Deep Impact is a thoroughly depressing movie. If you haven't seen it, good for you. Comet, earth, boom, basically. Little boom anyway. I bet Fraser'd be on the pre-selected list; that, or have some fool-proof plan to save all of Greater Chicago with Kowalski's toothpick and a bootlace. I always end up wondering what I'd do if the world was ending in ten days. I get as far as "save the waffle maker" and then, sad as it sounds, I draw a blank. Kind of. So like I said - thoroughly depressing movie. I don't recommend it.

Do you want the honest answer or something to make you feel better?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Honesty, please God. But you know, Italians aren't just picky, we're Olympic arguers too. Heh, if he ever had the guts to come to dinner at my house he'd see pretty quick it's par for the course. S'what we do.

It sounds like you're reliving the last year of my marriage. We Irish are fighters.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Maybe we're doing it backwards. Separation period first. And I don't think you need to thank your heritage for being a fighter, Murph, that's all you. I think it's good to be one.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't want to have a relationship backwards. Well, whether it's my heritage or me, I'll take it.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Think of it this way: if a regular relationship is doomed to fail and you're living it backwards? The only way is up.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

You know all relationships start with that awkward getting to know you stage. What about that?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Might be awkward but it's also exciting. Pretty sure that wouldn't happen anyway. Long as I don't fall down and get amnesia, I'm not likely to forget the things I'd have learned about him.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Are you happy?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

No. But I think I could be.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Is could be enough for you?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Uh...gotta take chances to get places, right?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I guess that depends on the person.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

The person you are or the person you're taking the chance on?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

The person you are. Some people wouldn't take a chance on anything.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

You one of them?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

I'm one of those people who makes up her mind about chances when she's faced with them.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Case by case analysis. Sounds like the cop in you.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

The one part of me you can always count on.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Self-pity. Better to revel in it with company or alone?

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Misery loves company. Isn't that how the saying goes?

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Yeah but that doesn't mean they're always right. I mean, Mounties are always meant to get their man but I swear Fraser's arrested chicks too.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

That's a little literal there, Vecchio.

[r-vecchio.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe literal is the way to go. All this metaphor stuff can't be good for the brain. Too confusing.

[lieu-murphy.livejournal.com]

Both have their uses.
