Jul. 22nd, 2004 04:47 pmAs I was watching Spiderman #2 yesterday, almost every Dunst/Maguire scene made me think of
bacony-who-is-Katy. (Well, that and "OMG blue eyes so much," which in turn made me think of Katy again.) So I spent a certain amount of time thinking about the breakup, and exactly what it means.
Logistically it's not such a big thing. Lord knows I was spending few enough nights at "home" - four nights out of seven at the best of times; usually less, especially now I've started sleeping at Nook's every Tuesday - and even when I was there she'd likely go to bed before I got home. We only rarely ate together. I'd go for weeks without seeing her. Even when we were in the same place at the same time it was likely that I would be on my computer while she watched TV, or played on her computer, or crocheted, or knitted, or painted dragons. Or whatever. So removing her from the equation does not massively reduce the amount of actual facetime.
(Of course this only means very little change from my point of view. It's a massive change for Katy, she has to get used to somebody else being there full time ... but in terms of Andy interaction, yeah, not so much)
Effectively, then, what it means is we won't intersect naturally. All I had to do to spend a night with Katy - in the Old Country - was to stay in on a night when she was also staying in. For all the weeks that went by without contact, there was the occasional weekend when neither of us would leave the house and we'd eat pizza and icecream (non-dairy) and talk of days past. Or cock. Now we'll have to actually make effort, arrange times and places and such (LARP notwithstanding). Katy will no longer be the default setting, which does depress me somewhat.
And of course we're going to have to go through all our things, which were hurriedly boxed up together. DVDs, videos and kitchenware mostly, but there's also some miscellaneous stuff that just got thrown together in the last few boxes. Hmm, I'll also see
batelf less, since I'm not the one he's stalking ... though he mostly visited when Katy was vulnerable alone, so not so much.
So, yeah, Katy gets first refusal on any lodging opportunities that may arise. Sorry
mrssshhh ... though of course if she turns me down I'd love to take you.
In.
As a lodger.
