They're free
Apr. 5th, 2007 12:06 pmI am extremely happy and utterly tunned by this turn of events. I'll be honest, I never thought it would end this well.
The British sailors are being released. No-one had to die, no war was declared, there was no bombing, no extreme sanctions, few childish insults, no-one had to back down or bend their stiff pride and diplomatic relations with Iran - and/or the Middle East in general have remained on relatively good footing - at least, as well as they used to be.
All in all, it looks like the political powers that be actually acted like sane, polite, sensible grown ups. Excuse me while I check the skies for aerial pigs or the four horsemen because this is unprecedented.
My utmost congratultions and applause to the British government and diplomatic corps. I rarely have a good thing to say about Blair and his crew, but they did good.

I was reflecting on my past love life the other day (boring client, mind wanders. Plead guilty, the lawyer is having porno thoughts) and came to teh conclusion that after one or two bad (MONUMENTALLY bad) experiences I have no tolerance for high maintenance partners. Every time I was with guy or contemplating guy who seemed to have a double handfull of issues I dropped him/avoided him like the plague. No judgement one way or the other on that one, it just is. (Beloved is wonderfully low maintenance, btw, we both having mastered the art of "i don't know exactly WHY you need that/that is important to you, but I understand that it is and respect that).
It then occurs to me that, with my various irrational squicks, moods, high tension job that can throw my moods out, large drama laden family and general randomness, I may, JUST maaaaay class as a high maintenance partner. So, in true angsty style, I approached beloved with this.
