I've seen comparisons to when Matt left, and I'm just like, um, stop that right now. I feel really weird about them rerecording or doing new songs, because according to what we'd heard, the album was done, right? So they're taking away the music he was involved in, too? OW OW OW, that's really painful.

I'm glad it exists, because there's a happy ending, but I couldn't have written it, or, no, it would have turned out more mean if I'd known it really was true. It's like--I got angry when Brian left, because, you know, and I sort of got over that, but no, I didn't, and now all that hurt is coming back (thank god they still talk, that made me really happy).

Wow, incoherent. Also, wow, overinvested. Time to make dinner.
