I know I can't close anything in here, but I guess I can start a new one since the old one's over 100. So, I did. I went out for coffee with Todd tonight. Well, that was the plan. And we met up there. But as I was running late and had to eat dinner, I ate with plans to have coffee later, but we left the shop before then. He gave me a tour of the city and then took me back to my dorm. It was shorter than I thought we'd be out. But I had fun, he had fun, and he just IMd me on Yahoo, so I'm assuming that's a good sign. heh

Todd is the one that last time wanted to come feed the rhinos, right? Sounds good. It's going very relaxed, right?

Mike is the rhino guy. Todd is the coffee guy.

Ah, okay, I got mixed up, sorry. All those dates...it's hard to keep track. I wonder how you guys succeed to do so. So, did you see Mike again? (Maybe I missed it cuz I was offline... )

Nope, haven't seen Mark again. Still waiting to hear back from him. grumbles But if he's going to be this silent and all that, it's good I know now so I can look elsewhere. I don't want to have to threaten murder to get three words out of the guy I'm with, you know? I sent him a 'hey' message a few days ago. We'll see when/if he responds.

Ah, the "hey" message is good, I think. It tells him you might be interested, but if he's not, then you aren't either. I think. Anyway: you played the ball, it's his turn now. Otherwise: Game Over. So, what is he called, Mike, or Mark? Up there you said "mike", but now it was "Mark"...

It's Mark. If I said 'Mike', I spoke wrong. And I totally agree that the ball's in his court. Last week, I asked him if he wanted to go to the children's garden here on campus and he said this week would work. And I sent him the brief note. It's up to him what he wants to do now. I don't have the time to sit around and wait for him. I have too much to do, both for classes and in the way of having a blast at the coffeehouses and checking out all the cool stores and stuff on the Main Drag that runs right by the north end of campus.

I was out with two friends tonight for drinks and shopping (the shopping wasn't planned, but we came back with bags), and on the way out of the open air mall we were shopping at, I remarked I was going to light up one of the votive candles I bought tonight, and it's only against the rules if you get caught. The friend who was driving said, "I'd be careful. Your suitemate hates you and wants you dead." To say I was taken aback is an understatement. I asked her if she knew why, and she said no. It seems my suitemate's boyfriend is friends with my friend, and he told my friend this. Both of my friends have told me not to sweat it and the friend who was driving said my suitemate looked like a bitch the first time she met her, so no one that matters to me is mad or anything. And my suitemate is quiet and all that, so no worrise there. It's just the niggling crap that she dislikes me so much, but hasn't said jack to me. Yes, I understand the crickets upset her. I apologized for that of my own volition and without being prompted, so she can shove that right up her pretty little bum. Beyond that, I have no clue. I'm tempted to walk over to her door, knock, and say I've heard she really doesn't like me and I have no idea why she feels that way. I'd like to get this out in the open and get it settled. Actually, the ideal situation my imagination likes is me staring at her, hand on hips, stony expression, and saying, "Look, I don't know what your problem is, but we're going to get it settled right here and now, so start talking, because I've had more than enough of your silent pissiness for three lifetimes. I don't know what bug went up your butt and put your panties in a twist, but I suggest you get that bug out and untwist your panties and start talking to me if you have problems. 'Cause if you ain't talkin', then you ain't got no reason to be bitchin'. Put up or shut up. I'm quiet and I do my best to keep the bathroom clean when I'm in there. Now, what exactly do you have problems with? Start talking."

Quote: *Quote:* the shopping wasn't planned, but we came back with bags I suppose that's the beginning of schizophrenia: it's Isabel taking over. Sorry. Your suitemate sounds like a real life psycho shudders. I honestly think you should go with the plan you posted up there - just confront her and ask her what her damn problem is, and if she refuses to talk to you, then the problem is all hers and you can just ignore her. Quite frankly, I don't understand what goes on in people's mind: fine, so maybe she doesn't feel sympathetic towards you right away - happens to all, sometimes there is just no connection at all, and you dislike people but can't exactly pinpoint why. Your suitemate, however, seems to have taken that attitude to drastic levels. What's that bullshit-talk about wanting you dead? I mean, not even as a joke that is funny. If she's having a problem, it'd be appreciated if she came out and talke about it. Otherwise, the problem seems to be her. Poor Zook. What a sucking situation. Here's a coupla for ya.

