Transitions

[chanaleh]

Finally talked to Dad last night (after he'd been trying to reach me for several days. He's not recuperating all that well from the hip surgery, so NOW they've started him on physical therapy. I hope it helps).

He asked what was new and what I've been up to, and I told him about breaking up with mattrolls (that is, mrmorse). At which I started to choke up a little bit. So then he hurriedly asked if I was "doing any plays or anything"... to which I answered that I had decided not to try out this fall because I thought it would be better because... and then I really started to choke up.

I think it kinda startled him; he hates to hear me cry. Hell, it startled me. I knew I'd been feeling some sadness earlier in the day (and this week in general), but I didn't expect it to come on like that.

In all fairness, that's not the only reason I decided not to do Ruddigore; I'm not even sure it's the principal reason. But the associations are powerful.

anyone who has the ego to set up their own syndication about their dysfunctional life has more ego than i could ever stand to be around.

hey! that's not fair -- the syndication (which I set up for him, anyway) is of Matt's actual blog about actual ideas. LJ itself is way more egomaniacal an endeavor than that.

it's always rough the first couple of fathers.

Actually, I like this version of the sentence just as well ;-) And thanks.

Er, that is, I set up the syndication portal (I suppose you could call it) on LJ. He's the one who constructs (manually, in his case) the syndication feed. But anyway, anyway.
