Hey, sleep. I missed you.

[batskeets]

So, that whole thing about dragging myself to wushu last night? Didn't happen. I picked up some stir-fry at New Seasons, came home, watched Castle, and got partway through the latest episode of Dexter before passing out just before 10pm. Sleep is AMAZING.

Last weekend was fairly exhausting, largely because my body decided to be a rat-bastard and short me on sleep, and recovering from that was not the easiest thing.

FRIDAY: Went to wushu, went to Ground Kontrol, drank too much wine and watched a hilarious documentary, came home and passed out for 4 whole hours. I could've slept for another 2 or 3 hours, but my stupid body wouldn't let me. :p

SATURDAY: Veronica Mars at marykae 's, a derby practice that didn't suck, some portrait processing, and then I went over to veiravx and phasmaphobic's for a big-ass LAN/XBox party. I assumed I would be awful at everything on this day, due to not sleeping, but I actually had a good derby practice, got worky things done, and also managed to play Halo Reach and not die every 2 seconds! It was fairly amazing, and I had a great time overall! (I was still astoundingly awful at RE5, though. Derp.)

SUNDAY: Went to brunch and also gave kaptian the art prints he'd ordered forever ago. The wait time at Tin Shed was completely absurd. Then, I went to IKEA to buy a new couch, foolishly forgetting that it wouldn't fit in my car. And then, I went to Eugene to put out some interpersonal fires, and did so successfully.

And finally, Poll: is it crass to say, "I just want to be friends," via e-mail? Because, while I, personally, would not be bothered by such a thing, it seems that others potentially are.

And, I'm spent.

Crass...well, it's a little impersonal. I guess that depends on how you feel about the recipient. if you don't care what they think, then go for it.

I think I would prefer to get a "let's just be friends" via e-mail, because then I wouldn't have to calibrate my reaction based on being with the other party (and potentially in a public place) and then have to gracefully extricate myself from the situation. If I'm at home, on my laptop, and I get the "let's just be friends," I'm in a private place, so I can react naturally and take some time to craft my response without embarrassing myself.

Glad to see you over Saturday! We'll definitely be doing another one in early November

Well, I would ideally like to stay friends, but I get the feeling that isn't a likely outcome. :/

Depends on the person and the situation, as usual. I find it to be pretty cold, but then I'm an extroverted communicator and like to process things through conversation. Some people need time and space to craft their responses.

Either way, you're the best judge of that.

Situational, really. The more dates you've been on, the longer it's been going on, and/or the stronger he's indicated his feelings are (if at all), the less 'ok' it might be, from his point of view.

I've received something similiar to this via email before and been surprisngly fine with it.

You guys met on the internet and have had lots of internet communication right? So I think it's ok.

If you met at school and corresponded mostly on the phone and such I would think it was weird.

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's the thing: I had the same thing happen to me, and wasn't at all bothered by the format. But then *others* commented that dumping-via-email was a crap move, so I had to wonder if that's a widely-held belief. (I'm difficult to offend, so I'm never a good judge of this sort of thing, heh)

[skeets.livejournal.com]

Heh, good point. There has been a lot of internet-based interaction, so it wouldn't be entirely out-of-place.

[daemonwise.livejournal.com]

I've run into that, too. I think we may be exceptions on this one.

[xplo-eristotle.livejournal.com]

Dumping-via-email is crap. "Just friends" by email after a date or two, not so much.

[kitfalbo.livejournal.com]

e-mail is the way of the world now, I suppose you could actually write a letter but that seems more sever in that you need to pay for postage. (poor costly postal service)

You ready for the steam-punk castle next week?

It would feel weird to me since I'm the age I am, but I'm told it's normal and totally okay. I still did my last breakup in person.
