lovers in love and the other's run away lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay" -- Stay Lisa Loeb
Looks like we are finally done with our E3 demo. Yeah!
Stayed up way too late last night babbling with friends on the net, but otherwise had a reasonably productive, if quiet day, and spent the evening at home doing a few chores left over from being out of town and generally busy the past few weekends. Plenty of things to keep me busy in the evenings the rest of the week between the Poly Third Place dinner, a Living Greyhawk game, going to a play Friday with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ludic_eros and friends, a Seattle Mob gameday Saturday, and a TERRA Witches' Brew on Sunday...
May is not really all that booked up, but I'm going to try to make a few Mensa events this month and the OLOTEAS public ritual, and continue that 'growing my social circle' thing... May is also a cool movie month with The Matrix: Reloaded coming mid-month, andloree and I have our Cinerama tickets already for drooling over Trinity for 2+ hours... Of all of which is good, because I'm getting fairly burned out on the gaming thing in general and would like to get out more this summer.

May. 6th, 2003 10:50 pmme: "So I'm going to go to the party, meet some new people, find the beautiful, stand-offish, intellectual, introverted, emotionally-damaged girl and try really hard *not* to date her..."
ex-wife on other end of phone: Snort.
Was having a conversation withrubylou at the Poly Third Place dinner tonight about how just seductively attractive damaged introverted girls are. They are like candy, and I just can't get enough. Of course, they are also like kryptonite and things just go to hell so damn fast. Apparently she's sworn off them herself, but I find that most of the women in my life I've been attracted to with some real chemistry fall clearly into that category, including most recently Kim and Andrea.
I know I have care-taker tendencies (loree loves to call me a "fixer"), but I don't think I'm really selecting these women because they are emotionally damaged. I like quirky, intellectual women. I like that they have some emotional baggage, otherwise how the hell are they going to understand someone has emotional as I am. It takes a little angst mixed with really living life to make someone interesting and have real experiences to draw from. I didn't think of them as having "issues" with a capitol 'I' when I met them, I just thought they were cool, interesting, and I had a lot in common with them. I want someone similar to myself, and that includes a few battle-scars...
Yet somewhere along the line, I become the focus of why they are unhappy... they give up and for a while they feel better having dumped me after having identified me as the source of their discontent--never mind that they had these feelings long before I came on the scene. Of course, nothing really gets addressed this way and they repeat this pattern (sometimes over and over and over again). It is so frustrating to see how gifted they are as people, how much they have to give and the strength of character I was attracted to in the beginning just doesn't get put to work on solving the issues that weigh them down, or at least not soon enough to save our relationship.
If they ever do address their demons (which I know they have the ability to do if they choose), I won't be in their life to enjoy the fruits of such efforts. I guess I should be happy for the people I love when they do make it past such hurdles. It would just be nice to be able to be there to enjoy the success with them...
