Oh, sure, why not?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

a) You're very nice and someone close to my own age and frankly, I don't have too many female friends that fit that description.
b) Amazing shoes
c) You have a gorgeous smile.
d) Well, it's only on-line but you are always posting links for shoes and clothing and jewelry that I just have to check out.
e) Are you happy doing...what you do?
f)

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

a) Aw, that's sad!
c) Oh, thank you! I don't get smile compliments very often! Most people tell me they like my hair.
e) I am, for the most part. I mean, I have bad nights, I know everyone does, but at the end of the day, I'll be able to say that I fought the good fight.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

A situation of my own making, really.

You're welcome. And your hair is lovely, but I know what an unpleasant battle long, thick curly hair can be.

That's good to know, I like to believe people should follow a vocation only if it satisfies them, not simply out of blind duty.

Hit me.

a) I suppose because we have some common ground and you're a local which means we can actually spend time together.
b) Kittens, good wine and a sense of humor
c) You are a gracious hostess
d) Lunch last week?
e) Do you think you will ever stop wanting their approval?

I've been less concerned with it lately than I have since I walked away, so maybe... someday.

I'll be envious if you do.

I don't know if I ever will, but I've been living for them for the last 8 years, thinking if I proved myself, they'd see they were wrong about me, but... it made me miserable. It's just another way of letting them control me. And I'm never going there again if I can help it. So I don't know if I'll ever stop wanting it, but I know I have to try.

I don't even necessarily want to prove them wrong, I'd like some acknowledgment that I exist and am more than a blemish to be covered up.

If yours are anything like mine, it'll never happen. But there comes a time when you have to stop letting the way they say you define the way you see yourself. It's just another way that they control you.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

a) You are an interesting local and we have a friend in common in Cait MacEibhir.
b) Bagels, Books, That annoying boy who likes my boyfriend's band
c) You're colorful.
d) Before we ever met, I'm pretty sure I've seen you at the library. It's been a while but I remember thinking it's nice to see someone else with red curly hair that's all natural.
e) What part of the city to you call home?

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

a) An 'interesting local'? I feel like I should be on a pamphlet. "And while in New York City, be sure to visit interesting locals like Zippy Levine...." *grins*

b) ...wait, you mean Peter? *laughs*

d) Really? Ha, that's kinda great. *says nothing on the subject of 'all-natural'*

e) Lower East Side. Not too far from NYU, actually.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

A. I really didn't mean for it to sound that way, I just mean that you are also a New Yorker and you are interesting. I like reading what you have to say.

B. Yes, Peter. He thinks my boyfriend is "perfect". I'm sure he's lovely, but really. My boyfriend.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

A. *chuckles* I'm giving you a hard time. Thanks, though, I guess.

B. *laughs* Peter's a nice kid, really. Everybody's got some silly obsession or another. And I hate to say it, but you might have to get used to it. Peter O'Toole's wife would probably want to smack me for some of the things I've thought or said about him.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

B. I know he's nice, if he wasn't, Ro would consider him a friend of sorts. I try not to think about having to get used to the fact that I am dating someone who may very well end up with a fan base larger than the population of my current zip code. I'm proud of him, of course, but he's my Ro and not whatever these people imagine him to be.

Peter O'Toole was very handsome in his heyday.

Comment.

[a-chaitlin.livejournal.com]

We need to set up a shopping date or some kind of day out. How's that for a comment?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

a) Because I've known you longer than I've had this journal?
b) Ro, that appalling birthday cake you and Dr. Lockhart created, teaching your brother how to work with molten glass.
c) You have been very kind to, and patient with, me.
d) Seeing you at Last Call the first time and asking Kreske who you were...I thought you were Ro's girlfriend.
e) Why New York?
f) http://p-userpic.livejournal.com/72282789/14995109

Did Ro put you up to this? You don't have to spend time with me, Cait, it's fine.

[a-chaitlin.livejournal.com]

b) *laughs*
c) You're a friend, Pippa. That's what friends do with friends, isn't it?
e) New York started off as where the job was, but it soon grew on me. Really, where else could you find such a variety of people and stories?

I'm asking because I enjoy spending time with you, dear heart. Bigger brother's got nothing to do with it.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

c) I suppose.

Alright. You know I have nothing on the horizon to speak of, so really, it's up to you to pick a date.

[a-chaitlin.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Either Friday or Saturday would work for me. Any preference?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Either is fine, Ro won't be around much anyhow, it's the weekend.

[a-chaitlin.livejournal.com]

Very well then, let's make it Saturday. I'll take you out for lunch and we can make a real day of it.
