A Little Update

I’ve been pretty silent the few weeks because there just hasn’t been all that much to talk about. The new job is panning out nicely, and the folks I work with (when I’m in the office, twice a week) are very easygoing and laid back. We’re doing children’s books, after all. (And before you go off calling me names because of the Albert thread in the past few weeks, rest assured that my work there is irreproachably pure and chaste.) And my colleagues are fairly conservative (they’re also on average a good ten years older than I am). It’s nice to be working in a totally non-sexual atmosphere…

Here’s what’s going on with the various people in my life:

  • Jennifer (and Jed): no news from either one since their rut scene in my apartment. Guess they’re screwing each other’s brains out…
  • Morgan: total silence. Even late at night at her apartment, there are no lights or any signs of life.
  • Zuri: she sent me a postcard recently. She’s working on some kind of coffee farm in Columbia. Yes, regular coffee. Not drugs.
  • Brooke: she’s living with Mandy and dating Roseanne. Mandy is still single and finding it hard to listen to all this hot lesbian sex coming from Brooke’s room.
  • Officer Frank: no news from anyone about the hobo who owns the Funcam.
  • Attitude: she says that Countess Ylang-Ylang’s investigation (if one can call it that) has not yielded any results yet. Soon, she says. Right.

And for those of you who are betting that I’m going to end up in bed with Fredrika (the sketch artist) — come on! Stop fueling Attitude’s mischief. I don’t need yet another dramatic sex monster in my life. (Not that Fredrika is a sex monster, or that I have ANY clue what she is, really…) Yes, she did the sketch of the hobo, and yes, I took her to lunch to thank her, and YES, we went to see “The Black Swan” movie together, but this has NOTHING to do anything. I threw her phone number in the trash and I have no intentions of getting in touch with her again. So there.

Sheesh…

  1. *shakes head* Sheesh man. You’re starting to turn into a social hermit. Not that I can really blame you, what with the way your love life has been turning out lately, but it’s not healthy. Don’t start automatically turning away from people who might be good for you just because you’ve got a faerie or two mucking up your life. Sure, take it slow and easy and watch for signs of trouble brewing, but don’t shut people out just because you’ve been burnt before. If you like Frederika at least be open to the possibility of being friends with her. You already have some pretty good indications of the worst that could happen, but it could also turn out to be something good for you too.

    On a related note, ever considered trying to make Attitude your ally rather than your tormentor? She does seem to like you, in her own warped way. Maybe if you did a little more to see eye to eye with her she might take a more sympathetic role toward you and help you control the chaos in your life rather than bringing more into it.

  2. lunaroki has a point man, you are turning into a bit of a social hermit (take it from a person with Asperger’s, trust me). i mean, yeah you got possibly two fairies in your life (or more, but that would just make things go even MORE crazy!) and you have friends that you don’t hear much from anymore. but at least you have a job with normal people still.

    of course, I agree with lunaroki on making attitude your ally rather than devilish fiend. heck, she went out on a limb to talk to the countess for ya and is telling you if any updates come up for it. That is the mark of a friend there .of course, this is a friend that plays sexually charged jokes on you, so there is that. Still, at least she was willing to open up to Mandy too… maybe you could talk to Mandy about getting something for attitude as a gift. they say the best way to make friends is to give away free stuff!

    However, might I just quote star wars for a moment and say that “I got a baaad feeling about this” regarding the children’s books stuff? with all of the sexually charged stuff going on around you these days, what with rogue faries, nymphomanical stalkers and snap-happy hobos, it just seems a bit TOO nice. its like finding a place to perform surgery in a meat-packing factory. I’m just saying man, SOMETHING about this makes me nervous.

    and that’s my two cents… best of luck with everything though!

  3. Good to hear in on the updates man. Keep us updated on them and yes, good luck with all the new stuff going on in your life. 🙂
