Thirty-five. A tongue shriller than all the music.

Mar 15, 2005 20:21

It's the Ides of March, a day that may hold no significance unless you like your Shakespeare or your history; a day that's supposed to be fraught with bad luck, after Caesar's end at the hands of Brutus. Other people aren't superstitious; personally, I always have been. I'm superstitious without even great belief in something much more than that, ( Read more... )

I'm superstitious too, always watching my back or trying to read into signs. So this really spoke to me.

You're all the better for moving on like you are, I'm really proud of you.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 16:17:53 UTC

I wish I had the same confidence that this is better. I'm beset by guilt and...lots of other negative emotions. I'm glad it spoke to you, though, and I hope I don't seem too callous, I suppose?

melissa_george March 16 2005, 17:53:29 UTC

You shouldn't feel guilty, you're trying to do what's best for you. You never seem callous, darling. <3

I always worry. The price of putting on a tougher shell is that you lose some sensitivity sometimes. I don't want to get that jaded and hardened to things.

If you need anything, sweetheart, just say the word.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 16:19:15 UTC

I think I most of all need another change of venue soon, and...possibly a pint of Ben and Jerry's. Are you back in New York yet, Dagmara?

naomiwatts March 16 2005, 03:56:16 UTC

I know anyone can offer an ear, but I thought I'd join the masses on this one.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 16:20:47 UTC

I'll take you up on it, just say the word if and when I can catch you in New York - or LA again, depending on timing. I'll make sure our paths intersect, for certain.

naomiwatts March 16 2005, 17:45:20 UTC

After our last endeavour, I can guarantee that I'm going to be bothering you again in the future.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 18:24:54 UTC

Excellent. They do say that when you sing karaoke with someone, they get the right to call on you for life...or something.

I'm suddenly struck by the need for much more appropriate icons, since none of the ones I've available to choose from seem appropriate. But I'm proud of you for grabbing the board and trying to ride the wave rather than letting it swamp you under, even if it's scary and unsure. And to add to the chorus: you need an ear, or just want to be distracted by listening to Lily babble at the receiver? Then I'm here.

I'm glad you're warming up.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 18:26:32 UTC

Hmmm, paid-account-for-Greg. Hmmmmm. Actually, I'm going to need one for myself, I've gotten way too used to having all these icons. It's addictive once you start down that path.

Which is a neat way of avoiding the topic at hand. I'll call, I want to talk to you and Lily both.

g_kinnear March 16 2005, 19:05:40 UTC

Some addictions aren't that bad to have, though. And avoidance, not always bad either in doses. Call whenever you've got the time.

barrymore_drew March 16 2005, 18:20:19 UTC

Deciding not to choose, as Mom used to say, is still a choice

I have to remind myself of that all the time.

I feel so lost and out of touch with your life right now. I wish there was something I could do or say to help.

menaasuvari March 16 2005, 18:27:55 UTC

Up until last night, I think I was lost and out of touch with my life. The contact does help, Drew; you've helped a lot, but I definitely want to catch up when we're both in the same place, or maybe I'll give a phone call. I feel a lot less like I want isolation now than I did two days ago.
