Yes. It would be terrible of you to leave.
It would be terrible of Cobe, too.
Life will make us leave whether we want to or not, over time. No sense just walking out from pique.
We once had the best group of friends. It was a magic moment, it seems like in retrospect, one that lasted for a few years. Not very many years. But it was just the right size group, and everyone liked each other, and it was so sacred a chemistry that no one ever even flirted with anyone else's mates (oh, i just thought of one exception; but she just couldn't help herself, it was a sort of reflex) (another friend said of her, "She does her best work in the kitchen," I thought that was so communicative; and she was a great cook, too.) (She and her hubby were "swingers." She and her first husband had been, too. They tried to get us to "swing" with them; no way.) And there was one well-located apartment where we could hang out, and we had a lot of fun and a lot of lively, amusing arguments, and ate a lot of good food, and loved each other. And then N and I went away for a while. And by the time we got back, everything was different. In my mind, I had called that group of friends, during that period, "the magic friendship circle," cornily; and there was no more circle. Some people had moved. Some had new partners, and the chemistry was wrong, or we were just mad at the loss of the first partner. And other things happened.
Waitaminute. Why am I telling you this?
Oh yes. Because this DAR "moment" will end because everything does. So it seems really a not at all a good idea to end the party just because... the landlord annoys you.
Is what I think.
(I haven't only adjusted, though; I actually like the new SI better. I like the speed (ten at a time) and rt quotes and PM folders, and the folders that are coming. And they are going to fix the Search This Thread Only feature, which was a loss. Maybe they've done it already.)
At first I admit I hated it. I do hate change. As a rule. |
