Painted Into a Corner
Some days, I swear, you're just happy to go to work to keep your mind off of things.
You do realize who the MCS resident techie is, right? The detective she wants to meet is...Alex. Why don't I just staple my ears to the wall and hire someone to hit me in the face with a ping-pong paddle?
Why am I dealing with this? Look, bear with me a minute here. When I made that joke about love, a few people took it seriously, and I'd like to ask this - have you ever loved someone you couldn't stand? The heart wants what it wants, and it's not always a rational thing.
What if you met someone who knew who you were right away, like you met yourself in somebody else? Say they were a version of you that made another choice about how to deal with the same things you did. Say they never said your way was wrong, never tried to make you change. What if their expectations, every step of the way, didn't exist - they just accepted you.
Now, what if that's the only thing they wanted in return, and you didn't give it?
And finally, more relevantly to right now, what if they come from the same place you did, and nobody else could understand that, unless they were from there, too? What if it's really, really hard to make someone who's not from there get it?
I need more coffee - that and a good way to say, "Hey, Alex, want to go out and have a really lousy time? It'll make staying home with porn and pizza look great!"

Come on, Mikey....the woman thinks cracking into someone's email is the height of sexual tension.
Geekiness is only attracted to another geeker.
Poor thing...sluff off all those petty women and come have a beer with me. I'll make you laugh.
Aw, Mikey, is this explanation for me...I'll quit pestering,...for a while. Meanwhile, I don't think I would want to admit the Demon Queen was me in another body. Reflects poorly.....Snicker..:)

Now that i would love to see:P
Jules: I think there was a line for Mikey also...:)
What if I made a mean sarcastic comment? Can't this time because I know the feeling. :^(
What if all that & you could NEVER be with the person?
Instead of bothering you with her mess, she should take herself down to a computer store and work her...charms on one of the geek squad boys (who would probabbly be too happy to help the demon spawn..oops..I mean the damsel in distress. If she happens to meet Alex, I think Alex will cut her to shreds. It might be interesting to watch, from a distance.
Good Luck, my friend.
In all seriousness, I've loved someone I couldn't stand. It's torture.

I think many of us (myself included) have been there Mike. It's great, it sucks. You know better, but you can't help yourself. The heart wants what it wants, and it's not always a rational thing.
And finally, more relevantly to right now, what if they come from the same place you did, and nobody else could understand that, unless they were from there, too? What if it's really, really hard to make someone who's not from there get it?
Right. Been there too. Had to ask myself - is it really important that they (the new person) get it? Completely get it? I've come to the decision that no, in the end, it really doesn't matter. It was an old script that needed to disappear. The memories remain, hopefully to keep us from repeating past mistakes, but the deeper details don't really need to be a part of the new way of living.
Just my 2 cents.
Mikey, I'm sorry, but I don't think I really understand your point.
I'm not sure if I could cope with 'two of me'. Isn't it the differences that make the difference?
And ..... accepting someone for those differences .... why can you only be accepted by someone who is the same as you?
Maybe I've lost the plot here, so forgive me if I'm way off the mark.
lotsa luv ann xxxxxxx
Alex can take care of her self. She might use KD as blackmail, but she will stick by you. She's good like that.
At least you didn't completely fuck things over like I did...
