Sweet, sweet, once-a-month boozeaholing with fire and friends. Thank god SimonB has picked up and enjoys driving... no more DDing for me. (Not that I really ever did, but no driving means I can drink! DRINK!)

I think I may have no throat left.

Hopefully, tomorrow there will be Exalted chargen. And even if there isn't, there is hanging out with SimonB! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

(Sorry, other-Ali, I neeeeeeeeed to share this conversation with the WORLD.)

Other-Ali: So, why/how did you and Simon stay friends after you broke up?
Me: (thinking) Why wouldn't we have? Ummm... I dunno, because we're awesome? That's not really a satisfying answer... Oi! Simon!
Simon: Yo!
Me: Why/how did we stay friends after we broke up?
Simon: Because we're awesome?
Me: ...did you hear my answer?
Simon: No.
Me: falls over laughing WE'RE REALLY PSYCHIC TWINS.

it was a pretty cool conversation. I asked because I have rarely seen people who have broken up as close friends as you and Simon.

Yeah, it doesn't happen that often, I know. But... I dunno, I guess I find that weird. Because I only date people that were friends first, I don't see why the friendship would end if there wasn't a blowout argument that caused the breakup. :)

That's awesome. My ex Gordon and I were really close friends after we broke up, but he's moved to BC now, so we don't talk as much. It's kind of interesting given that Gordon and I only knew each other for a month before we started dating.

It's weird that my few relationships have always started out as "getting to know each other and moving towards romance" rather than as established friendships, given that I'm the kind of person who really needs a relationship to be about friendship as much as romance (and has had such relationships).
