    I'm watching some guys playing Rift. Comparing stuff to WoW is fine and kind of unavoidable, but they compare the silliest things.

    "Look, even looting is just like in WoW!"

    Uh, yeah. You move stuff from the dead guy to your inventory. There are only so many good ways to do it.

    "It even has sparkles on stuff you can loot, wink wink!"

    Sigh.

    I've dyed my hair occasionally, though not for a while. I did a bit when I was 15-17, and then it went reddish when I had the mental breakdown that was my year at Cambridge (and was dyed back to brown before the end for my brother's wedding).

    My sister has had every colour known to man on her hair. Pink or pinkish red was a favourite for a long time.

    Never having dated, the concept of being buddy-buddy with an ex afterwards seems weird. I guess there are as many ways for a relationship to end as there are pairings of people, but usually when I stop seeing people or they stop seeing me it's either because they've moved, we can't be arsed to make the time and effort, or someone's done something or become something that one of us doesn't like.

    I can't imagine seeing someone in a friendly capacity after looking at them in a romantic light and having that end. It's like necromancy, you never get what you tried to revive, you just get this awkward, twisted facsimile you need to be careful around because it wants to rip your heart out.

    Nah that's not really the way it works, man

    After you've been out and dating and seeing people for a while concepts like "having your heart ripped out" kind of lose their relevancy.

    People get together for any number of reasons and they stop being together for just as many possible reasons, very few of which have to be THAT BITCH RUINED MY LIFE or whatever.

    And when you actually have had a long term and close partnership, and it ends, if there was anything at all good about that relationship there is still someone out there in the world who understands you better than almost anyone else. Sometimes including your oldest friends. My parents divorced when I was four - twenty-seven years ago! - and my mom is an awful crazy person who I have had to institutionalize many times and she has stalked my dad and threatened to burn down his house...but even despite all that, when they are together and talking they still have a mutual shorthand and an instinctive understanding of each other.
