It looks like we can put away our snowboots, at least for the moment. Snow in June was unexpected, but I suppose it's the City's typical style. Does it go both ways-- are there midwinter beach days, too?

I hope everyone's all right after yesterday... Curses like that, I think, lend some credence to the idea that the City in some way thrives on our emotions. Positive or negative. More of the latter than the former... maybe it's just common to hate your father. Disturbingly Oedipal, if that's the case...

Maybe I ought to get out more, maybe--

Is it just me, or have reports of new cases slowed down a little?

You hate yourself, don't you? Nobody punishes themselves like that unless they hate themselves.

He likes to shock people. He isn't a bad person, and he certainly isn't a bad doctor.

[thenormalsquint]

Piercings shock people. Dyeing your hair a color that's not found in nature shocks people. Calling a patient a hooker is just retarded.

[as_damaged]

I can't say anything to excuse his behavior.

But... it's a part of who he is. Somehow it helps him.

[thenormalsquint]

Helps him. Doesn't help me.

[as_damaged]

It does if no one else can figure out why you're sick.

[thenormalsquint]

Robert did.

[as_damaged]

Robert...

Then you didn't need House's help.

[thenormalsquint]

And I didn't need him calling me a hooker either.

[as_damaged]

Don't get me wrong-- he's an ass.

Just... you shouldn't take it personally.

sob. angela is SO not saying that chase told her about cameron

[thenormalsquint]

I didn't. I gave it right back to him.

But everybody isn't me. For that matter, I'm Angela Montenegro. I didn't give you my name in return.

thaaaat is probably v. wise on her part.

[as_damaged]

Well, good.

It's nice to meet you, Angela. You're a friend of Dr. Chase's?

[thenormalsquint]

Right now, I don't know. I hope so since I live next door to him and I might need to borrow a cup of sugar one day.

[as_damaged]

You know, I've never entirely understood that expression. How often does anyone find oneself short half a pound of sugar?

[thenormalsquint]

You make one and a half pound cakes and you can easily be short half a pound.

[as_damaged]

Only if you don't plan ahead.

[thenormalsquint]

I don't do planning for the future a whole lot. Not my thing.

[as_damaged]

Fair enough.
