Procrastination

A little unusual...

I don't typically use this blog to post messages to people. Rarely if ever, in fact. Right now, I'm going to. To you whom it's directed, you know who you are, and I ask nothing more than that you follow the link and read what it says. To everyone else, feel free to read or not.

First, no, I haven't forgotten you.

Second, no, I don't hate you.

Third, yes, I still worry about you.

Fourth, you may agree and be scared to do anything for a variety of reasons, or you may disagree, but... http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm There's a "wheel" partway down, and one half of it applies, which is frightening: Guilt & Coercion; Intimidation & Threats; Isolation; and Minimizing, Denying, & Blaming. And you know I'll never say it again if you ask me not to; but he's done exactly nothing to change my mind over these fears.

Any time you want or need to speak to me, nothing has changed. You may not see the comments in what you said that terrify me, but at least one sentence in there sent a shiver down my spine. Be safe.

I Luv Burn Notice...

Okay, this is one of my new favorite quotes ever: "If something looks too good to be true, it's best to shoot it just in case."

Awesome.

An interesting insight.

So last night, someone I knew from way back - my family is friends with hers, she was friends with my sister, our parents still get together a couple times a year... - posted something on Facebook that ended up on my front page when I got home and looked. I hadn't talked with her in years, so I threw her a "Hey, we haven't talked in forever. How are you doing?" We've chatted a little today, and she asked a question that I actually found really interesting.

She asked why I didn't invite her to my wedding.

And no, it actually isn't as ominous to me as it may sound. I thought about it, and answered her, and the answer actually ended up being that in my mind, I was still - even now, 9 years or whatever after the wedding - "Sarah's Little Brother" to her and not "Robin", and because of it, she wouldn't have been interested. No good reason for it - she's never told me that or anything. Just my own, quiet, subconscious assumption in my head.

So... Thank you. It's an insight into myself I'd never had before, and I appreciate your bringing it to my attention. :)

Hmmm

Just had a phone call I really need to think about. This isn't a good time to think about it though. *sighs*
