Space

[brian_pa]

I will go respond to some people in the other place (what else have I got to do? while Justin and I give each other "space"). But first I am making this new place, since the previous one will go into that despised outline format any minute.

Why can't the fucking journal just expand as needed? Makes me crazy.

Crazier.

Good luck with Peter's interview. Don't over-coach him or he'll just become stressed out and overly nervous and then the interview will fall flat.

Definitely dress both Peter AND Justin. It could only help.

I'd rather UNdress Justin. Besides, he wouldn't appreciate anyone giving me permission to pick out his clothing.

We've been pretty low-key with our interview advice for Peter. But really, it's important for him to come across as being himself (just a slightly more ambitious version of himself), so I think he'll do all right.

protective and caring is so underrated

I almost never comment but...just have to say that you were so take-charge and protective re that doctor thing for Justin it was (and I know you will be loathe to admit this ever) truly an example of love.
Yes, yes, sentimentality etc is verboten.
But, it was, you know.
Understated, as ever but no less powerful for that. We all need someone to take charge and take care of things every once in a while - how nice for J to get a reminder, not that he needs it.

Justin needed something, and since I know how to make things happen, I stepped in, in this instance. Frankly I'm surprised he didn't fight me on it, but that just proves he really did need some help.

I don't know what you said to Justin's doctor but I'm glad you said it...and that he encouraged your help. Doctor's just don't get it, unless you really push.

[brian_pa]

Pushing is my specialty.

about Justin - Thanks!

Surprisingly, Justin did not complain about me stepping in. Which just proves that he needed someone to nudge his doctor's office.

Oh I love it when you "take command". Justin is SO lucky to have you (and yes he knows it). My little heart swelled when I read how you got him the appointment AND the prescription so quickly!

Good luck with the interview, I think you have this one tied up though - can anyone ever refuse you when you REALLY want something? You can be persuasive in oh so many ways. Ahhhhhhhhh Brian:):):)

It's true that I am hard to resist.
