on happiness. mostly.

[hexappeal]

So. I'm digging my own grave. The more I try to climb out of this hole, the deeper I fall into it. I really can't handle another emotionally handicapped idiot for a significant other and let's face it, puppeteer of mine! James? Pretty much the very definition of that. I'm not always the most mature person, but it took magic to make him honest.

Twice.

Let me remind you that both times I had to initiate the conversations. I know that a place where I don't belong and can't even remember when I'm not there isn't ideal to start a relationship, but it's been nearly two years and I'm about to hit the big four-oh. I have to start thinking about my happiness, since you're obviously taking your sweet time with it.

Speaking of my happiness, you could probably stand to try a little harder to find a medium-sized game that allows AUs. Lazily posting to that one place at the last minute isn't exactly putting an effort forth, lazy bones.

There's nothing wrong with being forty and single, Zee.

[hexappeal]

No, but I think I'm ready to stop running away from my problems.

Let's just get married and call it a day.

[viced]

Uh, I don't think getting married would solve any problems.

[hexappeal]

Or maybe it would solve all of our problems?

[motherfucked]

What this guy said.

[viced]

Oh hey.

Haven't seen you in a while.

[motherfucked]

Well, you know. Not so much with the icon space.

[hexappeal]

I know, I know.

[motherfucked]

I know it's shit sometimes.

[seeress]

Then you should find someone else.

[hexappeal]

It's not that simple!

[seeress]

But is it really as complicated as you make it?

[hexappeal]

If you have a solution, share it with the rest of the class.

[glowsferatu]

I imagine, then, that it doesn't get simpler with age, as has often been supposed?

[hexappeal]

It can, if you allow it to.

I just have a problem with falling for completely incompatible jerks. If you don't do that, you're in the clear.

[glowsferatu]

...That bodes ill, given my history. Though if the current infatuation is so clear an improvement on the last, perhaps the next will be even more so.

[hexappeal]

Your acknowledging that you don't always fall for the right sort. I'd say that's the first step. I tend to delude myself.

[starmanchild]

Significant others in any form sounds like a luxury.

[hexappeal]

It can be, yeah. Less so when they all die or disappear, however.

[starmanchild]

Is that a constant for you?

[hexappeal]

Yep. [Her life is so hard, why doesn't anyone understand? :')]

[hypersonic]

Forty isn't so bad. Forty's the new twenty-five, or so I'm told.

[hexappeal]

Don't you start with me.

[hypersonic]

Have you considered online dating?

[hexappeal]

Why is everyone focusing on that part and not the one where I'm going to end up strangling James Bond?

(By which I mean, "when did you stop being cute and charming?")
