curtain
Operaman and I probably aren’t going to make it through the weekend, something about me wanting a relationship and him wanting a relationship as soon as everything else in life is stable and sorted and certain, which is sure to happen at some point, except not to anyone I have ever met, but tonight, just for fun, we’re going to the opera. Because there really hasn’t been enough You’ve Got To Be Kidding in my world lately. So in a minute I’m disappearing into my civil service washroom with my reusable Powell’s tote and emerging again in a strapless black and gold dress and heels, and we’re going to eat at a place with a French name and then we’re going to the opening night of La Traviata, and then we’ll probably break up. And this weekend I’ll cry a little and drink some and finish the table I’ve been building. This part is getting a little old, this part where the other person decides it’s not worth it, but I can’t say I don’t get off a little on the particular awful way it hurts, and how it’s different every time.

Fuck. I was really hoping you and O were going to figure it out this time around.

It sounds like you missed the debate, so here's a recap: They both got dressed up and looked quite stunning. There were a few laughs but the underlying tension was palpable. Both of them did their best to avoid the hard questions. But when they did address them, they both agreed that there were serious problems with the way things are. It's just that they have fundamental disagreements about the best way to address those problems. Huh. Maybe you didn't miss a thing...
Keep your chin up. You'll probably get even more done in the new house now, though.
