Library, 2/28

Angela is behind the desk, listening to Throwing Muses on her iPod and staring into space.

She can help with your book-related needs. Cheerfulness is optional, right?

[OOC: Lyrical comment threads are from the Throwing Muses' University album. It's a Kristin Hersh kinda day.]

"No, but we were talking about it a couple weeks ago and he's thinking about it, I think," Rory replied. "And yeah, weird."

She giggled. "I do, don't I? Though you might think differently if you met Dean. He's...he's like a less shy, less broody Anakin. Only without the Jedi thing, obviously. But very unlike Jess or Logan or, um, anyone else I've dated. But then again, he was my first boyfriend, so maybe the type wasn't established then."

"Or maybe you have two types?" Angela suggested. "The Jess/Logan type, and the Dean/other people type. Or maybe you just like who you like, and there isn't a type. Is Logan like Jess other ways, other than not playing well with others?"

She sighed. "I may think about this stuff too much."

"Logan and Jess are very similar, yeah. Like, with the way they react to things. They both have...um...anger issues. With the whole acting out, teenage rebel thing they do," Rory sighed. "I think I do have the two types, and when I break up with one, I go to the other, you know? Though I did go from Jess to Logan, but I had a whole summer between that. So I don't know. I think I might be overthinking this."

"I think we're allowed to overthink on boys," Angela shrugged. "Actually? There might be a law that we have to."

She leaned against the counter, arms crossed. "So ... with the flinging? Are you thinking of yourself as single?"

"We need to overthink a few guys. Because some of them just do not make sense to me," Rory said, shaking her head. "Most of them, really."

She sighed yet again. "I'm...thinking of myself as not single, no. But I guess we're on a break, or something? I don't know. I'm confused. And I don't think I want to do the flingy thing, but I'm not sure. I mean...."

She lowered her voice. "I don't know how I feel about staying committed to someone worlds away who may or may not come back, you know? It's...confusing. I mean, until last night I had no doubts, but then Jess called and everything got kind of muddled."

"Guys so do not make sense, ever." Angela scrunched her nose, considering this. "Okay, my friend Ricky back home does, kind of, but he's gay.

"And I can't tell you what to do on the fling, commitment, Jess thing. Just ... don't do anything just because you're hurting, okay? I'm pretty sure that's a bad idea."

"Maybe gay guys make sense," Rory speculate, "because they're kind of like girls?"

"And no, I know. I'm just going to see what Jess wants, anyway. For all I know, he just wants to borrow books, or something."

"Maybe. Or because they aren't trying to hit on us," Angela said. "There's more honesty."

She smirked at Rory's next statement, though. "Ror? I know I don't know Jess, but no way did he drive six hours, minimum, to borrow a book. Unless there's a serious library shortage in Connecticut."

"That's what he does, though," Rory said, shaking her head and laughing a little. "He's the only person I've met who's as insane over reading as I am. He's the one who got me into writing in the margins and stuff."

Angela had to grin at that. "Okay, that's kind of adorable."

"We had our moments," Rory smiled. "He's not a bad guy, really. My mom'd argue that point, but he's really not horrible."
