My, what an incestuous group of friends I have. I stayed up entirely too late speaking with Kate about such matters, and there was really no conclusion. Kate recieved the stink-eye from my crushy friend, which does not bode well, especially because Kate will become my roommate in a matter of weeks. Everyone simply needs to cool the fuck out.
I've been on a "get my sorry ass published in some crappy litmag somewhere" kick, so a lot of old stuff's getting dusted off and bundled up.
