I can find a few dozen people calling me confusing too. razz

I guess guys are less confusing because historically we are supposed to ask the girls out, so we have to make it clear at some point that we like a girl enough to spend time with her. While girls are supposed to sit pretty, be quiet and wait for a guy to ask her out.

Paternalistic societies succcccckkkk

Ugh, I haaaaaaaaaaaaate that. It's like...no, I'm not just going to sit here and hope that you like me enough to keep coming around, I'm going to ask you to the movies and to group events and to come hang out. I've yet to actually ask a guy to be my boyfriend, but I'm not going to sit there and just wait. Too much chance of mixed signals and good lord it's boring.



Oh I hope she doesn't want that purse that she left on the pile of sweaters...I realize she said "do you want any of these sweaters? I'm getting rid of them" but there were two bags sitting in the pile of sweaters and maybe just maybe she doesn't want that really pretty black Prada purse. I mean, she carries a brown one...maybe she doesn't want the black. Ohhhhhhhhhh I hope I hope I hope.

edit: whoops, meant to say "realize SHE said."

Great. One of my coocoons is missing. So much for that awesome outfit I was putting together with the new black coral skirt. I sent an inquiry to customer service, and I damned well better get it back. It's bad enough when I lose items I bought with gold due to their shitty coding, I'm NOT going to be happy if they ******** me out of REAL money.

I also never got the amethyst and quartz tiara I bought from Agatha. I hope I didn't reach their damned inventory limit. But I just traded some stuff to my mule. Wouldn't it have shown up after those slots were empty? Agh. -_-

Yes it does say that. I find it funny though.

I just realized I forgot a word in my previous post - my roommate was the one who asked if I wanted any of the sweaters, 'cause she was emptying out stuff she doesn't use, and had thrown a purse and another travel bag on the pile as well - but she forgot to mention that she didn't want any of it and just said "sweaters" so I wasn't about to take the bag without asking first.

...but she didn't want it, yay! I feel so ridiculously girly.

wah!!! gonk I hurt so much. Went up to the gun range for a pistol match for the first time in like two or three years. I was fun but running all over the place keeping score and taping up the targets makes me feel like I've had my legs run over. crying
This is why I like trap more, the birds* move and we just stand there shooting or bad mouthing.

*its what they're called not actual birds, they're clay pigeons or discs.

Uh, yeah. I'm not simple by any means. I'm so confusing even I have trouble understanding myself. Maybe it's because I'm a Scorpio, but a lot of the time, I'll make ambiguous statements or do things 'covertly' just hoping that someone will figure it out.

Circumlocution.

It's not even done in a way that's like "Gee, is this the right person to understand me? Maybe if they figure out what I'm trying to say, I'll know." I mean, I wish it WAS like that, 'cause then maybe I'd understand why the hell I do it. But really, I just... do. I want to be figured out. I want someone to understand what I'm really trying to say without having to spell it out. Hell, I want to be able to just say things straight out without my mind automatically defaulting to anonymous mode.

Perhaps it's a result of being in countless situations similar to the ones mentioned above. "Oh, uh... yeah. We're... we're just friends. Yeah." And then my mind starts cutting me off before I get to the point of humiliation/rejection. Cuts me off and says "Lay it out like this, and if it's something, it'll all pay off." ... Which again, it never does. User Image (I have to stop myself now, before I go off into far reaching tangents and all sorts of crazy s**t.)

And that right there is about as 'dis-ambiguous' as I can probably get.

Yay! ... Wait...

I find your mild confusingness to be endearing. ): <3

I saw Watchmen yesterday!

I liked it a lot. <3 But a warning to people who are just looking for the next superhero flick - don't expect The Dark Knight. Watchmen is long, extremely heavy-hearted and the violence is graphic (the creators of 300 and Sin City, after all). 1/3 of the theatre actually got up and left because the story was bleak, disturbing, and probably not what they hoped for on casual-date-Saturday. But it's visually AMAZING, and unexpectedly profound. You will definitely have many things to talk about when the movie is over.

