My doctor friend is such an asshole,
Forgive me, but I think, based on your further descriptions of him, he is not a friend.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I gotta agree he's no friend of yours, Steph.
Brenda, that's marvellous. I can't watch it right now, because it's making me cry, but it's marvellous.

Probably not. (although he could be the one purist in the world.)

I just made TCG order another scotch so that I can stay on the internet a bit longer. There is only free internet in the bar and lobby at this hotel. They want 20 pounds a day to give you internet in your room! I'm in withdrawal because I don't have an internet enabled phone with me.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
That is a good point; I mentally categorize him as "friend" because I've known him for over 20 years.
He's an excellent doctor, and was really great with me when I was at the ER, explaining all manner of medical fiddly stuff. I'd want him as my doctor if I were in a genuine medical crisis.
But as a person, I can't say I have anything in common with him any more other than a shared past.

I hate that! Well, it helped me win an argument with Former Pothead Step-brother, but generally? I hate it.

Brenda, that's marvellous. I can't watch it right now, because it's making me cry, but it's marvellous.
Oh good, not just me.

On a shallower note: Oh, as if, OkCupid, where are you finding all these Sheldons?! (One or two being literally asexual, which I don't mean to be mean about, but I do sort of feel that I've had the *not* having sex base covered well for many years while still keeping custody of the remote.) And I get that dating online confesses a certain Sheldon-ocity about my own person, especially at my age. Still, I don't think two Sheldons can date.

brenda,
I liked the video! I was surprised to see how much solid dancing I saw. I am not sure what I expected, but they really got their dance on!
