On that feeling like a bad person bit I mentioned before [too lazy to link, just scroll back some days], it's justifiiable that I could feel good when friends of mine are going through a crisis,* because their life is theirs and mine is mine, and why should my[/anyone else's] life be brought down because someone else's[/my] life is going through a ( Read more... )

You see, George, you really had a wonderful life. Well, I do, anyway. I have a regular job, however "temporary," that proves to weather recession [...until such a time as I jinx it].

What has come to pass is what I was starting to look forward to happening, anyway, considering the plans dwindled away into nothing but kind of a whim at the back of everyone's minds--or remained that way. It's just that big plans shouldn't be taken so lightly, especially expensive plans that involve herding cats, basically [well, except... wolves ( Read more... )
