caught between 2 acquaintances
Feb. 17th, 2004 12:24 pmPerhaps I shouldn’t care. Or bother. But I do.
Someone casually informs me that they’ll be crashing with another nodding acquaintance in the not-too-distant future. Person #1 has always struck me as a good person. Person #2, I have found, has serious issues, including stalking and other obsessive-like behaviours.
I don’t know if #1 knows this about #2. I started to write an email about it, but no matter how I worded it.......waaaah!
“Hey,
I hear you’re gonna stay with #2 in a few weeks. How well do you know each other? Because . . .”
1. If #1 is in the dark, I could save him much heart-ache and drama
2. if #1 knows this but is gonna give #2 the benefit of the doubt, could be OK
3. If they’re already good mates, I look like a meddling asshole.
Help? Please?

But that's just me.
Speaking of chat. I tried to add you to msn, but dunno if it was effective. I have problems with their service all the time. If/when you're around, msg me on msn (brrdy@hotmail.com -- I never check the mail there, it's for msn only).
