Okay, apparently I'm just an idiot, but what does it mean when somone says they are having "come to Jesus" talks with their boyfriend? I *think* it means they are trying to save the relationship, but this would be a dangerous time to make an assumption based on vague language.

As an afterthought, I don't get how all those 70s, feminist lesbians managed to do the "let's be friends" things with their ex-girlfriends. I find it incredibly disconcerting to listen to *my* ex-girlfriend talk about *her* (ex?) boyfriend.

Ouch. Harry doesn't pull any punches. I knew there was a reason I liked that man. It may be an "unfortunate...characterization," but the basic message is the right one: quit sleeping with the enemy.

In other, completely unrelated news, Yay, yay, yay!

Things that will amuse only me:

I'm wearing the shirt I wore when we went out with Fran for the first time in New Orleans.

I didn't cut my hand open on my skate blade this morning.

Just because I'm congested, it doesn't mean I have a cold.

Although I blithely wandered into poison ivy on August 30, I still wake up every night furiously itching the contact spots.
