*sigh* Did anyone's day go as bad as mine?

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

I know it's September 11 and all, but I had a pretty bad day. I just about cried this afternoon, half from sadness, half from anger. Here's the story...

It all started last night. I was talking to one of my friends online and she said she would help me get a girlfriend at recess today. Well, today, she didn't show up at recess. Me and my best friend waited and waited for her, but she never showed up. That part was OK, I guess, because I didn't see the girl I like, either. Instead I saw her at band 5 minutes later and couldn't talk to her. THAT'S why I needed my other friend to be there, so she could guide me through with what to say and stuff. So my best friend said he'd ask the friend that was SUPPOSED to be there what had happened. At the end of the day, heading to the busses, I heard someone talking to me, but I couldn't tell who it was or what he or she was saying. Then my best friend jumped in front of me and shouted "WHERE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!!!" I told him I couldn't here what he said and he said "She didn't show up at recess cuz she's not your friend." I thought "Since when?" But I guess it's obvious, now, that me and the girl I like were never meant to be...

[The Falcon]

awe man. don't get blue. you don't need that imposter of a friend to help you get the girl. just go up to the girl you like and say "hi! i'm general aka skarr. would you like a cup of coffee, juice, or milk?" you'll get her with this

Falcon

ps. my day ruled!!!

[auto]

I see where your coming at but look through my perspective,
I get 2 600 word papers assigned, 60 geometry review questions and I have to finish Flatland by Monday during my Birthday weekend (tomorrow's my birthday :()
lol :p I guess I had a different kind of bad day.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Hmmm, getting a girlfriend in recess, if only it were that easy in reality...

[Slash Tompson]

Hmmm, getting a girlfriend in recess, if only it were that easy in reality...

Hey, man!! I don't like that comment. Back off of the General. Its reality to him.

I don't like how people treat Skarr on these boards. I admit he tries a little too hard but cut the guy a break.

Anyway, back on topic. If it makes you feel better nobody's got it easy. Blue has a good idea. Talk to her. Show her what a nice guy you are underneath it all. To further make you feel better, I'm forbidden to hang out with the girl I like by her parents. Or is it the other way around... hmm... Ya think it has something to do with me being a horror movie cliche type serial killer that was named by the tabloids? Bah! Who knows? ooh!! I got a good story!! One thats bound to make you feel better!!
Okay, back when I was an iddy biddy kid, I was probably a lot like you. Not too many friends, not too good with the ladies. Little ladies. Anyways, there was this one girl that I really liked. Her name was Lisseth. She was a very pretty girl and very popular. Well, back then you were confined to only one class so I guess that depends on your defenition of popular. Well, I also had her in Sunday School. Everyone knew I liked her. So one day a guy comes up to me and says that she liked me back and that she wanted to talk to me. This was during lunch. I walk to her table and all her friends huddle around us. It was a little nerve wracking to say the least. So anyway, small talk small talk, I ask her out. Finally. "You wanna go see a movie?"
"Sure."
"What movie do you wanna see?"
Her response? "Do you think I'd actually ever go out with you??"
So, I was laughed out of the Church and emotionally scarred for ever. Needless to say me and the Church don't see eye to eye anymore. But I moved on. Became a little shyer. And interestingly enough, the quieter I got the more attention I got. I guess girls really do dig the whole mystery thing. And the girl? She got fat and is a bit of a slut now.
So chin up, General!! Nothing is as bad as you think. A little bit og good always comes from the bad thing. Its called karma.

Skarr knows me well enough that I like playing around with him, and vice versa. Just another thing some of you new people are in the dark about considering the established relationships of some of the longer standing members of this board like Skarr and I.

That's cool, I guess, but I'm just sayin', you know? That wasn't just directed to you.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Yeah, well, Skarr's a little younger than some of us, so perspective wise I tend to remind him not to get too high or too low over teenage romance. It's not worth it. I probably had an even less memorable school life than Skarr did. Heck, other than an odd three year romantic fling in my late teens, I'm still pretty dry relationship wise.

So if anyone has reason to overreact more than him, it's me.

[Zach Logan]

Yes, I had a very bad day, dont feel like going into it.

[The Falcon]

skarr...

is this the same girl that occasionally looks at you while you stare at her? dude, i thought we told you to just talk to her already. take my previous advice. ask her out to "coffee, milk, or juice". trust me. it works

First, there is no way for you to overcome your crushing lack of confidence. Second, the fact that you need the help of a friend to get you a girlfriend shows me you have no realistic idea what it means to have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. But that's fine.

Save yourself a lot of grief. Live your life and don't worry about getting a girlfriend. Play a lot of video games and watch TV. In the future, you will meet friends with interests similar to yours, and it will be easier to tell if they want to swap fluids with you. For now, you are far too naive. Hearing this may disappoint you, but I ask that you consider yourself objectively and try to use this information to your advantage. Think of the fun you could be having! You had a bad 9/11 this year, but think two years back. That was a really bad 9/11. Enjoy em while you got em.

