Run, then scream.

My day:

School. Conversation about movies with Darkside. Chat with Bald Guy until the worst of the tears are over. Come back home, grab quasi-lunch stuff, leave to go check out plasma donation place. Come back home in a bit of a grump because they don't have the staff to give all newbies a physical. On the way home, start re-analyzing the implications of what Darkside said. Write up entry; cry some more. Let Adam read entry, because voice is not trustworthy.

Have a chat with Adam on the topic of the inadvisability of changing oneself to fit the standards that one's beloved would prefer in a mate. Explain to him that while certainly there have been some heavy selfchanges going on, it's because the me that I am around Darkside is my favorite of the people I can be, and I'm working to keep this personality at more times than just with him. The person I am around him is demonstratably not his idealization of the perfect woman. Were I trying to be that woman, I'd be in some serious shit. But I'm not. I'm trying to be myself, the best, sweetest, spunkiest version of myself I can be.

We snuggled after that discussion. Adam remarked that perhaps Darkside was afraid to do anything more than friendship, because I have many of the same personality-tags as Votania.

There was more discussion, gradually leading into the next topic...

I said something about his talking with V, referring to her attitude as "playing 'Respect you, Respect you not'" ...and then the one-ton featherbed hit him.

She's trying to mold him into her ideal man.
