Life of a Creative Writing Grad Student [and knitter]

The occasional opining of a sleep-deprived grad student, with cheese.

Well, I'm back

That was a wonderfully long conversation with a friend I haven't gotten to talk to for a while. The one whose wedding I had to miss? Remember her from posts long since posted? Yeah. She's doing well at her new station, and has only had one real problem, which has been worked out. And a pain in the neck. These people inhabit every situation. There's always a pain in the neck.

The couple upstairs had a major fight today. She was screaming and crying, and he was yelling so hard his voice broke during nearly every sentence. He wants her to realize that it's "not all about sex" and she wants to know why he always wants it, then. It got ugly. I was afraid there'd be violence. Apparently, the marriage is being called off until they get their acts together. It ended with him storming out and her calling for him not to leave her. Then she cried for an hour and vacuumed. I haven't heard a peep from upstairs since she put the vacuum away. For their sakes, I hope they have really ended it. With all that fighting they do, neither one can be happy in the relationship.

Well, that's about it for now. I've got Feminism to read for tonight.

End.
