Just thought I'd demonstrate my ability to not use I.But she really did call and seems to do so at least twice a month. She lacks the cajones to say whatever it is that she's thinkin'. It ain't my problem and I don't want it. I won't run from this one. I'll stand my ground 'cause I deserve the esteem I've worked so gorram hard for.
Goodnight folks.

HK: you know, it might well still be worth trying american gods, there's a good chance it'll at the very least make you look at those things you live beside in a whole new way, which might even be better then just escaping them 
been alot of top-notch suggestions regarding tea, bloody-mindedly trying to make yourself like green tea is probably not the easiest, although if you insist, weak jasmine green tea might be easier on the palate ^^ kudos for the determination though 
Reworking entire sentance's to find a new way to phrase things end express yourself might be one of the better things to come out of the obvious overuse of the singular pronoun (thanks VE) 'cos there're few things more pleasurable then stumbling upon a particularily elegant turn of phrase xD
VE, you've 'wordified' the original topic quite quite marvellously, most proffessional work *welikes*
NVG, Not sure any comment on my part would be very erudite, can't really claim enough knowlede of the situation to judge, so will stick to saying that between them, the bodies here have probably got all the bases covered with their advice, and to listen and learn 
Gods are great. But the heart is greater, for it is from the heart they come, and to the heart they shall return.

Best thing learned in school: It's an old imponderable, I know, but I don't want to miss it. The only thing I really appreciate from school (and I do mean the ONLY) was learning how to type. It had to be bludgeoned into me with a large, heavy stick, but eventually I learned how to type at 40+ W/Min, which I use even for my own recreation. I'm thankful I took that class.
Oh, and Drama. The 'projecting' voice makes people sit up and take notice. You don't need to shout to get your point across when you can ramp up the decibels without changing your tone.

Words are wonderful, and they can be eloquently rearranged.
Odds, you did great. There were no 1st person singular pronouns that showed up in your last post.
NVG, you're right. She does call, and she does lack the cajones. It appears your choices are to be polite when she calls, ask her why she's calling all the time, tell her to stop calling, and/or hang up when she calls. (MsG had a great way to put her in her place with her last quote.). It's not your problem, and you shouldn't run. You should most definitely stand your ground. You deserve the BEST. It sounds like you do know what to do. 
Hugs from all Imponderables.
(2nd post that is hopefully missing the 1st person singular pronouns)

Hey everybody!! I have been around in so long...I've missed you all so much! 
Sorry it will take me forever to catch up...so I can't respond to much.
The best thing that I learned in school was probably learning how to do public speaking without having my head explode, which is a very useful skill.
Hk, I would probably be one of the people looking bewildered and/or freaked out at that sign... 
and here's another funny picture for you guys!

Sorry to shock you, but at least you are awake.
Meh...after the rest of today, that was at least plesant.

Yay! Good. 'Cept there's a very pissed off neko (actually, at this rate, the neko is more tora-sized) looking for a few heads to bash.

Whoo-HOO! We rate the goodstuff (news-wise)!

Answering with a proffessional, "The phone book should have their address." it seems some sort of game was averted, (though as a professional courtesy the address was looked up and communicated to her). What is y'alls opinion. Wouldn't you get to thinkin', "Why the hell is she calling"? after a while?
Just wondering what ya's think.
WHAT!?!!!

Regarding GREEN TEA, as responded to by many good folk:
I've never had tea before. It’s not that I expected it to taste sweet or anything like Mountain Dew. I merely wanted it to taste yummy because that colour is, in my mind, associated with yummy things like Mountain Dew. And, um. Anti-freeze.
I still have an inexplicable need to like green tea. It’s probably because I’m either insane or obstinate. So I am going to continue to try it until I develop a taste for it. I will. Yes. Or it will kill me.
Well, you already read my other suggestions, but a couple more: Sip the stuff they serve when you're at a Chinese restraunt. It's usually a bit milder (and jasmine-scented). Seriously though, green-tea ice cream from a good icecream place (B-n-R is not considered "good" in this case)...

Coffee. Coffee is the drink you are looking for, Hell's Kitten...unless you already drink it regularly and this green tea thing was just a mistake. That's understandable.
Oh, uh. I tried coffee once. It was like drinking burnt. Burned what? I dunno. Just burnt. Coffee is another great disappointment for me – it should taste as wonderful as it smells, but it does not. I walk down the coffee bean isle, breathing in the wonderful aromas, only to remember that it’s just an evil trick.
That's why Tristan drinks it nearly white (and with sugar)
(just teasing Tristan). I'd suggest what MsG calls the "froofy" girly coffee drinks -- a well made mocha or a frappuchino-type of ice coffee drink.Quote:Quote:

Funny pic, Asorta.
Public speaking is a good skill to learn. You never know when you'll be called upon to speak in front of others. Now you have the skills. 
James, from all of the terrible school stories that you've told, it is nice to know that you came out with two great ways to communicate. Typing is a great thing to learn. It helps you share things, and the Imponderables are able to get to know you. Voice projection is always handy in noisy places. This smilie is probably more appropriate for your loud projecting voice.

Yikes, Neko! Tomorrow has to be better. Day long conferences and State ASSessments are the pits. You are entitled to a major rant. 
Do you need more time to rant? 
Or do you think you can start to relax once you've purged the day?
What helps to take the stress away? Hot chocolate and a fireplace? Music and a hot bath? Reading and chocolate? Chatting with friends on FFF.net?

Ahhh, and Whitefall, didn't reply earlier, I didn't have much helpful to add, but I think your friend might have been trying to teach you something, in a fucked-up way. You always seem like a really sweet, earnest guy, trying hard to be the most even-handed, decent person you can, but I think that maybe you tend to expect the worst. Maybe there's something to learn in that, win or loose, nothing is irrecoverable, and it's generally best to try xD (which I'm guessing you'd openly acknowledge and agree with, but never quite bring yourself to act upon right?
Good gorram odds, that's a disturbingly apt description of me! (and for the parts that are complements, thanks
)Yeah, all in all the whole thing turned out alright. The lighting designer and I are really on the same terms (did i tell you guys that the first time i saw her after the whole email/chat thing about her not being interested, the first thing she asked was "do you want a hug"..... i love that woman, read my mind, lol....) and in a way its better, we can be more open cause i know how she feels, and she knows i know how she feels, and it might be oddly better. Cause ultimately, i didnt have huge hopes of high school romance, and in my night of agonizing worry, i decided that the most likely good outcome would be for stuff to go on as normal.
As for the mutual friend (and yes you all assumed right, that meant friend of both myself and the lighting designer) its not a qeustion of forgiving cause there's nothing to forgive. I once said to PheonixRose that most of us have spent most of our lives in privacy, and really want some company: in that spirit, I really appreciated that MF took an interest, as pathetic as that may sound. Sure she caused me to say things that i'm pretty damn sure i wouldnt have done otherwise, but... I believe in people being honest about stuff, maybe she was just helping me along.
Either way, all is more or less well in the land of me, (finally gonna present the firefly club to the ASB tomorrow, wish us luck!) and this whole thing has been, as you guys mentioned, an experience.
But i'm not changing my signature back.
