I see. One of these days I'll actually have a full picture of what happened. I think I'm missing whole chunks of this timeline and the perspectives are skewed by the storyteller.

That aside... Forget Topol. I probably can't even find that movie-musical here. Maybe I'll explain the opening number to you later.

Man it must suck to be Joaquin. He has a knack for inspiring people to sort-of-but-not-actually-propose to the object of his affection.

i dont know how much
you know about it but
its a long confusing story
joaquin and i both did things
we arent proud of and
our friend was caught in the middle

maybe i will tell you sometime
just not over the texts
my hand would start to hurt
from pushing all the buttons

if topol involves music
then i will probably like to
hear about it later


you proposed to dr. gottlieb
because of something joaquin did?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Fair enough, dude. And as a master of things I'm not proud of doing, you are not being judged. I know some of Joaquin's part of that anyway and... Yeah. You can lay the complicated story on me when you're ready.


Proposed is a strong word. I asked his opinion on marriage and weddings, and related things. And a consensus was reached that I would like very much to spend the rest of my life with him, come hell or high water, and he accepted that. And has no plans to leave, he says. That was the result of Joaquin's actions.

When I actually sort of proposed but didn't, Hermann told me it was too soon. So there's that, but that's not Joaquin's fault. I screwed that one up on my own.

i dont know what we did
to have good people like you and dr. gottlieb
look after us but thank you
very much for the offer

ive never told anyone
the entire story before
i didnt even completely understand
that i did a very selfish thing
until another import told me
my actions were not normal

so maybe it would be good
for me and my relationships with
the important people in my life
to talk about it sometime


i am happy to hear that
you and dr. gottlieb
are able to talk about the future
its okay if its too soon for marriage
what matters is you agree to
stand by each other
come hell or high water, as you say

the ring is just a symbol
a formality
important because of what it stands for
not because its on your finger
or how much it costs

you belong to each other
but neither of you own the other
