I'm now left to not picking up the phone. I'm a bad liar. It's hard enough coming up with any excuse, much less a believable one for why I do not want to hang out with you. Heck, even with friends with whom I don't have the awkwardness of them liking me as more than a friend, I don't hang out with them every week, which is how it would be if I didn't find some way of getting out of outings with you!

Curlyminx · 04-20-2011, 05:05 PM

You want to drink coffee without Speckla and I?

You are welcome to do so from the comfort of your own home.

Saria · 04-20-2011, 05:11 PM

Haha, I guess I just feel smothered. He is a friend, but that's it, and though I think he knows he is just a friend, he's doing that thing where you still want to spend as much time as possible with the object of your affection. Meanwhile hanging out with him feels like hanging out with a ticking time bomb at this point, due to blow up in my face anytime now. He'll either come out with it, or get the wrong idea, and the awkwardness will increase tenfold!

It's just a little frustrating because she's SO smart--she knows all her colors, numbers, letters, and she's starting to read like crazy. Yet she's so daydreamy and doesn't pay attention in class because she's off in her own little world. I feel torn; I could hope for the best and put her in K5 next year, but what if she can't focus and gets lost? Then I'll have to put her back and that seems worse than holding her back to begin with. I just don't know what to do.

I don't think there is anything you could have done to affect her maturity issues. She'll mature when she matures...not much can be done to hurry that.

BUT...From what you've been saying about her the last 5 years, she sounds really bright. I'd probably send her anyway. I think she'll surprise you and knuckle down.

For a boy with maturity issues, I'd probably keep him home an extra year.

Your brand of crazy shows up in the most unexpected of places, providing such delightful amusement. It's like a wonderful little bonus gift of wackadoo. Never change, loony, never change.

Strange!

Wanna be friends? We don't have to hang out.

Sure. You brew a pot of coffee at your house, I'll brew one here and we'll not drink coffee together.

deal!

Is it ok if I just drink a coca-cola? I'm not big on coffee.

I'm willing to make tea for myself though!

Yum. Are you willing to not make a cup of tea for me??

Sounds good.

My thought all started because I have recently been invited to a babyshower and I'm not going to go. The person who invited me is nice enough and I have no issues with her but I just don't have the desire to go. I have been asked why by someone else...I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "I just don't want to go."

I can be in a room full of people and I won't really talk to anyone or interact on my own. I will speak if spoke to. I will be pleasant enough, answer any questions, but am quiet beyond that. I'm not stuck up, not depressed or anti/asocial...I just don't really feel like interacting if I don't have to.

kayb · 04-21-2011, 01:10 AM

With the new app I am on here more but post less.

Guys, Ninja- in all her awesomeness- made me cry. She is awesome guys!

I have hay fever and it sucks money balls.

spring1onu · 04-21-2011, 08:55 AM

It's absolutely impossible that I'm getting a fever blister the day before my husband comes home.

Really? Really?! Really. I better be wrong.

TRBL · 04-21-2011, 09:46 AM

Minxy, Speckla, Saria & everyone.. can I join you in sitting alone drinking ("coffee") at the same time?

Kayb - yes Ninja is just a special shade of awesome.. I think it is a pink shade.

Spring-wan -you are wrong, it's not a fever blister, you will be free and clear to lay a big huge wet smackaroo on your hubby as soon as he steps off the plane

<- I know its supposed to be a toque, but it just looks like an upsidedown butt to me.

ninja dog · 04-21-2011, 10:04 AM

Oh, hush, kayb. I have simply repaid (in small part) the remarkable kindness shown to me by members of the site, including the one who is still keeping her middle name a secret, though everyone else, including me, has shared.

Oh, my head! I haven't done that in a while.

ninja dog · 04-21-2011, 10:06 AM

I do have a secret yen for pink in unexpected places.

Okay, that sounded weird.

I meant shoes, mostly. Or gadgets. Like a mixer. Or a an espresso maker.

Ahem.

I'm admitting right now as a disclaimer that I have a hangover, and apologize in advance for any subsequent stupidity, of which I suspect there may be plenty.

Love,
Ninja

Saria · 04-21-2011, 10:07 AM

Now who would do such a thing?

Seriously, NC.com dim sum meeting.

ninja dog · 04-21-2011, 10:12 AM

I like dim sum.

I think.

Saria · 04-21-2011, 10:20 AM

The trouble with dim sum is you really need a large group to maximize the experience. At least four people are needed to make it happen. Assuming I could somehow manage to get my family to Flushing in the morning, it would have to be on a weekend, which means contending with the crowds. And then there would be dealing with my dad, who wouldn't eat a single thing because he is sure any food other than Dominican is bad for his stomach (yet, it does not occur to him that downing two donuts at DD is not a great idea, along with a bunch of other selective bs).

SarcasmIsBeauty · 04-21-2011, 10:26 AM

What is dim sum?

I'm tired I just want to go home & sleep

Saria · 04-21-2011, 10:35 AM

Dim sum is the term for small Chinese dishes that were served to accompany tea, but now the tea is sort of secondary and the food is the main focus.
