Ugh Ginger, ugh! Your oncologist needs to be popped. I'm so glad you have Zen there with you. May you have all the salt.

Thank you Zen for being there

Aaannnd Jetta is beautiful, Consuela. Also beautiful is the elegance of your new wifi system msbelle, kudos! We need something like that. Although Isaac is desperately trying to learn how to regulate himself, there's only so much self control a 10 yo boy can handle.

I'm glad Zen is there. Does your oncologist take asshole pills with his coffee, Ginger? I hope the salt intake plan helps.

Sounds like an excellent plan, msbelle! Though sucky that you have to plan like that.

Cheered on marathoners for a couple hours, then met a friend for brunch. (And later the girl from last night texted that she's just looking for friends. Which, ok--but don't then tell me to come dance with you at a different bar??)

Girl is already a pain, meara. Do you have a special radar for the type who likes to send out mixed signals? I swears you remind me of me sometimes. IME the "just looking for a friend" comment usually meant that I wasn't their type, although about 20% of the time or so it turned out it meant I was hella their type for a fling but it would never be any more than that. Which is just enough time to make it feel like it was worth it? Ugh.

Apparently so, Burrell. Serious mixed signals.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

People should just be up front about that sort of thing. Honestly, if someone I was attracted to told me they just wanted a fling, I'd usually shrug and say "works for me." But I give serious side-eye to people who are posting X-rated pictures and position preferences to dating services, want the same from people they contact, and then say they're only looking for friendship.

Ooooo, let's be best buds, I need more flakes who send mixed signals in my life!

Right now, I wouldn't know what I want, so I've stepped back.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Home now. Con was fun, much good music, wi-fi sucked.

Hah, yes. I'm like look, if you're not into me so be it but don't act like you ARE and then suddenly act like you're not...

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Mixed messages are the worst. It's like someone standing there yelling, "PAY ATTENTION TO ME! WHOOP! NOT SO MUCH ATTENTION!" It feels like a low self esteem play. Like you should like me but just not too much.