[Jade_GL]

I used to get myself all upset about not having a boyfriend when I was in middle and high school. I can totally relate. Same thing with the friend who suddenly turns out to not see you as a friend. Sometimes people can be really cruel. It's just tough, and I know. I'm not too old to not remember being the only girl, it seemed, without a boyfriend.

Believe me though, you may not see it now (I didn't) but it will get better. The first thing I think you can do to make it better is to accept that this person decided, for some reason, not to help you, and then get up the courage (I know it's hard) to talk to the girl you like. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just strike up a conversation and see what happens.

I am sure that it will get better, especially if you try to work through it and not dweel on the bad aspects of what happened. I know, the silver lining may not be right in front of your face, but believe me, it's there. :)

Good luck!!! I'm rooting for you! :D

I myself have been having a rough week because the only roommate I have ever liked in college, a freshman that's totally cool, might get kicked out of our dorm for breaking a rule. I mean, she's the best roomie I've ever had in my three+ years of school, and she may get bounced out for one little mistake! GRRR!

Just my luck. My first roommate was a total party girl who didn't care about if she came into our room at 1 in the morning all loud and obnoxious. The next 2 were never in the dorm room, one had to commute instead and one lived with her boyfriend in his room, and my fourth roommate left me to move into a single but didn't tell me she got the single until she was already packing up her stuff.

Now I have a cool roomie and she may get kicked out. What luck I have. That's the fifth one in four less than four years, actually more like 3 years and a week.

That's my problem of the moment. So I not only have to worry about hat, but also the prospect of getting another roommate moved in, and she may be another dud. Oy.

[DianaGohan]

*Read's Skarr's Post*

That is pretty sad. And I'm sorry to say (kind of... well not really) that I had a fairly decent day today. Nothing nearly as bad as you did. Sorry again for you, BTW.

[The Falcon]

what did your roommate do, jade? i can totally relate on the multiple roommate issue. i had three last year. first one became an RA, second one (the cool one) moved back home and the third one, the one i had for the whole second semester, was a belching, farting slob. so...yeah. roommates suck unless you personally know them

Falcon

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

Wow... i'm surprised I got no comments like "Two years ago today was a bad day for a lot of people, so shut up!" As for Zach, I'm guessing you knew someone who died in the accident. Sheep dude, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! LLJJ, it is reality to me, but I know you fun around a lot, so I didn't take it personally. Besides, where else are you supposed to get a girlfriend when you're in 8th grade and you have a 90% sheltered life? Slash, chill! I appreciate you sticking up for me, but you were a little too hard on Larry. As to the rest, thanks for cheering me up. I'm about to write a nasty IM to my X-friend (she doesn't know I know, so she'll be surprised!), then I'm going to talk to the girl I like. I'll ask her if she has a boyfriend and what she thinks of me, and we'll see what happens from there.

[The Falcon]

Slash, chill! I appreciate you sticking up for me, but you were a little too hard on Larry.
skarr, he was only standing up for you. you do post some silly threads and you pretty much deserve what's coming to you for littering the boards. don't treat your friends like enemies or you'll lose everyone

Ummm, you don't.


I think you're missing the point that most people are telling you. You shouldn't worry about getting a girlfriend in 8th grade. It's really just not worthwhile.

[jrh31584]

Im a sophomore in college and I've never had a girlfriend. It has hardly bothered me at all.

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

OK, I don't know where you guys come from, but I come from a small yet infamous town in Massachusettes. There, everyone's got a girlfriend (or boyfriend if you're a girl) by the 6th grade. Even my dorkey friends have them. It's basically natural to go by someone and say "Hey, who's your girlfriend" and they'll give you a response with someone's name. Everyone, that is, except me and her. And maybe a few others, but I know we should get together.

[NachoHat]

Back when I was in 6th grade, a lot of people had girlfriends/boyfriends here too.

Now, let's use a nice little analogy...

A large majority of people in my school use drugs/drink/get high/etc. Does that make it right? No.

Though that's a bit more extrem, it's pretty much the same thing with your situation. Just because most people at your school have girlfriends/boyfriends doesn't make it a good idea.

Do you really just want to be part of the crowd, Skarr?

[Mek]

Hey, at least your mom and sister didn't verbally (mom) or physicaly (sis) beat up on you; say that they were going to kick your ass; cut you down almost every minute of the day and call you 'stupid' and an 'idiot' several times. :(

I know my mom wants me to be the sucessful one in the family, but does she really have to *mentally* abuse me? :(

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

Nacho Hat- No, I don't just want a girlfriend to be part of the crowd. You know that feeling you get when you're in love? It's a strange feeling that isn't the same as just a normal crush. That's what I'm feeling. I really do love her.

