No points for sophistication there, Tiff. Or manners.

Ok, I have to post and whine.

So, I was at blockbuster about fifteen minutes ago getting A Clockwork Orange because I have no life and no parties to go to or whatever, and who should I run into but the last person I wanted to see when I was alone on a friday. So he saw me and said hi, and I was too shocked and embarassed to really respond (and his girlfriend was there) and I just kind of ducked and after a minute went, 'hi' like the loser I am. And then I walked away, cringing and wondering why I hadn't at least tried to not slouch or be a moron. (backround: this guy has known me forever and I have never been able to figure out if he's being nice or mocking me when he says something. It's driven me up the wall for years) So I was in line to pay for it and I kept looking back over my shoulder to see if he was looking at me, but every time I looked he was just looking away. We did that for a minute or two and then he caught my eye, gave me this big sarcastic salute and grinned. I kind of recovered and rolled my eyes at him, but it was still embarassing. I'm such a dork.

And thank you for letting me rant.

awwww. do you like this guy som?

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/12/04 at 8:27pm

No.

It's just bad because I know he'll find a way to bring it up on Monday in that awfully loud voice of his.

And I know it's stupid to whine about but it bugs me.

i think you need a make-over! not necessarily a physical make-over - just a madonna-esque reinvention!

[ponine24601]

Posted: 11/12/04 at 8:33pm

insomniak-ooo ok. well, tell him to shut up if he does.

tiff- what the heck??

[insomniak]

Posted: 11/12/04 at 8:33pm

How?

I'm not terribly articulate in person, not around him anyway.

The reason it's going to be hard for you to have any friends is because everyone at school has a preconceived notion of what you're like - accurate or not.

So what you need to do is let your "real" self come out. I'm guessing that you're probably pretty mousy and quiet at school, whereas you're - well, you - on here! So be how you are on here in your real life! But you can't just expect people to notice slight differences - you need to recreate yourself so people know the real you. New clothes, new attitude, a smile, outgoing - THAT'S what you need to do. You either go 100% or 0% to make an impression. Go 100%.

Seriously.
