Yeah....okay.

So, it appears that Isa is home. When asked about how Italy went, all she would say was "I am tired, and I am loved."

And then she started IMing *HUG!* to me for about 2 minutes straight.

Having made my resolution to not get yanked around by her like this, I proceeded to gently give her the news that I'd met someone, (ie: skarlette, who is far more to me than just "someone", but I'm trying to be nice to Isa, for the moment.) I told her things were going very, very well, and that I figured I should tell her before someone else blurted it out to her. (Unlike how she went behind my back while stringing me along....in hindsight, I put up with far too much abuse.)

"Isa: So you have things in common. Congrats. I hope it works out for you."

I could -hear- the temprature of the conversation drop several degrees, and perhaps teeth grinding.

I'm kinda filled with shadenfreude at the moment. I know it's not entirely good for me, but I am.

All the boxes, save packing the computer and the game machines, are done. Oh, and the stuff in the dresser. But my grandparents needed to do something before coming around, so I wait on those, for I have earned it.

Take two since the first didn't come out quite like I wanted it to:

Feel free to drag Aries / Spiral over for a chat if you need it. I can @mail you our number if you want to dial-up and chat sometime too.

And when does the Ohio contingent get to meet skarlette? :)

Ahh, I'm doing okay, but thank you. :D

And...well...we're taking it slow and carefully. But at some point, I'll be very happy to show her the people who keep me company in the asylum. ;D

Tough shit for her. Sucks when the shoe's on the other foot, doesn't it, girly?

You did the right thing, not only by bringing it up first (it'd have been bad if she'd heard via hearsay, IMHO) but by making it clear that this was important to you, and you weren't particularly interested in her clingy attentions. This girl is just fucking you around repeatedly for her own ego trip - 'ooh look, I've got this guy drooling for me again, but I don't really want to do anything with him besides flatter myself with my abilities to flirt'.

Hiss. I hate women like that.

If she's a good friend of yours, you need to remind her that's what you are - JUST. FRIENDS. And if she doesn't like it, tell her to pike off. You don't need someone like that ruining your life. Have the strength of character to stick with what truly could be something beautiful and lasting, over something that will be short and bittersweet at best.

And indeed, the Canadian contingent demands the presence of the Lady Skarlette too, dammit. :D

I make no promises, nor would I wish to dictate to her...but I would like her to meet people. :D Just as I will happily be taken to meet anyone -she- wishes to have me see.
