OK, change that. I now see it's only one friend who walked off in a huff. The other sauntered away after reading glyphs on the wall in an alphabet she didn't care for.
It seems a minor difference, but it makes me much happier. When two people do the same confounding behavior in a short space of time, I get really frustrated and wonder if there's something wrong with me. So when
terriergirl went on one date with me and then dropped me, I was/am all cool with that.
When HoneyB did the same thing a few months later, that's when I gnashed my teeth and yelled about how horrible I must be towards womyn or something.
I now think they both just looked me over, tested me out intellectually, and decided I wasn't their cup of tea. That's just fine: after a few weeks of reading
terriergirl, I agree with her. We'll make fine friends but we would've been a wretched couple. :)
I still need help coming up with an excellent, creative Erosine for Coyote. Help me, Livejournal! Help me!!!!!!!!
