setbacks

[electricland]

The person I want to be is outgoing, considerate, able to do more than one activity (if not at the same time, because that's just crazy, at least in parallel). She's a self-starter who acts instead of just reacting. Also, she calls when she's going to be late (or not show up), instead of freezing in denial.

The person I am is seeming kind of far away from that at the moment. Shit.

(She also doesn't feel so sorry for herself when she occasionally screws up, but that's another story.)

[Edit: And she also doesn't start crying at her desk over one missed commitment and one inconsequential missed fact-check. What the hell is wrong with me today?]

Wanna go for lunch, baby? You sound like you could use a hug.

As I seem to want to start crying AGAIN... yes, please!

Where do you want to meet?

Point me to the Falafel place? I have to wait for my boss to show up but I should be free by one

Oooh, great idea! Haven't been in a while. It's on the south side of Dundas, 1 block east of University. The name is Mediterranean2Go.

Call me when you're close?

I swear I answered this already. WTF?

Dundas, 1 block East of University. South side. Mediterranean2Go.

Call me when you're close? One sounds great.

Actually, why don't we meet at the wolf and firkin (or whatever it's called On Elm just east of Bay at One? I think you might need a wee glass of wine).

[electricland.livejournal.com]

but that sounds great. See you there!

All the best, Robin. The person I know tends to usually be close to the person you want to be. Everyone lapses.
