Beware: The Chibis Have Taken Control!

So... sometimes Twitter kind of sucks. I mean, other than all the obvious ways. It allows you to feel just close enough and just involved enough in another person's life that you occasionally feel their pain as if you have a right to, even if you aren't even passing acquaintances in real life.

Josh Lamon and James Reichel broke up. Things were all ooey-gooey sweet two days ago and they were planning Thanksgiving together.

And then yesterday we get this:

Taking a break from Twitter as I put the pieces back together. Love you all so much.

Not gonna lie. Difficult times at the moment. But a surprise visit from @vrayskull did make me smile. #littlethingscount

And this:

To address the 100's of tweets: Yes, Josh and I broke up. Yes, I am okay. No, I am not suicidal. Life goes on and already is. Love you all.

I damn near cried.

I don't know James Reichel except from following him on Twitter. I don't know Josh Lamon except for meeting him once or twice through Hair and knowing that I made him happy once that I was writing a paper on a topic he felt was important. I know nothing about them as a couple beyond the unbelievably sweet Tweets they sent back and forth to each other on a near constant basis.

And yet I still almost cried when I found out they broke up. I don't know what happened and I doubt I ever will. I don't even feel right about wanting to offer sympathy because who needs that from some random girl you don't know when your heart is already sore? Who needs salt rubbed in that wound?

But still... I'm actually a little upset. And I feel stupid about it. And I wish I could give them both giant hugs or at least a sympathy Tweet.

...and I dread Broadway secrets this week. *sigh* I'm starting to hate that comm.

Bleh. Now I'll never get back on track with my fic. Stupid Twitter.
