I've thought about being a music promoter.
I'm not sure I could handle the stress, but I can't sing worth a damn and I love music, so it seemed like an option that would allow me to be involved without having to show my (lack of) talents.

But it seems exhausting.

[And what an understatement that is. It's more than exhausting--he can tell as much even from his outsider's view. There's something about it that tries to suck out the soul, and it seems that no one is safe.]

these days I've been thinking musical reporter might be better.

It's definitely not for everyone. On the best days, it was like herding cats. On the worst, it was herding cats on speed.

[hey, she can still joke about stuff like that. That has to be a good thing.

Well, if it hadn't been hard to hold her tongue before, it's certainly gotten so now]

If the opportunity presents itself, you should go for it. You'd certainly be a lot better than a few I had the misfortune of having to work with it.

I only ever had to deal with Malcolm, Ray and the others on pot or mushrooms. I don't even want to imagine them on speed.

[Of course, he hasn't been through the living hell Mandy has, but it's still something of a thrill--at least, at this stage in his emotional development.]

it must have been terrible for you. Everything that happened, I mean. Drugs are fine, but when they start affecting your daily life...

[He shudders.]

I'm just glad you're still here. So many people let it ruin their lives.

I'm just glad I wasn't the one who had to deal with the cleaning bills after that. The plus side of bowing out of that side of things after awhile. I did a lot of 'vitamin shots' when things were busy and I had to stay awake to make sure everything got done, and fuck knows what was actually in those things, but they weren't actually any fun for me.

I don't think they've found a word to describe that particular sort of hell. I'm still not sure how I feel about the fact he survived the shit.

[not that she's sure 'Tommy' is actually squeaky clean like he pretends, maybe he's still got a habit, but he's alive and that's enough to make her sick sometimes, and she hates herself in moments for that considering how much she loved him]

Yeah. Well. I'd like to say that was a conscious decision, but it wasn't entirely. I'm fairly certain even if I hadn't wound up here I'd be fine, me and the cockroaches, impossible to get rid of.

[she has to make that sound funny, because otherwise it skirts the really unglamorous parts of heartbreak and at the very least she would need to be paying him to hear that]