Mekairinik- My deepest sympathy.

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

You can't love someone without really knowing them. It's just your member talking, not your heart.

[The Falcon]

a kind of agree with the leaper. you can't love somebody if you don't personally know them. talk to her, ask her out, and then after a couple dates you can make that assumption. all you have right now is a crush. plain and simple. also, by reading your previous couple of posts, skarr, i don't like the sound of your logic. "everybody in my town basically has a significant other except for me and her." well, unless this means it's destiny (which it's not!), this doesn't mean you and her should be an item

Falcon

[NachoHat]

I was going to post but Leaping Larry Jojo summed it up perfectly.

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

TOday was even worse. In the last 30 seconds I lost 3 good friends. :(

[a.k.a. Skarr~~]

OK, OK, I talked to her online this morning, and here's how it went, with a little unnecessary details:

OK, I got on this morning, she was online but has an Away Message up. She was eating breakfast. i left her one, said it was urgent and she should send me one when she got back. So she got back 'bout 10 minutes later, she was probably still in her PJs :elle: (I know I was!), and I said "Ya know, I needed help with something, so I asked two of my friends, but it turned out that on of them hates me and the other just kept making up excuse after excuse as to why he couldn't help me." Then she asked what it was, and I just said, "Ya know what? I'll just say it right now: What do YOU think of ME?" We were both shocked that I had the guts to say that, but she simply said "Well... you're funny, and fun to talk to... And you're kind... and honest..." and then I asked her what she thought of me besides my personality. Then she had to go.

I don't know 'bout u guys, but I think that's a good start. Anyone agrein' with me here?

AAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

i'm sorry, skarr, but this is diffenently NOT a good start. dude, you can't just flat out ask her "what do you think of me?" that's like telling a girl you have some contagious disease and she should always stay away from you. before you say "what does he know..." i've been there, man. i asked a girl that same question and she only tells you that answer to tell you she wants to remain friends...if that. better luck on the next girl, skarr. i'm cheering for you

Falcon

[Pyro]

You joined when you were twelve?

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

This is embarrassing, Skarr. And I'm going to be honest with you--for once, I don't know what to make of what you did. It's certainly amusing to read, but I have to say, I really think you spooked her out. She'll probably get over it, but I wouldn't just drag her out of breakfast with an urgent message just to ask her what she thinks of you. It certainly wasn't urgent, you could have waited hours, days, weeks later.

You have a very unorthodox way of interpreting and relating to people, especially girls. I can honestly say I've never met anyone--7 years old or 12 years old or 42 years old--who's quite as different as you are when it comes to socializing with people.

Honestly, no, I don't think it's a good start. I don't think it was just a coincidence that she "had to go" when you asked her the vague question what did she think of you "besides" your personality. I think she's a little weirded-out at the moment. I'd back off for a couple of days, and then try talking to her in a normal manner. No more of these blatant questions, they'll scare her off.

[Speedy Boris]

Im a sophomore in college and I've never had a girlfriend. It has hardly bothered me at all. Ditto! Not interested, because I have my own priorities and wouldn't like getting interrupted by a "relationship". In fact, I get annoyed by some people who date- public displays of affection, both verbal (incessant, saccharine flirting) and physical. GET A ROOM! :rolleyes: As for Aka Starr, the best way to communicate is in person, not over IM. You never know if something typed can be taken out of context. Besides, as has been my observance with many high school "items" of the past, they almost always end when high school ends, even in a small town that I lived in.

[The Dork Knight]

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! YOU HAVE RECESS!?!?! You're lucky. Here in the 9th grade at my school, the only "recess" we have is the four minute break to go to our lockers and get to our classes!

Yes, I ignored the whole subject of this thread, and I'm damn proud of it! :D

9th grade recess? wtf? I have my 28 minute lunch. Can't leave campus either. And there's 3, we don't even get to pick which one we get. My best 3 friends aren't in my A or my B day lunches. (we have alternating 4 class days). It sucks. Thoooooo a certain lil girl is 'em :)

Let me tell you somethin. I couldn't get JACK when I was your age. Not all through middle school can I remember one good conversation I had with a girl. It sucked...Ihad problems with girls even in the begining of high school. Until last year I was fat, then I was still pudgey 'til this summer. Now I'm ripped as hell. But then out of the blue this year...GIRLS CAN'T KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF. It gets better I promise :).

Seriously! I haven't had recess since 6th grade, and I hate that we don't get to choose lunch periods, because none of my friends are in my lunch period.

