A few clarifications and random things

[porter_inc]

This is mainly going to be me listing out random things and commenting on them. Feel free to skip over it all because, like most of my ramblings, it's not really all that interesting. I just have to get it all out of my head so I can get some sleep.

1. Okay, I want to make this clear: Orlando and I are not living together. I'm living at home in Hartford. Orli's living in his home in New York. We basically commute to see one another, and I think the longest I've ever stayed over is a long weekend. I spend a lot of my time trying to keep myself busy during the week because I miss him a lot, but there is no cohabitation going on. He's still technically married. No, I don't see it as hypocritical that we're in love and having sex. Making the decision to live together is a completely different thing.

2. Orli told me the divorce will probably be final before Christmas. I'm sorry for the way things had to happen. I know how hard divorce is on both parties. The thing that breaks my heart the most is knowing he's lost his friend. Still, I believe in miracles. Talia no longer wants to stab my eyes out when she sees me, and what I did to her was a hell of a lot worse than what happened with Orli. Maybe after Cordy spends a ton more money, she'll come around. Is that bitchy of me to say? Ah, I'll let it stand. I'm tired.

3. Mom's birthday is tomorrow. I'm going to surprise her by making breakfast for her, then I'll be taking her out for a day in the city. The highlight of the day will be taking her to see The Nutcracker. She seems to think that the car was going to take care of her birthday, Christmas and Mother's Day presents for the rest of her life. Um, no.

4. Ann and Helene have worked out their problems and are finally ready to get pregnant. They asked me, again, to consider being the donor. I just don't know... Things are so much more complicated now than they were the first time they asked me.

5. I got a letter from a woman today who claims to be my sister. I didn't show it to Mom because she doesn't really like to talk too much about Dad's other family. Well, she doesn't really know that much about it. Or so she says. Anyway, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I've also gotten marriage proposals (from men and women), naked pictures, recipes(!), nice letters, and a few religious tracts.

6. Peter's seeing someone. It's really, really, really weird. I'm happy for him, but I can't believe he's actually seeing someone who's not me. That's a lot more egotistical than I mean for it to sound. After Kory died, I was the only one Peter wanted to be with and he swore that he couldn't ever be happy with anyone else. I told him that wasn't true but he was so sure that he could never meet anyone he'd want. And now he has. I think it's great! But weird. I just hope it helps him ease up on me.

7. I got a postcard from Talia! She and lawyer man are honeymooning in Jamaica. It looks gorgeous and she sounds really happy. I'm glad she got the chance to have a real honeymoon with a real husband. I know he'll treat her well.

8. Jesus, I'm freezing. I really don't want to put on the flannel pajamas but I might have to. If my sweetie was here we could do that naked body heat thing.

9. Someone please explain why Paris Hilton is famous. And why Britney Spears thinks it's a good idea to be her new BFF.

10. Cocoa makes me happy.

Okay. I got to the part where you said you're living with a married man and stopped right there, because that?!? Is just weird. Hello!!! Do what Wes and Aidan did and get married first!!!

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'm not living with him.

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are!!! Hello!!! Over the weekend?!? Right there, buddy, go re-read!!! That's, like, the first step to marriage.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I don't even leave my toothbrush there! When I leave his house, there's no sign I was ever there. That's staying over, not living together, honestly!

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Yeah, right. Okay, le me break it down for you. First, there's the first base second base third base crap, which you've already done. Next? We've got our in-love cheaters. Hey, I'm not blaming since I was technically dating another guy when I hooked up with my fiancee. Whatever.

Okay, next? Seeing each other, talking, weekends over? Hello!!! Do you not see the writing on the wall?!? Living in sin followed by marriage. But trust me, you don't wanna give away the whole cow just yet, okay?!?

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you could really give Dr. Phil a run for his money, you know. *grins* Now, let me break it down for you from my end. The whole cow's pretty much been signed, sealed and delivered. We're basically waiting for the divorce to be final before we decide on the next step.

Besides, we're not even allowed to get married. Living in sin may be all we ever get to do.

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

What?!? That's crap. Wes and Aidan got married, and they don't even have money like Elton John does!!!

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

If I get married again, I'd like it to be legally recognized the way my first marriage was. Anyway, it's way too soon to be thinking about stuff like that.

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Oh honey, it's never too soon to be thinking about that!!! I've been thinking about it since I was three!!! I have some magazines you can borrow if you'd like!!!

[lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com]

*is confused* Get married first, before what?

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Before you go and ruin your reputation by sleeping around a whole lot and becoming a slutbag! Duh!!!

[lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com]

Oh, well I don't think Aidan and I could have ruined that reputation since it seems to be the one we had to begin with. Only, we're not slutbags, we're manwhores. There's a huge difference.

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

*gasps* And here I was defending you!!! And it's not manwhores, it's dirty, cheap, stupid, lame, pervy hornbags!!!

[lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com]

You say tomato...

And besides, we were totally shacking up before we got married, for a couple of years actually.

But hey, thanks for the thought!

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Guys are so stupid.

[lt-wes-janson.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm apparently an evil genius.

But if we're so stupid, then why are you engaged to one?

[and-you-love-me.livejournal.com]

Because he's one of the few who's not. Plus, I'm training him to be the most awesome fiancee, ever. He even wears suits now, thanks to me!!!

[orlandomuse.livejournal.com]

You'd better not be considering those marriage proposals, love! *grin*

A sister?

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Well, one guy said he owns a ranch, so it's pretty tempting, babe.

Yeah, so she claims. She said that Tobias Porter is her father and left her family when she was two and she's been trying to find out anything she could about his new family. But it would be easy enough to find out my dad's name, etc. It's odd but it does have me thinking.

[orlandomuse.livejournal.com]

I'll buy us a ranch if that's the deciding factor!

You could have DNA tests run.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Can you get me a ten-gallon hat?

That's a good idea. But what if she's just some nut? I don't want to encourage her. But... It's not as if it's completely implausible.

[orlandomuse.livejournal.com]

And buttless chaps.

Well, that's the point of doing the DNA test. If she's a nut, you'll know for certain.

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Oooh... And a bull whip?

Yeah... Maybe after the holidays I'll contact her. Unless we're too busy with our world traveling. It's something that can wait.

[orlandomuse.livejournal.com]

Yes dear. *grin*

Whatever you choose, I'll support you!

[ex-will-port106.livejournal.com]

Thanks, baby. I'm a little weirded out to think I might actually have family out there. I mean, I thought I might but now that it looks like it's more than a theory, it's kind of...exciting/weird/scary.
