turned to ashes in my mouth

Y'know what really sucks?
When you 'push' a friend to get something you want...
And then you feel so bad about what you did, you can't even enjoy what you got.

Bed.

ADDENDUM: I wonder how much of what I'm feeling is because it wasn't Perfect, and I wasn't Perfect, and...
*sigh*

miladycarol: read and understood, but I probably should have turned off comments from the start. Apologies.

Fannish observation of the day

As Starfleet captains go, Kathryn Janeway is very much like Chris Pike.

Certainly there are differences, some of them attributable to gender... but both are serious, cerebral, disciplined, steely-eyed and a bit stiff-necked. They’re protective of their crews (to the point of self-sacrifice), have a tendency to brood over any perceived failures in that duty, and are implacably hostile to those who would threaten the ship. They don’t charge boldly into situations, but their curiosity has been known to overcome their better judgment (and later they brood about that, too). They are parental figures, the stern father and the mother hen, with only one or two confidantes they trust enough to drop their personal shields for. And they hardly ever smirk.

The swashbuckling maverick with the Tom Sawyer grin; the smooth, scholarly gentleman-officer; the man of destiny whose deep passions are often hidden by a placid, reflective surface; the explorer impatient to claim his people's place among the stars... none are quite like these two kindred spirits.
