and that she is regulated to second place in Idina’s life Relegated, you mean?
Now that I'm done with the nits: Wow. That just smashed the nail right on the head. :-(
Move to Canada. Everyone can get married here (provided they're over 18 and human, I confess). Boo on Harper for trying to change that.
There's a neat bit of post-freudian theory that says women don't so much have 'penis envy' as 'phallus envy' -- meaning that it's not the physical anatomical bit that we want, it's the power that comes from having one. :-)
Relegated, you mean? Ah yes, yes I do - thanks for that - stupid proof reading deficient brain.
There's a neat bit of post-freudian theory that says women don't so much have 'penis envy' as 'phallus envy' -- meaning that it's not the physical anatomical bit that we want, it's the power that comes from having one. :-) Yes there is but post Freudian theory wasn't in Gabbard (well not in this sense) and didn't give me any sort of crisis - it was all the classical developmental theories that caused me to be questioning the nature of human existence and the nature of relationships - it was not a nice weekend at all - especially since I came out of it thinking that perhaps Freud wasn't just the perverted imbecile that I'd always taken him for and may have actually contributed things of value. I so better have passed this bloody exam cause it's messing with my mind.
well written, and I am not into short fics because usually they feel forced and as soon as I get into them they are over, but this one was very balanced.
I don't mind reading drabbles but they are very unnatural for me to write - I like to take tangential approaches to the prompts and I get excited by an idea and start writing them and forget that it takes me forever to write a drabble cause I rarely write a sentence that is less than 100 words, let alone a fic, and I have to spend more time culling than I do writing.
But at least my existential crisis has faded and I am nearly back to normal (everyone should be grateful that I didn't write this the weekend that I read Gabbard and had my little meltdown)
hee, I'm glad Kristin was generous enough to suffer with you. I hope she helped with your crisis! this is a really biting (and rather heartbreaking) drabble.
I love your icon!!!!! I hope she helped with your crisis! Well Kristin does help make everything better :) I am still suffering from the shock of learning that I while I may not subscribe to ego theory I am not completely anti-Sigmund (as I had always thought I was, still not down with the fact that he studied his daughter, come to think of it still not down with many things that I did or thought) and that I don't agree with object relations theory as much as I thought I did - it was a most traumatic weekend (there is a reason that I don't study) and I still have several weeks to find out if I passed the bastard exam of not :(
