I told you that real relationships can't be built on lust.A seventeen-year-old girl, or around there anyway, weighs in on my relationship when she knows nothing about it save for the fact that it was with a woman. She has no life experience to make these assumptions. She's just weighing in because she feels like she knows everything

I'm sorry, Liz. I haven't exactly been helpful. But that Aggie pissed me off no end, too. Just... everything pissed me off. I'm trying to keep Dad calm, though. I think I'm at least handling that okay.

I know you wouldn't do anything that you thought would have any chance of having bad consequences for any of us. I love you. No one should make you feel like bollocks. This whole situation just sucks. If there's anything I can do for you, anything at all, name it. I'll be there.

[elizabeth_long]

I'm sure you are. Keeping Peter calm is a very good thing. And a full time job, as he does tend to wig. I know this is all because he cares for me. I really do.

Thank you, Tasha.

[empress_tasha]

Well, it's a full-time job I really don't mind doing. He does care, so much. You'll work this out.

You're always welcome, Liz.

[elizabeth_long]

Of course we will. I'll yell and he'll apologise 281647231 times and then we'll hug.

[abigail_lilith]

You're going to tell Peter about that right?

Liz, I'm sorry people feel they can judge you when they don't know you. But the truth is that they can't. You ware an amazing woman. You're incredible. The strength you have is enormous and I respect you so much. You don't deserve any of this.

[elizabeth_long]

Of course I will tell Peter. When I've calmed down and it won't just be loud curse words and nothing helpful. Tomorrow.

Thank you, Abby. I just don't understand things sometimes. When did my private life become a topic for explosion? Augh.

[abigail_lilith]

Yes...that's probably for the best.

Such a good question. Is Zoe alright?

[elizabeth_long]

I suppose Zoe is okay for the moment. Things are okay with us anyway.

I've been watching all this from the sidelines, and I have to say, I'm quite disturbed by it. I don't like to see my friends fighting, not one bit. And I certainly don't appreciate prosthelytising teenagers upsetting you! Your relationship, or otherwise, is nobody else's business, certainly not outside your family. Even then, there are people who would do well to get over themselves.

I'm so sorry things have gone to buggery. But they will get sorted out. Tonight, I think the ticket is simply to rest, and rejuvenate. Everyone is at their wit's end for today. Best to start a little more fresh tomorrow.

[elizabeth_long]

I don't like to see it either. I'm sorry you had to. It's augh. Augh is a good word for it! And yes...I suppose there are those who should get over themselves, but at least the ones related to me had my best interest at heart. I know he would never have anything else at heart.

I think you're right. Rest is good.

[in_spectre_mors]

Well, a number of my friends have seen me behave worse than what we've seen tonight. I shouldn't speak too far out of turn. I just wish the best interests people have in their hearts could be expressed in a nicer, more sensible fashion...

[elizabeth_long]

I still don't actually know how they were expressed.

[seminalsemiotic]

Everybody seems to be losing their temper lately. Including me. I hate this, I wish it would end. Everyone needs to just cool off!

I know your relationships have never been built on lust. I mean, it's not a relationship if lust is all it is, is it? That Aggie doesn't know anything. I feel sorry for her. She doesn't understand love at all.

Blah. No more fighting. I'm totally onboard with that. I, for one, am making an apology tomorrow. That ought to tip the scales a little bit.

[elizabeth_long]

I think there is at least an end in sight.

I feel sorry for the girl as well. But she is not my business.

Tipping the scales is indeed a wonderful thing. Something we need.

[seminalsemiotic]

Goddess, I hope you're right.

Yeah, she's not. I guess things will happen around her in their own good time.

I'll do my best to tip them well *small smile*

[bigmacgavillary]

All this is making my head ache. I'll come see you if you want, Liz?

[elizabeth_long]

Yes, please!
