"What I want to say is this: - If you logically try to persuade a person that there is no absolute reason for shedding tears, the person in question will cease weeping. That's self evident. Why, I should like to know, should such a person continue doing so?"

"If such were the usual course of things, life would be a very easy matter," replied Raskolnikoff.

Messing things up

Yeah. I forgot there was a downside to hedonism: irresponsibility. Po had her book launch today and called me to see if I would come to celebrate with her and I said that I didn't think I would cause I hadn't seen Michael since Thursday and I was hoping to see him today.
Dumb fucking thing to say. I'm pretty sure I can see Michael another time. I'm pretty sure Po doesn't publish books every day.
Called her back (got vm, naturally) and apologized and said I would come down if she wanted. She hasn't called back, surprisingly.
This definitely makes the top ten most retarded things I have ever done list.

I have lost two good friends over men. My friends are still out there, the men are history.
Don't ever put the guy first because they wouldn't do the same thing for you.
But I'm just bitter right now. Well, and the above was true. Kinda sucks cos I loved those friends.
