[IAN] Am I a terrible human being for being happy that someone's dead? I think that makes me a terrible person. But---good, good riddance-- [/IAN]

I'm trying to remember if we've had a good month of December in the past few years? What's wrong with the world, wanting to ruin this month of presents and- celebrating life?

No. Because that would make me a bad person too. Even worse, maybe, because it wouldn't bother me if I was, as long as he's gone.

Now I'm a confused person because the more I think about if I'm a terrible person or not the more upset I get and now I think I'm going to be a crying person.

You need to stop thinking about him. Remember how much he's not worth your it?

I know! And I'm trying! It's just that I've---wished for this for so bloody long and now--I don't know what to think! I don't know if it's good or bad that I...cared isn't the word, I didn't care that he died but...affected?

I think I mean affected. I don't know!

It's good that he died. And I think there'd be something wrong with you if you weren't affected by it, but--it's over now, you know. Let yourself be happy. After what he did, you deserve it and you're no less of a person for that.

It's not over, it can never-- I kind of want to talk about it. To people.

Oh God, I'm feeling like an adult.

But I mean--I sit on the WWN talking about nonsense all day, I mean, if I talk about--it, then that could help a lot of people, right? I mean. I think I'd have wanted someone to talk to me, at least.

Is that a bad idea? My husband who is also acting as a guru?

I don't think it's a bad idea, talking can... help and stuff.

See, see now you called me a guru and suddenly I have no idea what to say. Damn you, woman! How am I supposed to impart helpful advice now!

Well, your birthday's tomorrow! That's something, right?

How are the Dornys doing?

Wow. That is tomorrow, isn't it? Damn, I almost forgot about my own birthday. When the hell does that ever happen?


We're...readjusting, I guess. Trying to get back into the swing of things.

I dunno, never happened to me before.

That's good! I guess. I mean! Maybe we should double date or something, to celebrate! We need something to celebrate.

Me neither.

It is good, yeah. A double date sounds like a great idea, actually. It's been a while since I've seen you.

[Liz]

Just...don't expect Giada to be a particularly good conversationalist. She hasn't said much of anything lately.

Great! I'll try to make reservations somewhere fancy.

[GRAEME] Yeaaah, I totally understand. It's a good thing I can talk for ten people, huh? [/GRAEME]

Awesome. Keep me updated.

[Liz]

Ha. I knew there was a reason I kept you around.

I'm just worried about her. She hasn't been the same since the attack. Then Lennon died, neither of us have heard from the station, even though we've sent multiple letters and even called a few times to figure out what's going on, and now the minister is gone as well.

All of that, and she's getting frustrated about the fact that she hasn't been able to get pregnant yet.

It's like things are moving backwards.

Damn.

Damn. Well--I can try to find something out for you tomorrow at the offices?

Ergh, I don't know--maybe you need to have a drunken night at a quidditch party and not want to get pregnant, and then she'll get pregnant--worked for me!

I don't know why I can't have a serious conversation without making a joke. Sorry. But--I mean, you guys haven't been trying for long, really! I wouldn't let her get worried, or anything.

I don't have any control over how worried she gets. If I did, all would be well and good.

So maybe this double date will be a good thing, then! It'll get her mind and yours off of things!

And I'm sure your little Graeme swimmers are swimming just fine. By the way. Not sure if you needed that reassurance, but.

Here's hoping.

Of course they're swimming fine. They're athletes. Olympians, even. But, I do appreciate the unnecessary reassurance.

Unnecessary reassurance is a specialty of mine. Like, let me assure you that the sky will be blue tomorrow, just in case you were wondering.

OH MY GOD BY THE WAY, if you guys have a girl, I am going to have a boy next and they are going to be either MEANT TO BE or the best of friends like we are, IS THAT CLEAR? I AM CALLING THIS PRE-CONCEPTION I THINK I HAVE FIRST DIBS.
