Okay. I went and cried for a bit, got more upset over other things that aren't directly related to the situation at hand. Had the urge to come out here and shake her until she talked to me. Had some hot chocolate, played with the rats, gave Waffle some treats. Harper groomed me and Quidgy romped around. Binary slept in his hammock like the lazy nude beast he is. Had a pizza roll...thing. Put some clothes in the wash, put dishes in the dishwasher (whcih I need to run), picked up some of the clutter in the living room.

And now, instead of venting and whining and bitching and wangsting and being a huge emotard, here's some quotes:

"In the end everything will be ok. If its not ok, its not the end."

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway."
- Mother Teresa.
(I really like this quote, aside from the God part. But what can you do?)

It's astonishing how much trouble one can get oneself into, if one works at it. And astonishing how much trouble one can get oneself out of, if one simply assumes that everything will, somehow or other, work out for the best.
- Destruction, in SANDMAN #72, part three of "The Wake"

Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
- Rose Walker, in The Sandman: The Kindly Ones
(Probably one of my favorite Sandman quotes. And I have a lot of them.)

"But if you wanna leave, you can. I'll remember you though, just like I remember everyone that leaves."
- Lilo, "Lilo & Stitch"

Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life, and when it comes, hold your head high, look it squarely in the eye and say, 'I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.'
- Ann Landers

I've come to the conclusion that there are some things I can't change. There's things that everyone is incapable of changing about themselves. You get the good with the bad with me. I like to think that the 'good' outweighs the 'bad'. Considering my 'bad' consists of just small, stupid things. I bend over backwards for the people I love. I do whatever's in my power to make them happy. If it's not enough, well, that's all I can do.
