"Living Groups is over." Or so I thought. LG was begun early my
freshman year because I was lonely; having no one to talk to, I opened up to
the world (wide web) at large. The first thing I posted on the web was a
bio sheet of TeleMuse, describing him as the 10th, and sole male, muse,
currently residing on Mt. Olympus, living a lonely existence because none of
the other muses would talk to him. One of the first chapters of LG dealt with
the happiness I found when I finally found the courage to begin eating lunch
with a new group of people in highschool. Both of this arcs found completion
in Calliope, who was not only one of those popular kids in highschool who I
so longed to be liked by, but who had named herself after a muse and happily
associated with TeleMuse.
For the last several months, I've had to put LG on hiatus. For a while,
there was no room for it to exist. TM got the girl and I, for my part, am no
longer a basket case of longings. It no longer "hurts too much to see them
happy"; I no longer have any need of vicarious living. And so it fills me
with joy to see freaks like me get girls like Winnie Cooper; I look at him
and think, 'Yah, it feels good, doesn't it? It *was* possible...'
LG will be back, though.
