What's on your mind?

Tried that already when she spoke of her grievance with the situation. I hope it worked.

If you did that move it probably did.

Well I did at least try to sound timid and innocent when i asked, "would it make you feel better if I said that I am happy you're here today, at least?" ^-^

She softly replied, not really, but laughed and smiled a little right after that, and we talked for a few minutes from there. So hopefully it did cheer her up, even if just for the moment.

Aww, you're such a snugglebunny. How cute!

Hah hah. Definitely never been called that before. But thank you.

I can't call you that too often. You're Erin's guy!

But it fits nonetheless.

Snugglebunny and Adorable (for @MehGuy). I'm on a roll. *lol

I'm not sure I would be able to trust my own senses if she ever did address me as such. It'd be too good to be true, surely. ^-^

Words escape me... *lol

It would be quite a sight! But you'd settle down eventually. Once you got used to it.

Now I fear being tempted to fall away into daydreaming in the middle of a somewhat dangerous job as working in a lab on the days when she's just next door. There is a spot I spend a lot of time throughout the day at where I can easily see that cute little brunette-headed lass doing her own thing in her sector through an open doorway. Upon seeing your post about "you're Erin's guy!", during those times we can see each other I fear starting to mind-wander into a fantasy where she walks confidently up to me, cutely pokes me on the nose, and says, "you, Will, are now my guy!" To which of course I would be an absolute fool to protest.

So, yeah, kinda like that famous Phoebe Cates fantasy scene in Fast Times At Ridgemont High - only, you know, a lot more innocent.

(Um, seriously, no one try to look that scene up that I speak of, if you don't already know the reference I am making.)

Perhaps you'd better stay focused... *laughs

I have no doubt you'll give in. In fact, I hope you record it for all of us! Inquiring minds... *lol

Well that was nuts....

How's everyone else's day going?

How consistency is good but change has its place in growth and getting results in areas that are stagnant.

SarahsKnight · Oct 3, 2020

I was thinking, earlier that rather old-school song "Just the Girl I'm Looking For" by The Click Five was playing on my phone, so it's a shame Erin did not need to happen through my lab for any reason during that time, so I lost an opportunity to playfully serenade her with the lyrics " 'cause she's bittersweet. She knocks me off of my feet ...."

..... Honestly, will this shiny-eyed lass ever leave my mind for more than five minutes? I know you all - except maybe @LaBèlla - probably wish that she would, because then maybe you wouldn't have to hear about her every single time I post in this thread.

Well, you know we now have to ask you to elaborate on that, right?

Do you wanna know why? Several years ago a close friend told me something I clung to. "You're not done" she said. All my friends believed otherwise. Guess what? She was right.

I learned an important lesson though that experience. I don't know what's in the other person's heart. Assumptions are easy but we can be wrong. Did I realize he'd pursue me for years? More fervently than any believer I've encountered? Of course not.

Actions speak louder than words. You care about her. I respect that more than you realize. Some people are looking to fill a void. But you want her. That's beautiful.

I can't tease you because I've lived it. That's precious.

That is encouraging to hear, Bella. Thank you again.

I am thinking, though, that as certainly smitten as I appear to be with Erin, perhaps I should ask her out again but this time on a purely friendly/casual basis to get to know more about her, in a relaxed atmosphere with no romantic intentions. No attempts to win her over, no hidden agenda, just a chance to chat and know more about her as a person over a shared meal. Perhaps in matters of personal faith, as well. I like to think I can control my desire to heap praise upon her and keep the heart's butterflies to a minimum for a mere two hours in a fine dining establishment, long enough to socialize as perfectly normal friends. ^-^

You're welcome.

I can't tell you to let go. I've never felt the door was closed either. What you're exhibiting isn't common. Oftentimes people are off to the next. But you remained still.

That's powerful. You don't see it because you're not a woman.

I don't know what made you the person you've become. That's... amazing.

My cat is awesome. He follows me everywhere, and just looked over my shoulder to see what I'm working on.

Also, it's time to make the JSON files.
