whistling past graveyards

[Filtered to friends]

You know, it's not every day in this job that the bad guys are ordinary people.

It's happened before, of course. What we thought was something malicious and powerful turned out to be petty and small. But still evil. Make no mistake about that.

This . . . I can't say it was evil. More that it was desperate--the same kind of desperation that drives people into a frenzy to feel.

When I want to feel alive, I run. I swim. I cook. I visit family. I talk to friends. If I'm very lucky, I make love.

I can't imagine a life so empty that the only thing that gives it purpose is to risk death.

Ah, but you have a partner, nonetheless? Then you never know, not really. Believe me, only the most bizarre of circumstances could've pull Will's mother and I in the position we were in and lead to his birth, and yet here he is.

Not that you should want kids, necessarily. Only pointing out that sometimes they just...happen. And not in the broken condom sort of way.

Yes, I do have a partner, but as I said, he's a bloke. And I'm a bloke. And neither of us have the kind of sedate lifestyle that would persuade an adoption agency to give us a child.

'course not. I don't know, that isn't really what I meant, I just -- well, I don't know what I meant. Forget it.

I don't either, so all right.

[need-to-believe.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Today's shaping up to be one of the bad ones.

The bad ones?

Sometimes the memories just get a little overwhelming, that's all.

I think that concludes my emo hour for today. I apologize.

It's not trouble, I just don't understand at all.

[need-to-believe.livejournal.com]

I get that a lot. No problem.
