"And sacrifice Han and Leia?"

[lumy12]

Unwinding after a busy weekend, mostly spent with A. Good times.

However, it started off with an awkward conversation on Friday. Remember I said I hoped it would be a little while before he told me about the Next Girl in His Life?

So there was this slut girl who made it very clear to him that she wanted to get in his pants, ohhhh, about a year and a half ago. He and I were together then. She also had a boyfriend then, and wanted to dump him but couldn't because he took care of her kid during the day and she couldn't afford daycare. Lovely. (Can you tell I'm already so impressed with this chick?) A. is a nice guy; he told her no way no how, he had a girlfriend, blah blah. But he saw her kinda regularly because she lives in Phoenix (just a few miles away from me, ironically) and worked in the mall he was working in at the time (he and a partner set up a shop just over the holidays most years, always down here in Phoenix even though he lives in Las Vegas).

He told me this a bit sheepishly, but I'm confident he didn't do anything with her. He would have told me. She did get his number though, whether off his business card or because he gave it to her, I didn't ask. He said they would talk every few months last year and she always asked "How's the girlfriend?" right away, obviously to see if we were indeed still together. This would have bothered me had I known at the time - I understand people have opposite-sex friendships while in relationships, but I'd have more tolerance for pre-existing ones; starting a NEW one with a skank is not that cool. But, meh. That doesn't matter now.

So he called this slut girl the last time he was down here, which was just a turnaround day trip, and took place after our Talk of Doom. He couldn't stay a night down here (cuz his mom is sick and all, still) but he decided he'd just be a wee bit late getting home instead - he took the slut girl out to dinner. He said it was quite obvious that if he went anywhere near her place, they'd be getting naked within 30 seconds. He says he likes her a lot, but he doesn't know her that well and hmmm, what do I think?

"You better use a condom!" was my reply. He's been stuck with me for so long, I really do want him to go out and sew whatever wild oats he can. And if there's more to this girl than being a skank, yay, great, they can be Soulmates or whatever. I hope he knows that I honestly do want him to be happy and go on to date other women. And a part of me is relieved that this is happening, because if I had any doubts before that we should break up or that the timing was bad because of his crappy life and such, those are gone. He's interested in this girl, and she's interested in him in a way that I, frankly, was not.

If they hit it off real well, he might not want to stay with me anymore when he comes down here. We talked about that too - he always says he doesn't want to get in my way, I always tell him he's so NOT in my way. We do have fun together. He is still my best friend... even if in some ways I feel closer to my online friends but, ick, that's a whole 'nuther can of worms. He's definitely my best real-life friend. And he says he's so comfortable with the people in my circle (my parents, brother, friends) that he feels confident leaving his Arizona stuff at my house - he wouldn't at hers, not knowing who might get into it.

He didn't call her while he was here, because he really wouldn't have had time to see her anyway, but he asked me if I'd be okay with him calling her next time (which is in 2 weeks). Of course I don't care! As long as he doesn't bring her here and have madhawtsex on my couch - and he would be more embarrassed and uncomfortable with that than I would be, heh.

Am I jealous at all? Yes, a bit. How could I not be? I wish I were normal, I wish things had worked out for us, but they didn't. And most of the time I'm quite happy being my freaky, not-normal self.

I think I'm PMSing. Or maybe I'm just "blah" from not having my usual alone time this weekend. I'll probably be on for RP later when I'm feeling perkier. No promises though!

I hate stupid Girls...

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Maybe she's alright, but from what he's said, I kinda doubt it!

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

*hugs the Wendy* Awww, but wait till you see who's back in town even if he's not going anywhere near the Temple.

Hint: It has absolutely nothing to do with my icon, I swear.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I saw!

And I'm curious about that datapad entry.

WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO KILL MY CHARACTER? GAH!!!

Palpy: My double is far more evil than I am, you know.

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

Quin: *is confused* Why would I want to kill the Chancellor? I think that's treason.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Oh good - he must mean Qui-Gon then. Because Qui is the Sith lord they've all been looking for. *nods*

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

Nope. Read the Mon thread and/or Wookieepedia (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Quinlan_Vos). Also, remember that he's been spending time with NPC!IC!Dooku. Oh, canon, how much fun it is to confuse everybody by occasionally listening to you.

...my inner Quin is leering at OOC!Qui, which means that my inner Obi wants to beat him up.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I read the start of the Mon thread, wherein he mentioned a Senator... *strokes her BREAD thoughtfully*

Is Mace the narrator in the story you posted the other day? That's my guess.

I still want to do a rock plot thing with Padme, maybe tonight? It'll be funny because she'd be the first non-Jedi victim, and no one will know she was in the Temple at the time and stuff. *snicker*

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

Ewww, you're a pervert! ;)

Yeah, he is. *gets out the stickers* You're the first person to get it right on the first try...but most people guess Yoda first, too. Heh.

Haha. Ani could be like "Uh...yeah...she's my...Padawan. *shifty look*"

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Yay! Qui was my first suspicion, but then I figured you would have referred to the Master/Padawan dynamic rather than just refer to the narrator as a "superior." *sticks the stickers all over the place*

[sanestlunatic.livejournal.com]

Actually, I would've left that in even if it was Qui, just to make it harder to guess. :P

[kevthejedi.livejournal.com]

Feeling a bit jealous is normal. *hugs*
You'll be going to dinner with Hayden soon anyway!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I wish! That would make it alllllll better. *sigh*

[karinablack.livejournal.com]

Ugh, no... yikes. Have done this :(
You're not PMS'ing, this is normal. He's moving on with someone less than stellar.
You can't save him from making a huge mistake, or it'll look like you're jealous and still want him.
Yet... she's a skank and terrible and OH MY GOD she's in charge of a CHILD to boot??? Completely unstable and caring for a kid- fantastic.

I do not envy you one ounce :(

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

I do think he's intelligent enough to figure out if she's a total skank or not. If he wants to have his fun, fine. He's not in a good position to have a serious relationship right now anyway, but if that's where this is going... maybe there's more there than meets the eye. *snicker* You're right, though, it's up to him, not me. He wanted my "blessing" in a way and I wasn't about to deny him that. And yeah, she has a 4-year-old son. Poor kid.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is too long to read now, I'm tired. I'll pick up here tomorrow night. I'm still waaaaay behind!!! Might have to do more one word posts!!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Ha! I skipped ahead to this comment to see if you had missed any of the filtered ones -- my bad for not having you added already. You missed the first one, it was on 5/1/06 so just backtrack a little!

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'll have to mark this reply as unread so I remember to look at it later to remind me to go back.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Not going to comment on the 3 year old emotional stuff because, really, I already know that you and A. are still good friends, so obviously there were no resultant hurt feelings out of this.

However, I loved how you kept referring to her as slut girl!!! Very funny.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm still not sure what all happened between he and the slut, but it was off and on for a while. Nothing serious. Aaron kept his distance from her drama, at least. Anyway, she eventually moved out of state, I forget where. He said he doesn't care to keep in contact with her.

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, she was just a convenient toy, apparently.
