Also, I've been putting off doing this, but I probably ought to just do it. A week ago Kuni put up a brief post intended to communicate simply that we are not currently dating. That was true, and still is, but the way he explained it was, I felt, significantly unfair to me. What is more, in order to ever rectify the impression it would give to all of our mutual friends, I would need to divulge a great many details about our personal lives that I really didn't particularly want to publish on the web, nor did I much like the idea of having 50 private interviews so that all the people whose opinions I respect would have a more complete understanding of what happened. When I saw his post, I immediately approached him about it (technically, IMed him) and explained the impression it would give and why I felt it was unfair (only in somewhat more impassioned language, I'll admit). He immediately apologized and offered to take it down (and did). I think this was very sweet and generous of him--unsurprising, really, given he's a very sweet and generous guy.
For those who saw the post: it may be difficult to imagine how, but try to believe that it is possible for the truth to be far more complicated than was presented. I was so gobsmacked when I saw the post that I actually burst into tears to think that that would be the version passing into circulation. Kuni has admitted that there was some "spin" let into the account, but I'm not actually mad at him for posting it, because he really didn't realize how it would come off, and that capacity for social dumbness is part of what we all love about him.
So. If you hate me now and don't care what I have to say, then there's nothing I can do about that. If you'd like one of those private interviews because the whole thing sort of boggles you or you're wondering what I could possibly have to say, I can probably do my best, although I reserve the right to decide not to share and to live with the consequences of whatever strained relationship I have with you.
Now hopefully I won't look at this tomorrow, realize it's horribly unjust to Kuni and have to take it down. That'd just be sad :).
