She might be a hopeless romantic too. I've known people who think it would be just swell if two of their friends got together. They can be just as bad as a person with a crush in reading too much into comments. "She said he's cool. They're so going to get married and have kids and I'll get to baby sit!!"

So, it's possible the MF wasn't being a jerk. Just overly optimistic.

Heeeey Magda, I'm glad I make you laugh, but I reckon I'll keep you guessing as to when I'm serious (hint:very rarely

)

Does anyone else ever wish they didn't use 'I' so much when they talk, pretty often (avoided it there) feel like it's (and there) in every second thing that comes out of my mouth (sweet! hat-trick!). Makes me feel all self-centred, and pushy with what I (damn...) got to say about myself.

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?

)

dagnabbit! gotten started on all those 'I's again...maybe if my own get gouged out, there'll be less on screen?

Oooh, let's see who can go the longest without using the word 'I' xD

Oh, me, me, me.

well, 'me' is not that-accursed-word-which-shall-not-be-spake-for-fear-of-being-selfcentred, so there's a thinking that it passes muster as not being that-word xD

so you've got a start, but there're expectations of plenty more from certain quarter's

Yeah, I get that sometimes odds. Makes me feel a bit weird, like I'm a terrible listener or something. Doesn't help that I could talk for Ireland!

Terry Wogan wants his championship prize title back

It's pretty neat to see that there's more then just me feel like that from time to time (really having to fight the urge to 'I' now...) So next question, who else makes an effort not to use it when they spot it and it bothers them?

Well he can't have it! I talk *way* more than he does. He has to pause to let the guests speak every now and then.

Think I'm figuring out why I say the word "I" so much...

Is "I" a word? I mean, if you say "I" as in "me" is that a word? Or is it still a letter even though it's being used as a word?

That's pretty funny Odds. Seems the question crossed my desk just this morning. Who knew that word could scratch so deeply into ones psyche.

(tries to continue without using the "it" word)

So "She Who Shall Not Be Named" calls yesterday morning to ask for the Housing departments address. Why the F should that be my concern. 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.
