FFS. I'm so scrambled right now it's not even fun. I'm commenting on my previous post, because I want to say something else here. That post was friends-only (not any more), for the reason that I didn't particularly want Kate to know about my even meeting Eva. *That's* major grade fucked up. I'm not going out with her, and given all the assorted problems that a relationship would have (no. 1- the fricking distance), odds are roughly snowball in hell. Yet, part of me feels like I'm betraying her just by having romantic possibilities with someone else. Heck, there's pretty good odds that nothing will come out of my contact with Eva, but still there's the guilt. Gah, it's almost like I'm bloody Catholic or something - I'm feeling guilty about something I haven't done yet, and probably won't, because it might be betraying someone that I'm not connected to enough to be betraying. Fuck.... and I wonder why it's been 15 months between kisses.
I'm not sure here, maybe Kate is still reading all of this. Fug it, let's go with honesty here, because quite frankly I can't think of a better idea right now. That, and friends-only posts suck dead slugs thru a straw, mostly because they don't show up unless you're logged in - which most of the time I only do when I post a comment.
Ok, random geeky thoughts - mostly my attempts to do other things than be scrambled. Been watching thru Angel and ST:DS9 eps. May I be the 9 zillonth fanboy to declare the Defiant seriously fucking rules! For fans of it, watch 3x19 ("Through the Looking glass") and see Sisko pilot that thing *around* a Cardassian space ship (ok, cardy design, but mostly Klingon piloted, blame the mirror universe) - like literally hugging the hull and shooting all shit out of it. The Defiant under Sisko's command effectively seems to be able to chew up anything in its path, big stuff, small stuff, whatever. Why the hell Starfleet doesn't build lots of them (haven't watched beyond 3x20 yet, so don't tell me if they do) is beyond me.....

Yes, you are being silly feeling that you're betraying someone you're 'not connected enough to betray'. But such is A-grade crushes. Now, as she probably isnt reading this, (or if it is it's because she's doing that annoying girly thing of winding her self up over something that's non of her business anyway), get on with your life. This whole thing with Eva may turn into something romantic, or a friendship, or nothing in particular, but you know full well that dropping it just because some lass you fancy in another country might be slightly put out because you're no longer devoted to her is DAFT.
Live in the now, don't worry about what may or may not be.

My interest is in the future, because that's where I'm going to be spending the rest of my life
