Nooo, don't do this to me!

Attachment 25230

He's sent me two more messages since (after I sent him a message trying to shift the subject) and I can't even bring myself to look for fear of what he might say and the awkwardness it will cause.

It's the same friend I posted about before that I suspected felt more than friendly feelings toward me.
Thankfully my diversionary tactic worked and he didn't dwell on the subject.

I swear I missed that post......but at least he confirmed your suspicions?

So, why won't you give him a try?

I don't feel that way about him at all. Not even a little bit.

Well, rest up, lil lady. I'll be the adult tomorrow and you can have the crayons and coloring book.

In my little part of work we've all decided to let the place go to the wall, just so the pharmacists and managers can see what's happening. It's getting beyond a joke now.

Also because someone is 'ill' (yeah right) I am working 1-10 today. I'll miss dr who and pillar of the earth. FFS.

I can't figure out what to do for this flowchart...how to start my sketches...and how to go about doing this stupid wireframe. It's only been a week of school and i'm already not liking this project.

I think he's forgotten about me and i'm the one that's missing him.

Damn STRAIGHT you do! If you didn't exist, my random posts commenting on something I'd seen on Buffy wouldn't have expanded into full-blown rants that I knew someone out there actually enjoyed reading, and therefore when my mental state really started to take a nosedive, I would not have had that reason to let/make myself do something I enjoyed. I also would have had one less reason to keep up any connection with the outside world (and for awhile there, this was nearly all I did keep up, even sporadically), nor would I have had those "hey, look, you made someone laugh today" moments reminding me that everything I do isn't completely worthless despite what my mind was trying to tell me. Just by talking about a TV show on a message board, you helped someone across the country from you not completely lose herself to depression. Even the tiny things have much bigger impact on the world than you realize. I don't even have to think of anything beyond NC.com to come up with more. Just think of how many recipes and tips you've shared on here and how much fun people have had serving your recommendations to their friends, not to mention how happy all the compliments have made them! Plus, like I said before, you are awesome in general, and removing awesome makes the world suck more.

As for fiction recommendations, do you like classics or would you rather read something modern? Are you in the mood for something very emotionally driven or mainly concerned with action? Any favorite genres?

((((xcptnl)))) I've had what sounds like the same thing before. I forget what my mom said it was, perhaps temporary lymph swelling from something or other. It freaked me out until it went away. I think it's pretty likely that yours will just go away as well but I'm really glad you went to the doctor in case it doesn't.

Thanks rou, w_s and rural curls. I have put into my head that it will just go away! Power of positive thinking right???

This is the first weekend in forever that we have not had to do something in the am. We do have a thing tonight though. A Jack & Jill party. Not a fan.

Eek! I hope that was enough of a hint for him, Saria! It is so freaking awkward to turn down a friend. It makes me feel like I'm a bad person for not feeling the same way, even though I luckily haven't had to deal with a Nice Guy who would actually think such a thing. When the guy's not such a good friend, it's not so scary emotionally, but it makes up for it with even more awkward.

A couple months ago, I had this sort of peripheral guy in my group of friends who had been IMing me try to flirt by basically making all the things in our conversations sexual and it was really strange. We had to have a conversation that basically went "Flirting?" "Let's not" "But flirting?" "How about no" "...Flirting?" "I do not want this" "Awww, okay." And that's not even using the word "flirting" as shorthand for the actual flirting, we were seriously explicitly talking about the fact that he thought mutual flirting was going on and seemed to have gotten his wires crossed concerning whether I was joking when I said I didn't like it. He really did seem to be just very confused, though - the conversation actually started when he asked me if I was actually uncomfortable because he didn't want that. So, um, yeah...really awkward. At least with good friends, you have some sort of understanding of what's going on inside their heads, even if it does make your heart hurt? IDK, the only place I was really going with this story was Awkwardland.

Man, I'm up so late. Whatever. It's not like mornings ever don't suck. It's also not like being less groggy would make getting a flu shot any more fun.

I am really sorry this is happening to you! I've been there myself so I want to tell you what I learned (sorry in advance for getting all drippy hippy): the reason this isn't working is because it is not the right path for you. From what you've said about similar jobs, they were all in some ways not a good fit for you. You need to find your match!
I used to be a big fan of the Secret but honestly I think it can lead to a lot of pain when you can't bend the will of the universe (and let me tell you, BULLET DODGED always). The better approach is "if it is meant to be, it will be," My guru is Tony Robbins - I love his approach.
It's hard to keep standing after you've been knocked down so many times but I promise if you do and if you consider new options it will all come together for you.

The little boogers outside are playing kickball and kicked the ball at my window which woke up my napping now screaming baby. the ball landed on my balcony and one of the boogers climbed it (it's not high but still) and grabbed the ball. Then I heard another loud thud and I see the same ball on my balcony. They're using my balcony as a damn basketball hoop.. I have become that lady who shakes her fist at annoying kids. Next time I'm keeping the ball.
