Behind the curve

featherynscaleEvery now and again it becomes abundantly clear to me that I've been in deconditioning since leaving high school, and that there's still a long way to go on that front.
I got an email this morning from Kryn, vintage friend and ex-sometime-girlfriend. She is moving to Washington from California. The last time I saw her was some years ago, and she and her husband were moving to California from Florida. She wanted to know if I would go, at one point, and be their girlfriend. I declined, largely on the grounds of "people don't do that". (Not solely on those grounds, but largely.) Anyway. Things change, apparently. Now she is leaving the husband, and I am in a situation not entirely unlike the one I chose not to enter back in the day.
If you think it unlikely that I would avoid a relationship because it was nontraditional, consider this: Once upon a time, I broke up with D. primarily because he preferred not to get an 8-5 Corporate America job, and would rather earn his money in a more modular and fliexible fashion. Not only that, he was anti-capitalist in general. *Shock*
I think I've moved quite a bit since then. But still, always behind the curve. And it doesn't end. There's more ahead than there is behind.
