What's up with me

[misterschmoo]

Getting settled in at Frankleigh street, for those of you that keep asking, no I have not given up on my plan to live in the country, not at all, it is simply that my job which looked to be ending is continuing at least for the forseeability future (recent events notwithstanding) and I felt that as long as my wages continued to come in that I could

*nods* yes that was the promise I made to myself as well - I refuse to compromise myself, to be less of myself than I am for the sake of keeping someone else happy.

If you cannot be loved for the WHOLE of what you are (and thats not a pun BTW) then whats the point?

[misterschmoo]

Yes I wonder sometimes if people see you not as someone who they like but someone who they like enough of that they feel if they could just change all the bits they don't then they'll be happy, this I think is fraught with disappointment.

[thebluerose]

And why is it that *we* are the only ones having to do the changing? Whats with that :(

[smallmercies]

Because. You're the woman and it's your manly duty. Just like schmoo.

No, wait, that doesn't sound right....

Personally, I think schmoo's comment/reply was pretty much spot on for marking out the boundary of the question, but at the same time that's the case with most relationships - I think a good number operate under the "I like it well enough and I can change X, Y, and Z". It's more a matter of what extremes are you (not any particular 'you' mind you (see what I did there?! Ha!)) are dealing with in any given instance that causes that change situation to stand out or not.

What I want to really know though is whether Schmoo's container/office will float when it slides off the wharf during the next earthquake? And what are the odds on it accidentally being loaded onto a ship to Vladivostok?

[thebluerose]

Your icon is both amusing and deeply disturbing LOL

I also wonder what the odds are of him freezing to death in winter with no insulation? Im sure we could cobble together a shipping manifest to Russia if need be, I have a work colleague fluent in Russian......... *VBEG*

It's animated

[smallmercies]

Yes. It is. Get'n down to the beat. Or something.

My office is made of polystyrene with an aluminium skin on both sides and has proper foundations, FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[smallmercies]

So what you're saying is that your office is a giant chillybin that's been glued to the ground?

Whatever will they think of next?

[misterschmoo]

Most prefab buildings are made like that these days, and we have proper wooden posts set in concrete sunk into the ground as foundations.
