Relationships

Humans are creatures of habit. We might claim to seek novelty and adventure, but ultimately we always want to do it on our own terms. We want controlled experiences, controlled surprises, controlled adventures, and anything that is truly surprising is at least alarming to begin with. And I think that this explains why after the 'excitement' of the last few months, I've been happy to settle back into a routine.

Get up, get dressed, maybe pick up a pastry if I'm over at Miranda's. Go to work, have lunch with the guys in CRT, leave the Academy and more often than not, meet up with Miranda or someone else to go for a run in Polygon Park. Cook dinner, read, watch something, play a game, go to bed. On the weekends, I might go to a museum, or view a gallery, or watch some PCAG events.

It's remarkably easy to do this when you're in a relationship with someone, you fall into patterns very quickly and because there's always someone to talk to, or just someone to be silent with, it's different from being on your own. If you get two people who fit together well, these habits are self-reinforcing. It's comfortable.

The last few days have been a bit different, since Miranda went off to a sports camp in the north to help teach kids and do some running training. I remember coming back to my apartment on the first day and thinking, 'what now?' Before I was going out with Miranda, I might just call a friend and arrange to meet up, but it seemed rather forced since I hadn't done for a few months. I supposed I could call up Violet, who was normally happy to do something, but I recalled Caine saying they were going out to a gig that evening, so that was out of the window (I didn't really want to disturb them, anyway - they seem to be getting on pretty well). Instead, I just tidied things up and went for a particularly long run.

Repeat. And then today I realised that I hadn't posted here for a long time. There hasn't been much call to, to be honest. I haven't heard anything from Helena Frye at all - in fact, she seems to have disappeared from the public eye again. I imagine she was getting a bit sick of all the news stories featuring her.

Helena Frye is related to the other reason why I'm posting here. I've received a few emails about Anna and Isaac Cymbalisty, asking me to investigate. I have to say that I'm a little reluctant to, since Anna hasn't said anything to me about it, although she has been little a bit distracted recently. So - I might send a note to Helena, for what it's worth, but I don't want to do anything serious about this until I hear more.

 		Violet could be updating, is what she could be doing. I'm beginning to think Miranda abducted her. If Kurt weren't being so self-pitying, he could call her up now.

Actually, Miranda may have taken the diary page up north. After inducing Cymbalisty's overdose. In my delusional spec world, she's an AI and has no fingerprints, anyway.

Absolutely. Where in the "north" is she, anyway? Miranda is dodgy, if you ask me. Kurt should ditch her and call Violet.

Or me, if she's busy. Wink

 		I may be being a bit picky here but I did notice that Kurt didn't mention showering or bathing in his routine.

Perhaps that's the reason why he has difficulty getting a girlfriend. I wonder if he got personal hygiene products for his Winter Solstice gift? Laughing Laughing

(Please don't shoot me down, I'm just joking Very Happy )

But I wouldn't trust Miranda as far as I could kick her.
