andre flux too much to say. he gives four classes of women: jailbait bad luck not worth it trouble this classification is humorous and reduces many situations, but still.. your mindset disturbs me. i'll explain for the reader. dre dated helen for.. more than a year? more than two? they're both russian, artistic, crazy (like all russians i know), seem to fit well together. they spent months breaking up. according to dre, mostly at helen's behest. she wanted to date other people, he said. hinkley was especially difficult, as i remember, as they were supposed to be broken up, but weren't. it appeared to me that andre really didn't want it to happen, and it was put off for some time.. but it did. a month, a month and a half ago, some e made it around the house.. helen and john hooked up. john had been andre's best friend for.. longer than i knew either of them. at least five years. i don't think either of them had ever done e before. i tried to explain it to them.. but i think it was lost. they ended up together, loosely at first, then a bit tighter. dre at first seemed to take it well, but the facade cracked.. he talks a lot about beating up john, especially breaking his nose. i'vn't the faintest why he's so fixated on that image. dre says he used to be quite a bully when he lived in moscow. i've never seen a violent side of him. it's a bit hard to imagine, tall lanky violence, touched by graffiti and and a kitschy attraction to bureaucracy. but it's believable enough that i've spent time talking him down from it more than once, though i don't think he'd follow through on his own. i do feel he would if he got support from his friends. bah. he's also got himself currently involved with adrian (called hh). she's young, and i don't think she realizes she's just being used to try to hurt helen. andre would never admit that this is what he's doing or that he knows it won't work. he's just going to hurt himself, and hh. he told me himself she was a virgin as of two or three months ago. i don't know if that still holds. i don't got the guts to ask. john, helen, and dre are all going their separate ways come the fall. i'll still be here, in the house that brought them together and tore them apart. the focus that brought them here, and somehow responsible, in a disassociated way. it.. interests me how close i am to all three, now, as separate people, where as before they were one group i longed to know better.. i wish them all luck. they'll have to answer to themselves soon enough. 040719 ... newme the giant 040719 ... flux andrei 040812 what's it to you? who go blather from
