Strange things are afoot.
It seems that everyone is coming out of the woodwork. I have no idea why, and probably shouldn't question divine providence (yeah, right) but I have been contacted again by a very old friend that I was very close to but who has the tendancy to dissapear off the face of the earth once in a while
A call out of the blue, a baby crying in the background. Yep, it's J- she called me. She told R- that she thought I was mad at her and that's why she wasn't calling. I don't understand what I say or do to people to make them believe I am angry with them when generally their actions don't particularly move me one way or the other.
I am a firm believer in letting people live their lives the way they want to, without any intervention from me. I am not the queen of 20something problem solvers, and don't want that title anytime soon. Other than my tendancy for finding girls and making them secretaries, I really don't want any control over other people's lives. Even with my secretaries, I tend to let them take the rope and hang themselves once they have their new jobs. I only help out once.
I finally learned after the last one that you shouldn't let the girl live with you when you're helping them get ahead in their career. They do the "Single White Female" thing if you let them live with you. It's fine as long as they're just a friend.
Speaking of friends, it seems that K- is still unwiling to speak with me. J- of G&J put it succintly when she stated that K- had "simmered down to a point of disgruntled indifference" Whatever. She can do what she wants with her life, I was just trying to be a nice person (a good friend having cancer tends to change your outlook on friends and grudges slightly) and she won't even speak with me? I'm okay with that. The fact that K- will not speak with R- ... now them's fighting words. I cannot believe she is so vapid and shallow that she would not speak with her friend because she cannot handle the possiblity of a negative outcome to the situation. What kind of a friend is that, and how come none of us knew sooner? You'd think something so serious would have manifested sooner in our intertwined lives.
Such is life.
In other news, I watched Stigmata again last night, and realized (as I do every time I see it) that it is a fabulous movie. The main character guy is the same guy from that one other movie about that one thing. Hmmm...sometimes I regret (very briefly) taking a hiatus from movies and television for a couple of years. I have no idea who hollywood's "Star Vehicles" are..even the ones from a while ago. I just don't keep track.
M- and I are getting along fabulously, and I find it cute to watch S- watching her when he's over at the house. Do men not realize that the minute they say that she is really "hot" the odds of them ever getting in my bed are really pretty nonexistant? I mean, do they think since it's not my sister it's okay? Boys can be quite stupid sometimes. I assume they think women don't compare and contrast, even within their own social group. They are wrong, women are just more subtle. The minute you make a mistake and say something out loud, it's ruined. You can hint, allude to, flirt, and play as much as you want, but for goodness sake, don't say the words!! Then you can deny it if that's what becomes necessary.
I think the last paragraph may sound a bit callous. Damn shame, that.
I'm looking forward to having lunch this week. I've missed you.
