Somedays, I wake up and my life is all laid out before me, like an outfit, or a buffet or a drunken whore. This morning, I woke up and my future was laid out in front of me, just like a combination of all of those analogies. The Partners wanted to talk to me ( Read more... )

I don't get why you're making a post like this.

what's there to get? bitter_brother October 18 2006, 14:32:14 UTC

Other than my general enigmaticism, I might have been a little drunk.

Anyway, it's a good thing. When I know more, I'll give you all the deets.

Re: what's there to get? kara_marie October 18 2006, 21:22:00 UTC

About what? And why are you speaking in lame slang?

Re: what's there to get? bitter_brother October 23 2006, 13:52:13 UTC

About what happens next. And I don't know why I said "deets" ... it's possible that I'm having a midlife crisis or something. Am I at midlife yet?

Love the glasses. It works for you, that look.

THat's good, I hope.

Definitely. It's still a little up in the air, but... it's good.

If it involves shrimp, just say no.

Speaking of your work, and nondeadenating and such, I have to ask.

Did you know all along?

bitter_brother October 18 2006, 14:47:02 UTC

You have no right to ask me that. What's more, it's totally absurd that you'd expect an honest answer out of me.

Know what? That you guys wouldn't work out? That a leopard doesn't change his/her spots? That you married up?

Did I know what, champ?

That Cordelia was never dead.

That our child was going to be born somewhere where I could never see her, and where Cordelia can never know where she's buried.

Did you know?

If I'd known that kind of detail about what sounds like a larger operation -- let's call it Operation Punishing Orlando Bloom II: Electric Gayaloo -- I think it's safe to assume that there are forces at work that would prevent me from ever owning up to it. What purpose would my answering your question serve?

Have you considered the possiblity that Cordelia might have been playing dead to get out of your ridiculous marriage and impending parenthood? That maybe it was all an elaborate scheme to let you off the hook so you could go back to your preferred way of life?
