"Brianna Arrives...." March 27, 2000

An Hour To Midnight...

...and it has been a long week thus far.

And it is only Monday.

Come on weekend!

Since picking her up at the train station on Saturday afternoon, The Goddess and I have been entertaining her former roommate, Brianna. I had been approaching the visit with mixed feelings, knowing that despite how sweet, generous and kind Brianna can be, she also has a propensity to be moody, sensitive, and eccentric.

And she has had a very difficult time adjusting to The Goddess and I being together as partners, so guess which side predominates. My theory is that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with The Goddess. The Goddess feels she may have had something for me. Given the fact that Brianna is a radical feminist, and feels that intercourse is a patriarchal construction, I think I am right.

I cannot be too critical, however. She has been a good friend to The Goddess when my beloved really needed one, and when I myself could not be a physical presence for her. Brianna has also made valiant attempts to be good to me, despite the feelings she is struggling to reconcile.

I am confident that all Brianna needs is some time.

But my, how she has been off the wall emotionally these last few days. She is not projecting it on me, however, which has been her modus operandi. Instead, she is driving The Goddess crazy, and guess who loses on that score?

Hmm...perhaps Brianna is switching tactics, only to reach the same end as ever.

Issues more or less came to a head this evening, with The Goddess confronting Brianna about her miseries since Saturday. I mean, really, why did she come to visit if all she is going to be is deplorable? She was able to articulate to Herself having hurt feelings over our picking her up late Saturday. This, I can understand. The Goddess is not known for punctuality, and it is very easy for one to internalize this. Brianna also stated that she is having difficulty seeing The Goddess settled into her new life here in the Maritimes.

Like I said, I know I am right.

I am hoping that after this heart to heart, this tet-a-tet, that things will be more pleasant.

It is going to be a loooooong week otherwise....

....Blessed Be...
