We try not to (be wonderful), but, y’know…it’s just so HARD. xD

I’ve found that spitting on anyone who tries to engage me in conversation is the best cure. A few weeks of that at most and your wonderful status will be reduced to neutral or worse.
On the rebound only requires that it’s over. Doesn’t matter who actually did the dumping. Thing is they aren’t really over, just until the next time Dorothy decides it’s on again.
It’s definitely a character flaw. One that’s been hinted at since the early days, when the whole relationship started.
I kind of like it – less interesting if she really was the perfect cinnamon roll.

The only way to break the pattern is to cut out the middlewoman and just have Walky date Danny.
Sorry that would be “dis”. “Diss” is a variant of the word that has managed to gain traction since the ’80s ended and has now become the standard spelling in most uses. Now I’m’a stop illin’ ’cause I gotta get to work. ;D
Actually, the meat and carbs of the pizza are a better choice for an active lifestyle, Amber. the protein helps build muscle fibers and the carbs help with fueling cellular action.
Yeah I was confused why she thought she’d need more veggies because of her “active lifestyle”. Well, I guess college students aren’t nutrition experts.
Well, I’d say she said it probably because of how much fat a normal pizza contains and how a pizza with only meat and cheese doesn’t contain many vitamins…
That is to say, pizza in itself isn’t bad, but you’d still need complementary nutrition in the form of greens. The tomato sauce doesn’t really count in that regard.
A whole italian style deep-freeze pizza gets you around 800-1000 kcals with maybe 15 g of meat (if you don’t believe me, get of the meat parts and weight them) and if the stuff that looks like cheese contains any proteins depends on if it’s real cheese or not.
A fresh-made pizza like from Galasso’s might have more protein because of real cheese and more meat, but still, compared to the total amount of kalories it’s not much.
When i’m working full time, when school isn’t in session, a large portion of my daily caloric intake is from pizza. The take-and-bake across the street from my shop gives us 50% off, and even packing in lunch, I still need more calories in a 9-12 hour shift. These aren’t your normal ‘fast food’ pizzas, though, they’re hand made gourmet jobs you cook yourself. With the exception of “pepperoni trio”, they’re all quite healthy.
Walky, Amber, you both need to climb down off that garbage roof, go back to your rooms and start over. You are not doing yourselves any favors by being like this, you both have people that you find wonderful, that make you happy and you want to make happy. Standing up on the roof eating pizza isn’t fixing that, it’s just putting it off.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to throw more stones inside my glass home, still waiting for the roof to collapse in on me.
Oh my heck, thank you! Dorothy and Danny are absurdly good for Walky and Amber. I just wish they could all get their heads on straight. My poor dumb children.
…goddam it Amber. Can you go a single scene without revealing how screwed up in the head you are?
I’m not blaming Amber for her issues here, but this just strikes me as spreading her warped views to someone else.
And I mean that. Wally didn’t bring up feelings of inadequacy that Amber is commicerating over, Amber is projecting her own feelings in a manner that places the blame on Dorothy’s feet.
The lesson she’s imparting to Walky, by using the examples she does, is that his problems are a matter of nature (of the scorpion and the frog variety) and so Walky cannot improve himself, shouldn’t try, and shouldn’t seek a relationship with anyone “better” than him because of it.
…As I said, Amber is projecting her own issues. …she is seeing a psychologist at this point right? Has that been mentioned since the stabbing?
What they’re BOTH doing is sharing a common frustration they have. Neither of them actually BLAMES Dorothy (or Danny) for being so great. But when you’re fucked up and struggling, it’s hard being around someone who seems to have their shit completely together. Even if it’s only the shit you’re struggling with they have a handle on, and they’re still a mess otherwise.
It can be very, very hard to avoid comparing yourself to them, and your failures to their successes. Having the other person on a pedestal doesn’t help, either.
Amber isn’t projecting her issues onto Walky’s situation. They have the same issue here. They’re commiserating. That’s the whole point of garbage roof, and it’s basically how support groups work
He’s actually been VERY good at it with Amber. It often wasn’t enough, but he did great.
Even if he weren’t though, it’s how Amber sees him. She feels like he’s mastered the shit she’s constantly fucking up. It doesn’t matter if that perception is accurate, she can’t shake it.
….did she just imply that her stomach size doesn’t correspond to her diet, immediately after saying she needs to eat more vegetables? Seems like there’s a chance it corresponds just fine.

how dare she be a perfect cinnamon roll

Alas, Walky toils in far too cold and dark a world for such cinnamoned purity as she

Too good, too pure

The only one pure enough to deserve Dorothy’s cinnamon purity, imho, would be…Joyce. 🙂

No one is worthy of her cinnamony goodness! She must remain forever untouched and untouchable, forever alone in her perfectness!

Does it count as on the rebound when they both dumped him?
Legitimately asking…

Did you mean “scow” or “scowl”? One being a boat and the other being an angry facial expression.
Because if you meant “scowl”…well played.

I meant a pun on the two, which I then misspelled.

Obviously you spelled it that way to be kool.

As a fan of SS Garbage Skowl I insist the original spelling remain intact :p

I believe a “diss” is defined a form of insult that “the kids” do to one another “these days”.

Wait. Did you just say Danny is great?
Rabid Rabbit
Danny is… supportive. He’s not always very good at it, but when in possession of all the information, he does want to do the right thing.
He’s terrible at it, but he does have sort of the instinct that would allow him to be great if he weren’t, you know, terrible.
