand so well how it feels and i wish we didn't have to have this stuff happen in life.

*hugs for grandpas* I miss both of mine, lots.

*vibes for grandfathers*

Mine too.

My grandma is stable right now, but she seems so frail and fragile.

*vibes for all grandparents*

Dear Body,

WTF?

Dear sperm donor:

Realize that you are giving up any chance to be part of this child's life. We don't need someone who will only contact us when they want to. Last time we heard anything from you was a short message on myspace back on the 17th. Nada since. I actually got curious about you today and checked your myspace site. That's not stalking. As far as I knew you were laying in a ditch somewhere. But after seeing you logged in at some point today, now I just don't care. Don't contact us. I won't cry. But don't expect me to forward my new address when we move in a couple months...

Dear Batwoman...

My father pulled the same bullshit when my parents were getting divorced. I can understand your frustration and anger and your child's confusion over why dad doesn't seem to want to be around them. If you need anyone to vent to, or want some advice from the perspective of a child of a dead-beat dad, feel free to PM me.

*hugs for Batwoman and Batling*

Al

oh dear - I now have an odd image of a tiny little bat in Batty's tummy. And I'm always gonna think of he/she as "Batling"

(update: grandad is in a fit state to complain that they're not feeding him... *rolls eyes* typical.

prognosis still isn't good, but that's a better sign)

Dear Fuckwits,

I work with die-hard conservatives. Does that make me a conservative? I have performed in a theatrical production by Bertolt Brecht, who was challenged by the House of Un-American Activities. Does that make me a communist? I attend a church that welcomes people of all faiths, some of whom are Muslim. Does that mean I hate Israel? I belong to a message board that prides itself on the diversity of its members and the open-mindedness of hearing different points of view on controversial subjects. Many of these people are from European countries that have socialism incorporated into their democratic governments. I envy their easy access to health care, their relatively low crime rates, and their successful education systems. Does that mean I am anti-American?

The constant attacks and equivocations on the people a person associates with MUST STOP. The hysteria that the GOP has fired up is spreading, and exposing a terrifying underbelly of an American mind-set that might just explain why our country is falling behind and our economy is collapsing. The stringent clinging to right-wing ideals, and the fear of appearing unpatriotic (either by associating with non-right-wing people, or by making statements that question or diverge from such ideals), has caused our country to narrow its path to a point where only certain people are SUPPOSED to succeed.

So, please, for the sake of our country's future, OPEN YOUR FUCKING MINDS. Afraid of Muslims? Make a Muslim friend! Think Socialism=Communism? Talk to someone from Sweden! Think gays shouldn't marry? Have dinner with that gay couple down the street! Please...live up to what we claim is wonderful about our country.

Sorry. Deleted. I was implying racism on the right, not in your post. I should think a lot more before I post.

Dear Body.

Seriously.

WTF???

Hopefully the doc will provide some answers, because you are not being very cooperative.
