Laptops are for blogging while lying in bed
Pay close attention to 100dates for the adventures of someone you might know with someone else you might know! (I've met her IRL and since I'm off the market, I'm hoping to have some vicarious fun.) And help Sarah out if you can, she's friendly. (And now, I find myself curious as to whether someone else will decide that this is a good idea and give it a try.)
Damn it's nice being off the market for 9 months, with no end to that in sight. Many thanks to halloranelder for casting us as husband and wife in that game way back whenever it was - the vulnerability I felt in that role was matched only by the safety and confidence I felt when I realised that I could trust my partner completely. Having that experience repeat itself IRL has been terrifying and wonderful, but I'm getting used to feeling safe, accepting support, and being happy. I'm still profoundly mistrustful of 'happily ever after', but 'happily for a very long time' is looking achievable.
Susan Blackmore has some interesting things to say about religion. And certainly, my experience supports these findings - I've returned to my spirituality in the last couple of weeks, although the way I derive support from religion is not about 'faith in a god', which may or may not undermine some of what's being said. (The thing I have faith in, more than anything else, is uncertainty. Deriving comfort from such a faith takes some interesting mental gymnastics.)
