the darkness has not overcome it

i thought of that too. that's part of why i feel torn. because aren't we responsible for the misconceptions that we allow for as well as the things we actually say? if this were a different kind of issue and i allowed her to assume that i gave two shits about that dog she could be very hurt/pissed when she found out otherwise. in this particular situation she is not likely to ever know, but i think it is worth considering.
