Subject: another fbc arrival
Frankenberrycat Quentin Quire arrived at the school today. He was the pickup that Jennie and Jean did - i did not realise - I am not used to being able to get to the X-Men's team reports so easily.
He is - well, if it he is older than 16 I am surprised, he is Asian - I think Korean but maybe Japanese or Chinese, I am not very good at determining asian heritage from facial structure without staring and I was not going to stare. Telepath - Professor Xavier warned me - and telekinetic - this is new, yes?
He is zero things like blond weedy grabby hands Quentin except angry and hungry. He was also higher than a kite and well into the munchies when I spoke to him. He has funny coloured hair, but it is dyed.
Stay in the office until we can talk?

I am f*^#ing done with frankenberrycat. Quentin Quire, Bobby Drake but no Terry, Kitty Pryde but no Jamie? Starting to feel like Xorn (pretentious godlike Chinese WANKER) put together this entire universe based around ‘how hard can I troll Doug Ramsey?’
*sigh* Yes, I will stay in my office.

Jamie is a wanker who holds grudges for longer than necessary and this Quentin is better than the last one.
I may be biased, he reminded me of Jean-Philippe.
I have pizza and garlic bread sticks and beer and wine and Wade and Laurie and televisions shows queued up for this evening since I do not think you can really make an emergency therapy appointment because the universe would unravel.

Jamie might be a wanker, but I still miss him.
You know what’s frustrating? Having a therapist who you can’t tell half of the problem to.
no subject

You miss a Jamie from before he was a self-righteous wanker. The Jamie who walked away from your friendship instead of sticking by you when you were clearly distressed is not worth it.
(he hung up on you when you were scared and 16 again. He is a epic wanker)
Yes, I imagine it would be. At least there is pizza and whatever movies you find on Netflix that we can all agree on?

I miss when my entire life wasn’t this enormous ball of “it’s complicated”.
(Under no circumstances are we watching a movie with ‘it’s complicated’ in its title or description)

Your life has been this complicated since you woke up able to speak all the languages.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 06:55 pm (UTC)From: Doug
It didn’t feel this complicated to start out with. Y’know, before I got digested by a meat computer and stuff like that. It was weird, but it still felt…normal, in some ways.

Vous êtes très plein de merde

Well, that’s a bit on the nose.

When is the last time your life was really normal? When is the last time you can remember that you could not read... let us go with a dozen - a dozen languages fluently without straining? How old were you? Twelve?
You have been a mutant longer than you have been a grown man. Stop thinking your life is ever going to be normal, normal stopped for all of us before any of us were born.

Do I have any other illusions that need puncturing?
I just thought there were all these things that I was supposed to do and be, and then there’s how my life turned out. And I there’s this huge difference between them.
(well, at least that’s something I can talk to my therapist about)
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 07:43 pm (UTC)From: MA
Not that are mine to puncture but you should email Wade if you want any more revelations today.
Well bugger 'supposed to do' I was supposed to be a nun if my mother had and say in it and look how much better I am than THAT. Supposed to is for boring.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:05 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Revelations? What is that I don’t even.
I’m glad you didn’t wind up being a nun.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:06 pm (UTC)From: MA
When you catch up with the rest of us you will understand.
I am too, nothing is more cliche then an assassin nun.
I notice you changed the subject.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:09 pm (UTC)From: Doug
“The rest of us”? I should be used to you being cryptic by now, shouldn’t I.
Remember the luchador nun that Remy said was a CIA agent?
I noticed you noticing.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:11 pm (UTC)From: MA
The rest of us, yes. Sometimes you do not see what is right in front of you.
I do remember, but she was a luchador nun who was also a small person, and that is acceptable because it is a lot of cliches piled on top of each other. Just assassin nun is boring.
So what are you going to do about it?

Date: 2015-04-13 08:21 pm (UTC)From: Doug
You are frustrating sometimes.
I have absolutely no idea.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:41 pm (UTC)From: MA
Yes I am!
Dye your hair a colour and get a tattoo?
Go find yourself by walking in the desert for a month?
Decide that normal is over-rated and stop making it your ideal?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:55 pm (UTC)From: Doug
How about childlike pouting and sticking my tongue out at you?
:P
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 08:56 pm (UTC)From: MA
Now who is frustrating?
Avoiding it will not make it go away.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 09:08 pm (UTC)From: Doug
If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander. :P
No, but it usually at least gets me through the day without a nervous breakdown?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 09:10 pm (UTC)From: MA
I think the frequency and tenor of your nervous breakdowns would lessen if you accepted that you are never going to be normal and you have been abnormal for longer than you were ever normal.
If you were ever normal. Do you know when you manifested?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 09:34 pm (UTC)From: Doug
I don’t know how to just let go of whatever existential confusion and just accept all of this.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 09:37 pm (UTC)From: MA
You do fine when you are not so convinced you have to think think think about the meaning of everything you do.
You are very good at not answering questions, did you know that?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:14 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Yeah, well, I don’t have so much luck stopping myself from thinkthinkthinking. It’s hard to turn my brain off.
You have mentioned that once or twice.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:16 pm (UTC)From: MA
Think think about other things then. Redirect instead of stopping, is that not how you fight sometimes too yes?
Why do you do that, avoid so many questions?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:31 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Yeah, but redirect to what?
Because I don’t like thinking about them? Or I don’t like the answers?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:33 pm (UTC)From: MA
Find something that you can distract yourself with I suppose?
How can you not like the answer to 'when did you manifest your powers'? I do not understand how that could be a thing that would cause you consternation!
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:38 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Yeah, haven’t found anything yet.
It’s not that question in particular so much as the larger normalcy thing.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:39 pm (UTC)From: MA
It has been a whole ten minutes since I asked!
So you avoid everything that touches that 'larger normalcy thing'?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:46 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Yeah, well, I’ve tried about ten different things in that ten minutes. My concentration is nowhere to be found.
…yes?
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 10:48 pm (UTC)From: MA
Ten whole things. That is a lot.
That was sarcastic by the way.
Maybe that is the problem and you should whittle away at those questions.
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 11:39 pm (UTC)From: Doug
Sarcasm. Yeah, THAT’S original.
Thank you, Dr. Colbert. (that was sarcasm too)
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 11:41 pm (UTC)From: MA
That quote is not original either.
Have I hit upon something your therapist tells you? If so then you should listen to me more!
no subject
Date: 2015-04-13 11:54 pm (UTC)From: Doug
That’s sort of the point in a meta fashion. Also I am often not original.
Is there anything else I should listen to you more about?
