'War Stories'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? ArghMeara, I wouldn't say that at all. I think she really liked you, and was pissed that you kicked her ass with a migraine. but the smiley face says it all. I say ask if she wants an escort to big shindig.
(Of course, I give the caveat that I am **horrible** at reading women. I mistake friendliness for flirting. And still haven't figured out when I am actually being flirted with)
...I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? Argh.
I read it as complimenting your spicy brains and looking forward to seeing you again. She may have read you "rematch or just say hi" as being a bit equivocal and so might be following your lead.
Sigh. And of course, in addition to trying to parse her response, I have to figure out what to respond to it! Without sounding weird or desperate or stalkery, because as I said, I know I'll run into her again...
So Merlin has started pooping behind the sofa. The Girl's friend recommended phoning the local cat shelter for advice - apparently they have pet behaviour specialists available to help people who have adopted animals. That's nice. Otherwise life is fairly normal, except that bag-of-nerves hates-public-speaking me has signed up for a research storytelling thing where, after a couple of workshops, I have to perform a story relating to my research. First workshop is tonight and I spent all of yesterday working on my story so it had better be OK. (I'm actually rather excited.)
Anne, good luck with your licencing exam!
Congrats, Sean!
smonster, I wish you unbelievably awesome and incredibly exciting meeting/dates with Marty Sue.
meara, I think she sounds interested, in a laid-back-for-now, see-how-it-goes way.
meara,
I would take her to be kind of interested, and curious to know how things go the next time you see her. She probably is wondering if the migraine was an excuse and is letting you make the next move to see if you remain interested.
Ryan has reached the questioning phase. I was expecting "Why?" Instead I keep hearing "How to do that?" He has a practical bent, this boy.
Jake was always big on "What that for?" And then there came the day when he turned around and looked at me. "What you for?"
My niece has coined the term "alcoholocaust". I like it, except for how she was using it to describe last weekend.
Dear "best friend" who I never hear from,
It would have been nice to at least give me a heads up that you were going to use me as a reference, and that I may need to write up something on why you are qualified for a job.
No love,
me
So, 2 days of on my feet, running around, loading out the musical, and then today loading in the summer rep system, makes a guy tired. Having a meeting at 4pm, and all of a sudden sitting still... yeah... not so good for the eyelids. Must. Stay. Awake.
