This clears up a lot of things, in my mind.

We're family, and sometimes when you meet your family, you think they're your lover

(addendum: and sometimes when you meet your lover, you think they're your family)

Non-poly-terminology-folks: no, this isn't about incest, this is about chosen family and confusing closeness/intimacy, and that kind of choosing with sexual/romantic stuff.

Wise, wise words. Words that I wish I'd heard long before I finally did. :)

It always seems that however much I hear something, it needs to happen to me before I understand. Do you think they'd have made a difference for you to hear?

This is oddly timely.

Oh? How so?

I met someone interesting last term and we started getting together recently. I know, though they're really cool, that they're not necessarily meant to be a lover, but I hadn't actually considered clearly what that meant. So, hearing it put so clearly in this quote is surprisingly timely.

Ahh. S'cool to hear it before you're burnt. Tonight, maybe, we can do moving stuff? I'm not off work till six or so, but my free time is painfully limited right now...

Can you drive stuff over, or should I try and commandeer mom?

I'm cooking dinner tonight, so I'm going to be busy until at least 9ish. Though, if that works for you, we should be able to meet somewhere and go over there to get most of your stuff with my car.

Some of your books are already in storage, so we'll have to deal with that later. I'm pretty sure the boxes that say "Erin's Books" aren't all just your books too, what with the disarray of the last move... But, yeah, that can be sorted out later.

It's also surprisingly painful to think of you with someone new. I've been looking forward to a call when you had time. Never have been able to figure you out, I guess. It's weird, because I was so happy to hear that Jan had met someone.
