what probably truly is an unhealthy love
so the other day someone asked me what a firm husband is. and other people have asked me that in the past. and since i mentioned it a couple of days ago, and haven't had much to say lately b/c i am too busy sleeping the 16 hours a day i am not at work, i figure i will address that here. yes, i am just going to cut and paste my explanatory email here. only one person has read that email (ok, 2. i forwarded it to saunders b/c this is now what i do, now that i'm one of those people who can't do anything w/o help) and he doesn't read this (and neither does saunders), so you wouldn't even know that if i didn't tell you, except i am always concerned that it will be very clear from the way it is written (b/c i really do this quite often) and well you're the person reading my blog anyways, and i call the shots here.
re: I still want to know who or what your firm husband is.
well that's part of the problem, silly, i don't know who my firm husband is either. so i "fall in love" with people very easily. i say that in quotes b/c i obviously haven't fallen in love with them. but i like most people. and i have a very good adoring face. i've been using it since high school to act over-infatuated with boys as a way of drawing laughs from friends. actually, that may all be irrelevant to the firm husband stuff. well, maybe it's relevant as background. but i decide that i love all sorts of people. i loved 4 of my 5 professors this semester, just as an example. i don't know if other people have firm husbands. something tells me they don't. i think that you can "love" people from many different firms, and you can even love many people from one firm, and you can have multiple potential firm husbands, but you can only have one firm husband. obviously from the firm to which you are going. i guess if you are splitting the summer, you can have two. i actually had the equivalent of a firm husband when i was interviewing for a job out of undergrad, but it didn't work out so well for me b/c i didn't get an offer. but i had planned the rest of my life with beau bradstreet within approximately 2 minutes of meeting him. i still mourn the fact that i didn't get that job and my future was so cruelly snatched from me by the people at greenwich associates. anyways, i guess what it boils down to is that your firm husband is the man at your firm that you have decided you will marry. even tho you clearly won't. i picked this guy b/c we were dreadfully obnoxious to one another right off the bat. i asked him to explain securities law to me b/c mimi said she thought i would like it and he mocked me and i replied with biting remarks and on it went. which is how i usually am, but you don't really expect it at law firm wooing events where everyone is to be on their best behavior and you feel comfortable enough to act like this. which i think is partially a credit to my firm. anyways, sparks flew. i'm not sure he noticed them. maybe they were the sparks of everyone else in the room grinding to a halt and desperately wishing they hadn't given me an offer already. oh well. whatever. but i have not met anyone who rang any bells as being this guy and i have just searched the web page photos and i don't see anyone who i think is him and i am heartbroken. what if he was the only man that might ever love me and now he's gone to fried frank or clifford chance or arnold and porter or what is that one in dupont where the people are supposed to be pretty obnoxious and i used to know the kid who was a paralegal there who was friend's with liesl's friend? well that one.
