I keep telling my mom about this guy and the other creepers, but she just tells me that it's rude to talk about people behind their backs and that I should show them love and compassion. She says, "If they follow you, it's because they don't have anyone else and they need attention! Welcome them into your circle of friends!" She says unless I'm being physically harmed, ignoring people is selfish. But then what do you expect from a Sunday school teacher who also teaches elementary school band? Haha...

But yeah, it makes me get a bit disillusioned with life when I'm surrounded by annoying people. It's like being the ringmaster of some kind of freak show all the time. I should at least get a cool ringmaster jacket and top hat for my troubles, you know?

There's a difference between lonely people and truly creepy people. You also have to trust your instincts. If he ever gets to the point where you feel uncomfortable or threatened, take it to someone else. I definitely see what she's saying, but sometimes there is a reason why socially inept people don't have friends. It's one thing to be nice to that person, but it's a whole other thing to try and introduce them into your circle of friends.

Ah, Schmerg. I know how you feel. I had 2 girls stalk me like that and it's very creepy. The best thing to do is to make it very clear to this boy that you feel very uncomfortable with the way he follows you around and clings to you. You don't have to word it in a mean way, but you should just make it very clear to him that you feel like he is not respecting your boundaries.

In my case, I had a girl in my orchestra class who desperately wanted a boyfriend. She asked out pretty much every guy with a pulse. Everyone from the hot quarterback to the geeky computer nerd. All of them would reject her. She would obsess over them for another week or so and they would rudely tell her to buzz off. Well...I was one of the only remaining guys that she had left to ask out, so she finally asked me out. I politely told her that I wasn't interested, and she demanded to know why. It made me feel SOOOOOOOOOO awkward on SOOOOOOOOOOO many levels. Whenever ANY girl asks me out.. I feel SOOOOOO awkward, but when I am asked for an in depth explanation, it makes me feel even more awkward. I sort of gave her BS answers like "I'm not interested in being in a relationship" or "I don't have to for a girlfriend".

Soon after, she somehow found my phone number (don't ask me how...to this day, I still don't know) and she would text me NONSTOP and follow me ALL over school. I tried being nice... but I eventually cracked. I told her the truth. I said something along the lines of "[Her name], I really don't feel comfortable with this. I don't mean to hurt you in any way, but the way you follow me and constantly text me makes me feel awkward. We don't have to be enemies, but I don't think the relationship you have with me is very healthy". To my surprise, she reacted very well and respected my boundaries. We're not great friends, but we're not enemies. Just don't feel badly about being straightforward, Schmerg.

Or course, if things get really out of hand... you can always tell him that I am your long distance boyfriend.

My boss was a major jacka*s today.... at first I thought I just had a short fuse because I had been at a party till midnight and was slightly hungover BUT my completely sober coworkers though he was an ass today too.

The party I went to was awesome... it was a surprise party and by the end of the night my friend and I were belting out Whitney's "How Will I Know" and one dude was wearing my friends leopard print top... good times

Hahaha, Jazzy! But, as brilliant as that is... I don't think this guy would pick up on any of that. If I said, "Yeah, I have a boyfriend who lives in Atlantis and carries a big trident that can stab you in the head," he'd say, "Cool, wow, great, you have a boyfriend! Well, I can still follow you, right? No harm there, right?" Like, that's how he actually talks. But maybe if I showed the picture of you impersonating Terrence Mann and explain that we'd been married for three years, he'd decide I was mentally unstable and leave me alone.

But Jazzy-- your story about that girl really hits close to home, because I know a girl just like that who is really desperate for a boyfriend and every single guy she pursues rejects her and it just crushes her... and of course, every girl gets a crush on a gay dude from time to time, but it's sad when someone SERIALLY picks guys who never have a chance of liking them back.

Kels, that sounds like the best party ever, haha. I once went to one that ended with an ostensibly straight dude "playing" our gay friend like a guitar. It's hard to describe how he played air guitar on this guy's torso, but suffice it to say it was pretty hilarious.

Yeah, there was also a cat pinata that WOULD NOT DIE! In the end my friends BF had to beat it open with a light saber Also, have any of y'all who drink (Danmag....) tried Woodchuck Draft Cider? It's pretty good, and I usually hate anything but wine coolers and mixed drinks.

Ooh, withoutlove..that party sounds exciting. The parties I go to aren't that exciting. The craziest party I've been to was last year. It was a bunch of kids throwing paper plates into a bonfire and playing "Honey I Love You". That just goes to show you what a wild party animal I am (Lei947 is promising to rid me of my wild party virginity when I'm 21, though...). I did go to an exciting party last weekend. We played Quiditch (you can fly if you just believe!) and beat the crap out of a Miley Cyrus pinita! Good times.

