Trapping is a fine career

It's difficult to live with my mother and sister now, even for a couple of days when I'm back from school. Damned shame I guess, dunno.

Excellent day outside yesterday, and playing ball was good fun. I don't want to be "breathing down your neck"...heheh,I'm just looking out - your man in the trenches, a friend to all. Lio Convoy is so much thinner. Crazy stuff. He's like half the width he used to be, it's funny stuff. Very proud of him.

As an 'outside' observer, I can say that getting a 12 month lease with two people who are dating is an unequivocably bad idea. Just maybe, if the people are married... that's still a stretch. But, the people not in their relationship are basically betting a large amount of money and their happiness while they're at home that the couple will stay together, happily, for the whoel period of the lease. It's a shitty risk, and not a "risk" in the fun, happy-go-lucky, extreme sense - just the risk of opening oneself up to a whole bunch of shit. It's much too much to ask anyone that you guys will be living with, no matter how good your relationship seems. I wouldn't ask anyone to enter into a lease with my girlfriend and I, and we've been together for a year and a half, and she's one of the best, most stable people I've ever met. Relationships are an emotional, random, tempestuous sort of thing for almost anyone, and you'll be exposing everyone with you to that storminess - a house ought to be a respite from that, not a major source of chaos in itself. Pappy's making the right choice as is, and for his sake, as well as yours, I hope you're not able to sway his opinion.

The post about your heaving desires for Wilson was, bleh... I don't quite understand the motives behind it. It gave you the appearance of an attention hound, and yes, a "drama queen", whatever the reality of the situation is.
