issues

was talking to gro yesterday
we had an interesting chat via IM
we are a lot alike, in some ways
and totally different in others

we started in ems together, way back in '89
long time ago
and both went on to become a paramedic

we talked abt various things, yesterday
(he was at 6, and i was at 29)
abt ems issues
abt relationships
and abt body image issues
and he says to me:
"usually, when someone asks questions like that, they've just had issues w/ someone they've been seeing or are interested in"
and my answer was:
"nah, am just being grumpy, thats all, and not liking my body, and wishing i had enough will power to do something abt it, and enough will power to work thru my hangups, thats all"

and then of course, the pager went
and i had to leave
