[sad, rant]

[wispfox]

Why must I lose friendships for things that did not happen? And, because of who I am and how I am, _would_ not happen, even should the friend in question not have been similarly trustworthy? I miss the friendship. I would have been perfectly _happy_ had it continued as the friendship that it was. I had not seriously considered any other possibilities due to lack of availability, regardless of the fears/expectations of said friend's significant other. But apparently having a close friendship with me is threatening for my friends' significant others, sometimes. At least that's not always true, I guess...

Why is it that being who I am seems to be so damn good at magnifying problems in the relationships of those with whom I spend a sufficient amount of time, all too frequently resulting in jealousy and/or the loss of said friendships? Sometimes I hate being a catalyst.

I don't like losing friendships. I never have. I like it even less when the reason is not within the friendship itself. The dislike increases yet more when I run into former friends with relative frequency, due to mutual social activities that I refuse to stop attending. Worse yet when I had a sufficiently strong bond with the former friend that I felt a need to remove the bond.

*sigh* I wish I coped _faster_, dammit!

And that, my friend, is no small feat

Entire civilizations have risen and fallen without once ever, over the course of their whole history, both in times high and low, understanding the nature and meaning of my words. Then again, sometimes it is just better not to understand what I'm talking about. More than one noble entity has broken the ship of his mind on the jagged rocks of my peculiar notions. Fairly warned, says I.

That wouldn't have anything to do with, just perhaps, their existence before you were born?

Avast! Rocks ahead, capt'n! They're lookin' mighty peculiar too. 'Ware them rocks!

Before I was born? Before?

Oh... ah, I see. You don't know about the whole how-I-was-forged-two-cycles-before-the-birth-of-time-itself thing about me. Totally understandable. People make that mistake all the time.

Paradoxical. Because nothing could be completed before time began, because it takes time to complete things.

Time and other silly dimensions

Yeah, this was back "before" cause-effect relationships too. It was a hell of a lot easier to get things done back then, because there was no time of which to run out. Of course, nothing happened for any reason, but everything (did/was/will) happen(ing) all at once. We had some wild parties. Goodness, those were the non-days!

That's it... now you've done it

Look, I have a rule here, by which I must abide. Let's see... I believe it's rule #241, which is as follows... ahem...

"I shall, under no circumstances, attempt to merge the essence of a llama and a duck. While this might seem like a great plan, it didn't work out so well last time..."

Wait, wait, no... that's not it. Ah, here it is - it was #242.

"I shall automatically befriend anyone who is the first to send me a link about 2 dimensional crabs moving through the midst of single sided objects."

Ipso facto, you are now on my friends list. Silly me; I thought that rule would never come into play.

Duly friended back, although I'm often overly lax about reading others' journals. :)

So what's the rule about a link to Flatland (http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/)?

What an obscure little cartoon. That's great! >:-)

S'okay. Happens to the best of us.

Well, there goes the rest of my day.

*mock stern*

Alright you two, find your own journals to spam! ;)

*amused by the fact that people randomly have long chats in her posts*

Re: That's it... now you've done it

[majes.livejournal.com]

Ooops! Sorry about that. We'll take our random chatter and move right along. *slinks off*

(was being mock stern. Really. I like that my friends list people get to know each other)

Yes, I know

[majes.livejournal.com]

I knew that you were just kidding around. I swear my feelings weren't hurt at all. I just have the allergies right now... that's what all that sniffiness is all about. Yeah. That's it.

*shrugs* You and wolfieboy talked for a while in one of my posts the other day.

Besides, there were Clicky Links! ;P

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

Dude! I said _mock_ stern!

I'm amused/pleased that people on my friends list are all getting to know each other!

Meh!
