Things Are Getting Complicated

pjthompsonOkay, Ramona's heading into a whole weird area I hadn't even anticipated. She does what with who???
The thing is, she let me know very clearly that she's tired of being the butt of jokes. Oh yeah, she realizes the comic potential of a woman who owns a chicken ranch full of chickens-as-not-to-be-eaten-pets and suspects aliens keep chicken-napping them. But she's letting me know she's more then a one-trick pony, so to speak. She's got feelings, she's got dimensions, she's had a lot of serious s**t happen in her life and if you'd had the same things happen, you might see aliens around every chicken coop. She doesn't mind a little good-natured laugher, but she doesn't want to be laughed at. Who does?
There's more to her then that, she wants me to know. I didn't realize how angry she was, for one, or how aware she was of what people were saying behind her back. I knew she was vulnerable, even childlike at times, but I didn't realize how much she hurt inside. And I knew she wanted a man in her life, but I didn't realize how much she resented me trying to palm her off on the ex-sailor who runs the donut shop. He's not a bad guy, but she wants me to develop his character a bit more before she'll consider him.
In the meantime, she has other donuts to fry. And she wants me to take her there. I never even suspected...
Don't know where we're headed, but it'll be interesting when we get there.
