My new favorite synopsis of my difficulties in relationships, from a friend who dated me for a while: "I don't want to undersell how infuriating you can be, but you should recognize you have your moments." Which is true. I'm maddening in all sorts of directions, but I do bring flowers and chocolate sometimes, or make jewelry or bacon or whatever. I went for a walk and decided to bring her a roasted marshmallow on Saturday night at Chillits right when she wanted one. I don't pretend to understand these things.

Not only will things unfold however they will, but they already are. Neat.
