left with an aftertaste

[phoenixj]

It's best not to read it. It's best to skip past the words and look forward without looking back or taking a glance at now. If I look I see, and right now I really don't like what I see. I'd like to make myself blind. I'd like to make myself unfeeling. I'd like to make myself forget and I'd really like to make myself forgive

It's possible I could have written this same exact update not so long ago, for the same reasons, I assume, with different parties involved. Aftertaste is an appropriate word.

[phoenixj]

It's certainly not a very pleasant aftertaste, is it? I think you and me could benefit from dinner sometime.

[ex_gwyneth319]

Very unpleasant, and I think we could as well. I'm in New York for the weekend to do some promotion, then back to London. Where does today find you?

[phoenixj]

LA but I can make a side trip to New York.

[ex_gwyneth319]

I'd try my best to make it worth the trip.

[phoenixj]

I know you will.

[ex_gwyneth319]

Will that be enough for the few hours of travel and discomfort?

[phoenixj]

Do you have to ask?

[ex_gwyneth319]

I'd hate to think you went to all the trouble and I let you down. That's a lot of pressure for a young girl such as myself.

[phoenixj]

Expectations breed disappoint so I don't expect anything. I live for the unexpected.

[ex_gwyneth319]

We live by the same laws, then.

[phoenixj]

I think that's somewhat comforting.

[ex_gwyneth319]

I think it's quite comforting.

[phoenixj]

Maybe we'll sleep a little more easily tonight. I mean. Maybe I'll get five minutes of sleep.

[ex_gwyneth319]

Try and get some rest, then get here as fast as you can. I don't want to ask anymore.
