Interlude:
One thing that I like about the Dora/Tai pairing is that I am learning more about Tai. I am more sympathetic toward her than I was before this story arc. That's about the only thing I like about the Dora/Tai pairing, but, eh.
Having said that... Does no one in the QC Universe know how to handle a sleepless night? I have never had a lot of friends, but if I was upset over something, I certainly wouldn't call any of them or randomly show up in the middle of the night. Sometimes you just have to deal with it-- contemplating your own feelings BY YOURSELF can be a good thing. The date went relatively well. Nothing HORRIBLE happened. I absolutely understand her wanting to talk to a friend about it, and even coming away from it unsure about things, but nothing that would need to be talked about right away like that. Seriously. Maybe take up journal keeping or something?
Tova:
But then Jeph couldn't have done the broken-door-lock running gag.
Carl-E:
And it wouldn't be nerly s funny...
And besides, this does happen in real life.
Apparently to some of us more than others.
CrowFairy:
I have pretty much just one person I can text if I freak out in the middle of the night. But she always takes like two hours to reply (More often than not, I text at 2:30 and hear from her at 4:30), so I've already had time to cry it out and fall asleep. She always says something soothing, and I just go back to sleep. Or not.
Point is that I can't imagine going over to someone's apartment or house or dorm in the middle of the night and expect them to welcome me with open arms. Just seems presumptuous. Not that Tai was being that way. That's just what it would feel like to me if I were to do it. Sometimes all you can and should do is lie down and try to sleep.
"Sleeping on it" is psychologically proven to help your thought process! Sleeping is the time in which your brain starts to sort things out you couldn't figure out consciously. Maybe some people in QC should give it a try... Obviously not as entertaining, but it does concern me a bit that they don't try to handle problems on their own for a bit before going to someone else. That seems really ... dependent. But I hate asking for help, so maybe that's just me.
... I'm pretty sure I'm incapable of making a short and simple post. Dadgum.
Carl-E:
Keep working at it, it'll come!
I kid, I kid! Your posts are great!
I am a fairly early riser, and always the first one up in the house. There have been times when I've come downstairs in my pyjamas to see one of our friends nervously pacing in the living room floor or sitting at the table and smoking in the kitchen. I blame my wife, to whom myriad people turn for help and advice.
Including me...
