Thanks for keeping company walking all over the place, Paul; you are too kind (and if I were you, I would start bitching). I jest ^ _ ^. But, don't be too pissed off at those guys; I think it just has to do with the fact that you're a dude, and it might have seemed you were alone, and they are social morons. Hehe. Remember, that party comprised of all the arch 150 staff (the architecture version of CE's statics). Anyway, I have nothing left to say about 'hot rod models,' as you like to call them, because I lost all respect for that genre let's say, five years ago. Hahahah!
Well, later today, I had a great catharsis, and it has made me such a happier camper. It's so the worst when there's distrust, especially when that distrust is being hoarded away from the other person out of caution, or "keep the misery to just one of us," or whatnot. I think I'm accepting (and I'm still amazed) at how lucky I've been amidst all this relationship tangle ... holy moly, I am so fucking lucky! My favorite feisty flaneur, looking dapper in framed profile in white wifebeater and newsboy cap!
But, shhhh. Don't tell anyone about this L-word. It's subversive like that. : ] .