Frank, for sure, you need to see it. A lot of the dialogue reminded me of you... plus, Rorschach's diary begins on your birthday. ;]


AirisMagik
as Aivi puts it,

where the hell all this passive-aggressive "WTF" s**t comes from.
Hi.


I said that? Hehehe... it IS passive aggressive s**t. Girls aren't hard to read - most boys just aren't sensitive to it because society has trained them to think that sensitivity is for pussies. Example conversation:

Girl: I want that cheeseburger... but maybe I shouldn't... I need to diet...
Guy: Why don't you get a salad?
Girl: Gee, nice to know you think I'm fat.
biggrin

Ooh, burn! Let's break it down:

Girl: I want that cheeseburger... but maybe I shouldn't... I need to diet...
She isn't SERIOUSLY considering a diet (she wouldn't be flirting with the idea of eating a cheeseburger she were). She's just self-conscious. Not necessarily fishing for compliments, but any compliments are a bonus.

Guy: Why don't you get a salad?
Guy tries to be helpful, but makes the mistake of taking her remark at face value, inadvertently agreeing that she could use a diet.

Girl: Gee, nice to know you think I'm fat. biggrin
Passive-aggressiveness: (noun) poison dressed up with a smile. What? You hurt her feelings without doing anything! Well, you can't defend yourself now. Smooth it over. Say something like, "I don't think that. But you do!" and kiss her, which reassures her that you like her the way she is and subtly reminds her that this is a result of her own insecurity.

Of course, the whole mess could have been avoided if the guy had simply said the first time, "Don't worry, you're beautiful. Get a cheeseburger!"

I don't know how I would respond to that, I'd either burst out laughing or go /pokerface and say 'yes, I do think you are hideously fat'. Then again, I've often yelled at girls saying they're ugly to get over themselves and that they're hella pretty. Usual respond was that I should stop lying and/or I'm just sucking up to them. neutral

Anyway, I never had a girlfriend, I don't think I would like being treated like that, though.

Or if the girl had just said what she meant in the first place. Seriously, don't put it all off on the guy.

I normally do say what I mean, but one of my best guy friends is so good at putting his foot in his mouth he still manages to make screw-ups. I don't hold it against him. Although, I admit, I do like giving him the typical girl response just to watch him squirm. lol

Girls aren't as complicated as guys think. They only SEEM complicated if you like things laid out in front of you and labelled clearly.

But yeah, a lot of girls are stupid. They're taught to sit there and wait for boys to come after them, even after they're in a relationship. Many girls forget that boys also enjoy being pursued now and then. Cook him dinner. Do something sexy. Buy him a video game. Ask him to explain how something works, even if you already know - it'll make him feel smart. Just treat him like how you want to be treated.

My mom never ever let me call my boyfriends. No joke.

After I was over 18, I said "Screw your idea" and started calling them if I felt like it. This caused endless bitching.

Ack, moms and grandmothers... It's so frustrating how conservative they can be.

My (still living) grandmother once pulled me aside to tell me, "Women are like flowers. They need to keep the house clean, and make the men their meals. Maybe put a nice bouquet on the table so he has something nice to look at when he comes home." Then she told me to lose weight. xD

My mom often says things that make me feel insecure when she's trying to give me advice. Like, "Don't ever let him see you without make-up or wear sloppy PJ's around him, he might not like that" and "Are you sure you aren't visiting him too much? He might get sick of you!" I know she's just being a good cautious mother, but I finally decided that I know my relationship best.

Did Aivi change her username again? You know I can't even remember her first one anymore. :'[

I hate the notion that guys are supposed to do everything, like ask a girl out. When I told my friend I had asked out a guy and he said no because he didn't want to be in a relationship, all my friend could say was "What? The guy's supposed to do the asking." ******** that, if I want something I go for it. You don't get anything in life by sitting and waiting. Also, I JUST GOT REJECTED. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DIDN'T SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. D:

I am eating a microwaved Philly cheese steak. It's not as good as what a real one would be but eh whatever. 3am and I'm hungry.

Oh, and since I have the tendency to disappear for a while and come back: I got into San Francisco State, woo.
