What's on your mind?

[Saucy]

Yeah that's why I stopped watching I think.

Shows and movies about aliens are really only cool to me in the beginning. Sort of like "Signs". It's the mysterious, creepy vibe as they stalk the land. You don't know who they are or what they want. But then I lose interest once they start showing the aliens and they usually look stupid and the plot just falls apart.

Me too probably lol

See, I'm probably the kind of person that scares you away...

I believe that every woman is outstandingly beautiful in some way, and I often point those things out. And I also try to point out people's talents. ("I love how calm you are!" "You're so good with people!" "I think you're really smart.")
Some of that is because I don't want anyone to decide they aren't as book-smart as me, and feel bad: so I try to really appreciate the qualities they have that I don't.

Sooo... l hope it doesn't scare people away? It is all very honest, at least. I don't give flattering comments unless I think they're true.

You sound very sweet. There's a definite difference between pointing out positive qualities, and charm bombing. Charm bombing makes me uneasy, but someone throwing me a bone now and then I'll happily thank them for their kindness/get chatting further.

I think it's more when people launch straight into something like "*insert compliment here*, *insert compliment here*, *insert compliment here*". Especially when you don't know them. I'm all up for strangers and random compliments, if the compliments were spaced out, or not quite so over the top, it'd be delightful banter.

I'm sure you do not scare people away, you sound very considerate in your delivery of compliments.

Flattering words are like flowers. If you give them all the time, they cease to be meaningful or special.

Today I want humor, not flattery. So I hear you about flattery.

Three strings walk into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says, "We don't serve your kind in here", and throws them out.

The first string is mad and stomps back into the bar. A few minutes later he comes flying out of the door.

The second string says, "No one does that to my brother", and goes inside. A few minutes later he comes flying out of the door, too.

So, the third string bends over, begins twisting himself around, then untwists one end. He walks into the bar. Minutes ago by and nothing happens. The two strings finally get curious and peep inside the bar only to see the third string sitting at the bar enjoying a drink. They walk up to him, but the bartender confronts them again. They explain that they are with the third string, so the bartender asks him, "Are these two with you?"

"Nope", says the third string, "Im A Frayed Knot".

**Runs out of thread** No pun intended. lol

Awww, thanks.

I am very careful to use compliments that have factual backing and are tailored to what that particular person excels at.

Okay, I finally had a chance to finish Kingsman. Over all I liked it but the language...ugh. Samuel L. Jackson actually made a half decent villain even if he was comical. Since the director/producer wasn't going for a serious action movie I thought they did a good job. If you are looking for a film to make you ponder the wonders and mysteries of the universe, this isn't it but if you're looking for something at least mildly entertaining and can handle the language then this is a good fit.

Compliments with factual backing? I like the way your mind works there!

Also I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way, but given how recently your relationship ended it's natural to be a little self absorbed.

Perhaps when things are not so raw you will both be great supports for each other, there is a lot of empathy to be shared between two people who have recently found themselves single (whether that's their choice or not).

 

[graciesings]

Ugh. I'm in the campus computer lab taking a quiz and some guy who smells like a TON of cologne just sat down across from me... I'm not kidding, this guy had deodorant for breakfast.

I wish I could move to some other place where I can breathe, but the quiz I'm taking can only be accessed once...

Definitely. I think we're good for each other. I just need to get past things enough that I can enjoy spending time with him, and care about his problems.


Annnnd the guy's girlfriend just showed up, and she smells worse? like... lotion, lots of perfume, lots of hairspray....

My eyes are watering.

I hate this apt. I should be getting ready for bed..... am I ? NO, they shut off the water...... no clothes washing, no shower, no shaving.

If they force me to go to work on Saturdays funk (showered in the AM) Sundays funk to start my Monday in dirty clothes...(and no sleep waiting on water).. they will NOT like what happens. This is Toro poop.

Im so sick of this crap im bout ready to set fire to this building and walk away..... seriously.

I work on my car I don't ask for much...... RUNNING WATER. not to sit in my filth all day.

Hulk Smash better watch me pretty soon he would learn something from Toro Rage.

What do you want to know? I might be able to give you some info. Toronto is a very multicultural world class city that has everything.

Well, I guess just in general, is where you live still a lot like America? (I was in Toronto for a few weeks way back when I was seven, but I barely remember anything about it other than a few photographic images of the scenery in my head and the fact that every speed limit sign was in kilometers instead of miles.) How often in a year does the sun want to kill you dead? Who ... rules Canada? Like a president? Or maybe every province has its own government and is entirely responsible for itself? Is the stereotype that all Canadians are exceedingly nice and polite people generally true?

Thanks for your help, Yankee Girl.

You should ask him "Hey, is that Old Spice you're wearing?"

That should sufficiently terrify him to reconsider his cologne.
