Hey all..
Gotta apologize for yesterday...'twas an odd combination of things and serendipity that had me finding this example of my bad taste in people in what feels like a couple of lifetimes ago:
*shudder* CIO nowadays too. [snips rant about unfairness of things before it starts...Wonder if he ever finished his bachelor's or if it's still one project short?]
...Oh well, on to better things...

Thanks VE...Wish that it was because I am actually productive instead of overwhelmed.

You guys are the people that I interact with the most (withoug being paid for it), and I am ok with that right now. The blessing of the internet is that I have been able to meet such shiny people and make new friends, and it's curse puts you all over the rest of the world.

MEEP!
Thanks. Need hugs like that right now.Yep, the internet is one of the ways to meet shiny folk worldwide. It's just stinks right now that you're all on a bigger rock than mine and it's at least half an ocean away! *hangs head* *kicks rocks in dejection*

G'luck with that Tristan. *h* I'm right on the edge of doing the "millions of people and nary a single one there that fits what I want/need in my life" thing.

'Neko- The kids are great. PB had some dental surgery to help correct the problems with his fronts. They pulled four in the front and capped a few in the back. Kinda sucks seein' as he gets soup for a few weeks. On the plus side I get to spoil him with low fat ice cream for the same amount of time.
Owch on the dental surgery. Yay on the low-fat ice cream spoilage. *Donates a few dozen extra hugs to both PB and BV for NVG to use on them at random intervals*

Cool. Death of the Endless. That's what my hair looks like on a normal day (even with brushing). Wish that I looked as good as she does though.
Note to whomever wanted a non-boring job: Take a job in education and become one of the truly dedicated ones. Never the same thing twice (even if you're teaching the same material), lots of things to do (with all the expectations of what needs to be done), and if you are one of those who becomes active in helping coordinate/plan/chaperone activities for (and with) the students, you'll never have enough time to be truly bored at work.
(*shrug* Some say it's a calling.)*waves to everyone else*

Not bad, actually. Still riding the waves of a break-up, but not a bad one. How's it in your corner of the `verse? Amything happen with the GND?

Neko- right with you! It's the best job ever. We just did our own Fables and you would die laughing over the fable ( re-write of boy who cried wolf) of the boy who cried ninjas.

Hahaha! Boy who cried Ninjas! That sounds fun!
I heard of one teacher who got her kids to write the story of Jesus raising Lazarus as a news story. One kid had the headline "Local Man Ruins Funeral"
And asortafairytale is here too!!! How come I keep missing you guys normally? I mean, it's not like I don't love MSG and Jonny and the rest, but I never seem to get to post with you lot any more!

At least it wasn't bad. Not that its ever good, but when there is little or no animocity it leaves a good space to be filled with only good things.
Eh, not alot to be said. Still really good friends, but I've decided that looking elswhere might be the smart choice. There's still something to be said for what goes unsaid, but I'm pretty sure neither of us is ready for one another. Like waitin' for the cookies to cool. Sure, they are so yummy and taste incredible right out of the oven, but the nursing required for the terrible blistering really ain't worth the interuption of flavor. I'd rather have my friend than not.
So this looking around thing really ain't so bad. Haven't committed to even asking anyone out yet, but the amount of freedom I feel on my shoulders is incredible. I was never tied down by anyone but myself. There are still down times, but the lows are never as low as they were before.
Glad to see ya. Gotta work now (the boss is watching).

That's pretty much my situ too. And I agree, things aren't so bad this way.
I'm really glad you kept the friendship! I'm not sure where I am with that. We haven't talked much, it's only been a few weeks since we broke up, and I needed time off. It'd be hard for me to settle into a friendship when we never were friends to start. ie - I'd have a hard time being around him without being able to cuddle.
I'm sure there's an imponderables in there somewhere, but I'm too impatient to leave the office to find it. Tomorrow morning!
And Hi and Bye Desktophippie! Talk to you later I hope!

So much for the sharp stick MSG. I just get to talkin' and that seems to work.
Okay, at the training yesterday I went outside for fresh air and one of my co workers stated how absolutely charming I am and that where ever I go people fall in love with me. This makes me think that after I left the room there were words said about me.
I'm outspoken about the things I love. work just happens to be one of them. In general I stay quiet until its my time to speak. And according to everyone I speak well and hold the attention of a crowd extremely well. I'm confident and well versed. I don't ask folks to change their minds, but ask them to think about options and alternatives. This is what I'm told.
So if all this is true then why am I an utter failure when talking to women. Is it because I treat them as equals? Perhaps because I'm polite and courteous? Maybe because sex is the last thing on my mind when trying to complete a task?
There is no happy medium. Either you're tryin' for a piece or ya ain't. At least that's what I see for the most part.
Still considering throwing down the good guy hat for a while. But for now I'll just keep shootin' strait with everyone in the hopes that someone will appreciate my truth.
