Dear Gothamites and DC door people, stop me if this sounds inappropriate, but considering victory of some kind was achieved, who would be interested in getting a drink?

Also I'm Donna Troy for people who haven't met me yet.

	I think I might be okay. The be yourself mantra never got me very far in life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I [...] go to therapy three times a week and I take plenty of anti-anxiety meds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think if you put me in a funhouse that showed the state of my mind and soul, it'd be some half-dead senior citizen on life support hissing curse words at anyone who passed by. I'm trying to not be that guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See? I'm not wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	No, but not being wrong doesn't mean you're right, either. And I'd hope you're aware of it at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	I'm pretty right. [Hmmblinkhmm.] You have permission to stop me if my self improvement efforts start to backfire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 05:30 pm UTC (link)
	I think there's more to you than that, or else you wouldn't be trying to not be that. But I've been away for quite a while, so maybe I'm wrong. [...] You know, for as much as I'm shilling advice hand over fist it seems, I am trying to not push my involvement too much on people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 05:44 pm UTC (link)
	You're correct, though I think the crazy old guy part is a little louder than he should be. People want your involvement, silly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Currently? Or chronically? Oh please. I'm very aware that there's a line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 05:53 pm UTC (link)
	Currently, though I guess he's better than EVERYONE IS FOOLISH Edward. I am terrible at those. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	Do you get a lot of EVERYONE IS FOOLISH Edward? (Edward, not Eddie?) I'm doing my best. We'll see how it goes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	That Edward died a long time ago. And yes Edward I would hurt people who tried to call me anything else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I won't say I'm not glad you're done thinking that everyone is an idiot. Can I ask what made the change away from that? [...] What are you preferring these days? Still Eddie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	Making mistakes. Making a lot of fucking mistakes. [Blink.] Eddie. It's disarming like my boyish good looks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	Ah. [...] So it's a step in the right direction? In your opinion? [...] You still qualify for "boyish"? [And smiley face.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	It makes the marriage counseling easier. I'm mid thirties. There's boyishness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose it does. [A somewhat longer pause. Slight eggshells:] How are things? Oh is there? Are you sure? Mid-thirties, doesn't that mean you're getting up there in age? [She appreciates the irony of the question coming from her.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We're doing better. She can't stop saying she failed me because of a stupid thing I told her while I was insane. I know she tells everyone this and it makes me look extremely abusive. Which is not something I'm comfortable with. I'm an asshole, sure, but I'm not abusive.

Says the saint who's older than the sand in Egyptian tombs. I could be in my seventies and still be spry like a grasshopper.

	Better is good. Even if it's tiny steps. [Her pen rests, like maybe she's going to try to say more, but nothing else comes.] ~~You know it's older than that~~ Teasing keeps me young. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	[Her listening is good enough for Eddie.] Telling someone without them instantly urging me to be a better man helps. I am trying. Keeping people on their toes does it for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death soundofwings 2014-09-17 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	I think you've been trying to be a better man since the first time we met. For whatever values of 'better' you're focused on at any point in time. I don't really see it as something that needs to be said at this point, maybe. Why am I not surprised? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Eddie / Death riddlethem 2014-09-17 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	I'll probably die trying to be better. I don't think it's a goal I'll ever reach. An unsolvable riddle. I'd be disappointed if you were. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