Lol, Schmerg. That made me giggle. The second girl that asked me out that year was QUITE a piece of work! She would text me and ask me about my turn ons and vaguely ask if she possessed any of them. As soon as she started doing that, I knew I would be asked out within 48 hours. Instead of lying my butt off or completely ignoring her, I would say things like "Well I'll tell you some of my turn offs... LOW CUT SHIRTS! How disgusting is it when a girl leans over to talk to you and you can see down her entire shirt". I figured that would drop a hint... but no. She was committed. The next morning I had 50,000 voice mails of her asking me out and how I better act now because some hot guy is going to beat me to her! Of course, I kindly rejected her. I thought I was in the clear...but she was back in action last week and asked me out again (through FaceBook this time). Like an idiot...I politely rejected and then told her that I was about to leave to go meet a friend at starbucks! Guess who magically appeared at that starbucks! Not just her, but the girl from my previous post, too (that was a pure coincidence). The best part is... SHE'S STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Jazzy, that second story is amazing. There's nothing I love more than completely unhinged teenage (or preteen, in this case) girls. WHAT a psycho! Schmerg, I think the others have given you good advice, and I've never really been stalked (I'm much too scary and mean for anyone to become obsessed with me like that), but I wish you all the luck in the world in dealing with this guy.

Kels, I LOVE WOODCHUCK! I think I'm a fan of it on Facebook, actually. It's my #1 drink of choice, and is usually the reason I frequent so many dive bars...regular places don't carry it. I'm guessing you had the regular amber flavor? That one's good, but I'd highly recommend the pear and raspberry flavors, too. Deliciousness.

I actually had the Granny Smith... I want to try the raspberry though.

[justagirl2]

Posted: 9/25/09 at 10:20pm

Granny Smith is my least favorite (though I still love it), so you're in for a really nice surprise with the others.

Jazzy, that girl sounds really terrifying! Yikes!

But hey, speaking as a girl, I have to tell you-- some people (like me) just naturally have bodies that make pretty much every article of clothing look low-cut. And t-shirts and blouses that button up all the way are really not flattering to chestier gals because they just make us look top-heavy.

I am more upset about the lack of Broadway secrets updates than I thought possible, since I mostly just sneer at that sight. But it's part of my Friday afternoon routine!

I haven't posted here before, but Weez says you're all nice, so... I seem to have been sucked into talking about the relative attractiveness of the Rock of Ages cast on the Broadway board, which makes me feel like a perv cos I try and avoid being silly like that about shows. But I do have a bit of a crush on some of the people in that cast, which has never happened to me with a show before (barring one person in one show, who, um, I won't be naming). But because I'm an ocean away it sort of feels okay. Like if I was saying that about people over in the UK who I knew or was seeing in shows every now and again I'd feel worse. This is silly, yes?

Welcome to the tread!
I was going to post a picture of a nice welcome mat for you, but then I found this one.... I think I will be getting this for my dad for xmas

LOL, kels!!!

And yes, welcome to the Girl thread frapperia!

[justagirl2]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 1:48pm

Hi, frapperia! And no, you aren't at all silly for discussing the attractiveness of anyone in a show. Scroll back through the thread and look at all of our ridiculous discussions about celebrity men!

[withoutlovewithoutU]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 2:19pm

Oh and Frapperia, don't get me started on Rock of Ages.... I am a huge, massive fan! I am teaching my drama students the Don't Stop Believin' choreography for a showcase.... Yeah, I think I need a support group lol.

[clever name]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 4:31pm

jag, what are you talking about? We have NEVER discussed the looks of a guy we saw in a show

.


..or a film







..or TV show




Really,we only discuss the talent of these fine gentlemen....The hot, hot talent.

[justagirl2]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 4:53pm

So...much...talent...





So, I started a blog and have written exactly two entries (and have only posted one of them). And now I'm kind of bored with it and want to stop, but I am determined to not give up because that's what I always do. Motivation please!

Hi frapperia! I'm new-ish to the thread as well, but people drool over hot
'talent' all the time on BWW, so you don't have to be embarrassed!

Schmerg,
there is nothing wrong with low cut shirts. It's ho-cut shirts that are gross. A shirt should only go so low! Ho-cut shirts can provide entertainment when you're watching a girl wear one and talk to a guy... and then look at where the guy's eyes are wandering! Who needs television when he have entertainment like that happening all over town?!

Ah, talent.

[clever name]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 5:05pm

Are you watching Vampire Diaries? These guys are realllllly talented.

[StockardFan]

I love this thread.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 5:17pm

Don't forget about the talent on Broadway, clever name!





(I think holding dogs makes you look more 'talented').

[justagirl2]

Posted: 9/26/09 at 5:20pm

Oh, clever. You've done gone and killed me. That Ian Somerhalder is EXTREMELY talented. I would really like to meet him and tell him how talented he is.
