Spoony, if I were 16 and in your area, I'd definitely be rejected by ya. Wink

Today's confession: I am about to go into a serious debate and I'm Soooooooooooooo not prepared. I've overcome a lot of my public speaking issues, but when I am this unprepared I usually begin stuttering and fail. I need to study some this weekend and then I'll be up-to-snuff.

I'll be adding other comments later, but I just wanted to add to the "Spoony's cute" commentary. Big Grin

Edit: The whole fight thingie:

Ah, c'mon guys'n'gals! I disagree with DOA's original comment immensely, but no reason to totally go off on him. Smile I think he just over-simplifies the situation because of the reasons already mentioned (not knowing about the people he's generalizing's true offline nature, etc.), but I've noticed this from him before so it's nothing new. Just let him say his piece and move on with the confessions. Smile

Another confession:
I sooooooooooo want to buy a new digital camera and I'll probably buy one, but I know I shouldn't. Oh Well

OK, so some of you might remember this one girl I used to like, who gave me that "we're just friends" schtick, and then I didn't talk to her for the better part of a year. Anyway, last month, she ims me telling me she changed her screen name, then we get to talking and it turns out she hates engineering and wants to transfer to the school I transfered to....hmm...

For some reason I think I posted this already...

Spoony: That's cool. I enjoy talking to new people... As long as they're not shouting "Hello" and banging on my counter. Laughing

GAT: Well, I don't know what to tell you. I have a tendency to read too much into these situations, so my choice would be to err on the side of safety and hold off on professing your undying love for her until you can get a better feel for the situation.

Yeah I'm definitely waiting. I don't know if she's even going to transfer anyway, and even if she did I would be really really cautious.

Yeah, it might be too early to interpret this as anything more than it is. But I still would like to say that I hope things turn out the way you want them to!

I, too, was given the "we're just friends" schtick by a girl I liked. The only reason I told her I liked her was because she had been giving me all these signals that I interpreted as her liking me as well. Anyway, it turns out that "she never liked me as more than a friend". Whatever. I am really pissed at her now and I have no idea what she was thinking. She lead me on so badly that I find it hard to believe that she never liked me. Either she did, or she's completely unaware of her own actions.

I've been told by a couple of females I know that they sometimes flirt with guys and don't even realize it. She was probably just unconsciously doing this and didn't mean to lead you on.

Of course, I'm not a telepath, so I can't speak for her. Wink

Again I might be reading too far into things, but I think it was more than just harmless flirting. But that's long, boring story that doesn't need to be on these foroums.

And I wish I were a telepath so I could figure out what the hell she is thinking...

Yeah I think that's what happened to me. I was sort of sucked in by the fact that she played Counter-Strike...COME ON! How could you not fall for a girl who plays CS?

I can't stand timid, inhibited, introverted and generally weak people—namely those who lack any form of confidence, who are so excruciatingly self-conscious, shy and awkward, who are afraid to speak their mind, who waste all their time bending over backwards to better suit others, who can't do anything but moan and complain about how miserable they are and how depressing their lives are, and who let everyone trample over them because their such pushovers.

People like that are just totally pathetic. When I see those kinds of people walking around school, I just want to go up to them and say something like, "For God's sake—why are you wasting your life away? Get over your awkwardness, stop being so withdrawn, and start living life! You only live once!"

These people are just a waste of time. Needless to say, I completely avoid them. After all, who in their right mind would want to waste their own lives hanging around such boring people? ...no thanks! Red Face

What did I tell you about trolling? Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that when people "harass" you, it may be because of comments like this? You're basically asking for a backlash when you make these comments, so why are you surprised when you get it? Next time, think of the consequences before you post, or you'll end up with a second warning.

As for the arguing, please keep it down unless you want to see this thread locked. As always, take it to IMs, PMs, or email if you have a problem with another forum member.

There are times that I wish I didn't have my rules of conduct. But, I am glad I do, she deserves that.

I have been in a haze of euphoria for a month. I know I haven't been very responsive to my other friends. I need to work on that.

I am in love with Beth and she helped knockdown my remaining trust issues. My trust issues were my biggest problem, but now they are dissipating.

If they hate you because you don't smoke pot, then they're really not your friends, are you?