Thanks for the hugs. It's not Isabel taking over. It's part of being female. "Ooh! I like that! I have a credit card!" As for my suitemate, it is totally and completely 110% HER problem, not mine. Unless you attempt to do something to fix a perceived problem, you have no grounds to complain. I'm rather scatterbrained today, so I won't be confronting her in this condition. I've gone through what I could possibly be doing/have done to get her upset, and none of it is anything that I'd consider grounds for being seriously upset (leaving the sink with water splatters on it, my bathroom door not closing all the way at times, etc). I apologized about the crickets, so I consider that a moot issue. If it's small stuff that's annoying, she should talk to me and I've already told her that (in writing). We're only going into the fourth week of the semester, so her feelings seem to be way, way out of proportion for how long we've been here and what could possibly be getting her so upset. Weird, man!

Exactly. Aw, c'mon, even if that's what has annoyed her, she could, you know, open her mouth and *TALK!* It's said to be the easiest way to sort out problems. I mean, from what I gathered from hearing you tell what's been going on, she didn't even get enough into contact with you to be upset about anything. I suppose she's having problems with herself, which is why she's trying to take them out on someone else. I still think you should try to confront her whenever you feel well enough to do so. Maybe it would solve anything, even though, judging by the way things look, maybe they won't. Oh well. Quote: *Quote:* "Ooh! I like that! I have a credit card!" I wish I had money to live up to my female nature!

Zook, I'm not going to sit here and pretend I sympathize because, well, I've never been in that sort of a situation, but... I am definitely seeing your point and I think she's the one who's acting pretty immature about the whole thing. You're the one being the adult about it Oooh, I had a really fun experience on... sunday. Yeah. A friend and I went to the state fair out of boredom, and went to visit my mother afterwards before going back home. My mom lives in an apartment building, so there's this large patch of lawn in the front. Well, on our way out to the sidewalk, we saw this abandoned shopping cart on the lawn (mind you, it was about 9:30 pm). I was hyped up on sugar and let my friend (Nicole) take me for a ride. We are just very weird, not little kids... That didn't last long, because she wanted a turn. So about halfway down the driveway of the apartments, I missed a pothole and slowly, we both kinda just tipped over. It was the funniest thing in the world, seriously, because she tipped over in a shopping cart and hit the ground. We both just kind of lay there laughing for about five minutes, then got back up and ditched the cart. It was great fun Okay, so maybe that was boring, but... I'm bored and thought I'd share with you all just how much of a dumbass I can be

That sounds like so much fun! I'd love to go for a ride in a shopping cart!

Author:	SpicyAlejandra [ 09/16/03 15:15 ]
Post subject:	General Discussion #2
It is! You should definitely try it sometime. It's a little freaky at first because the "comfortable" way to sit in it, you're facing the person so you're basically going backwards, but after a short while it's really fun

Sounds like fun to me. I mean, not many of us can actually recall the last time we went for a ride in a shopping-cart! I am so angry. My car is not going to pass inspection the way it is now (basically, because it is pretty rusty everywhere, and there are parts that matter and that I have to get fixed first if I want to pass). It sucks because if I hadn't just changed the catalysator to a new one, and if I didn't have had some services made, it wouldn't be that bad, but now I have just been investing money, and it looks like it's all been for nothing. Not to mention the fact that of course I don't have money to get a new car, a no car is so not an option for me, I am waaay too lazy for that, plus I love my car, and now I'm just ´. sigh

Hey everyone!

Post subject:	General Discussion #2
I went through car troubles rather like that in February. Inspection wasn't an issue; it was that the car kept breaking down every few weeks. So I borrowed money from my uncle against the insurance settlement I was going to receive and got myself a new (to me) car. I got a great deal on a '99 red Ford Taurus, and my dad took my '92 Buick Century. Ironically, the Century hasn't broken down since I got rid of it, but such is life. At least I have reliable wheels for at least another seven years, maybe more.