[The Falcon]

for our lunch period, it was set up that seventh, eighth, and ninth graders ate together. when their hour was up, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders ate together for an hour. so, typically we'd eat in the cafeteria and then we'd play basketball in the gym or something. well...then after a time, having the gym open over lunch with no supervision became a liability, so we were limited to hanging around the cafeteria. then, they decided to mess around with the schedule, so they gave all the classes an extra fifteen minutes and decided to cut lunch from an hour, down to half an hour. so, basically it was eat real fast, then go to class. yep...high school sucked

[Sailor Chibi Otaku]

Skarr: just stop it. You're what, 13? 14? Seriously, the word "wait" is not in your vocabulary. Just wait until you're finished with school (something you need to get ahead in life). You're preoccupied with falling for peer pressure. YOU fell for it. Just because the people around you are in a relationship doesn't mean you have to be. Grow up. You have a CRUSH on her. You're young still. You throw around the word "love" like it's a piece of trash. Adults DO take it seriously, you know. I happen to take love seriously and people like you are mocking it and telling one and all who've never been in a relationship that it's not worth it.

exactly. when i was younger, i always told my friends "oh yeah. she's the one. she's somehow different than the others" when i turns out, it WAS just a crush and the relationship never turned into anything meaningful. just give it some time, skarr. don't search for the ladies, let the ladies search for you

Falcon

That's the advice I'd give him, too, but I'm convinced he won't follow it. So I'll say this instead.

Skarr, romantic relationships don't just "happen"... at least, not 99% of the time. They aren't these things that just explode into and out of being. The fact is, relationships are dynamic. They change, they grow, they develop. For any good relationship to grow, you have to plant the seeds. If you hope to have a girlfriend, you have to realize that that relationship is going to have come from something previously existing... a friendship, a partnership, whatever. Finding a girlfriend simply for the sake of finding a girlfriend isn't smart. Focus first on just having some female friends. If anything is gonna happen, it's gonna happen that way. Besides, you need more experience interacting with girls anyway.

And don't make a big deal out of this one girl. It sounds to me like you don't even know how to read her yet... and believe me, being able to understand her is a prerequisite to getting involved with her. Just have fun, have various friends, including her, and maybe then you'll get the chance to be closer. Or, who knows, maybe you'll find out she's not right for you. Diversify, man.

[Lucky Bob]

Okay, this is going to sound SERIOUSLY corny.

Skarr, ever seen a ladybug? Everyone likes ladybugs, right? They're small, quiet, unassuming, and they eat aphids. They are useful little creatures that rarely cause any harm or annoyance to anyone.

Ever seen gnats? They fly up in your face, get stuck in your eye, and seem to grow in number by the minute. They're annoying, obnoxious, and rude, and they have no discernable purpose in life.

So, what I'm trying to say, is that if you want to be a hit with the girls, stop trying. Just go about your normal (as in, "normal" normal) life and be a nice guy. Don't ask people what they think about you. That's very gnat-ish. Be a nice, helpful, and thoughtful dude. Be a ladybug. (If that's too girlish for your taste, pick some other nonassuming bug, like a dung beetle.)

'k?

[Leaping Larry Jojo]

Skarr, everyone else in your school has girlfriends and you don't because you are a geek, and geeks don't get girlfriends in high school! When you're in college, it's a different story, but for now, just wait. 5 years is not a long way off...

Today sucked for me. I had to take a makeup Geometry test this morning. I originally got a 91 on it, which is an A-. I was really happy (I'm not that good in Geometry). But then I saw the test answer sheet next to my test and saw that I got another question wrong. So stupid me, always wanting to be honest with my teachers told her about it. The question was worth 12 points! My test was lowered to a 79, a C+. I really wanted to kick myself.

Though that's no where near as bad as what Sailor Chibi said. Sorry about that.

I have a terrible headcold, I'm failing Geometry, and I hate my school.

Anyway, my very deepest sympathies Skarr, since first love is very tough, but I think Lucky Bob summed it up pretty well. Unforgettably well.


My days lately have been pretty darn good. I've been a bit moody, but it's been good lately.

A LOT of other members...

That's okay. You've repented for your sins. All you need is some GOOD LOVIN. :evil: :anime:

I'm going in a month for my exam. As a 23 year old woman, it's odd saying that. :(

I had the guts to call her on the phone las night. It went, uh, ok.

skarr, why do you ask for our advice when you don't follow it? i thought we all pretty much had a consensus that you should leave the gal alone and move on, buddy? it's cool that you called her, just as long as you weren't too pushy or anything

Iron Maiden pretty much summed it up with one lyric from their song, "The Age Of Innocence" from their new album, "Dance Of Death": "the age of innocence is fading like an old dream."

::cough::spam::cough:: there song made you have a bad day!?!?!....never heard that one before.

He DID wait a month, so maybe that was enough time so that she wasn't as weirded out.

It's not spam. Pick up Iron Maiden's new one "Dance Of Death" and listen to "The Age Of Innocence". You'll understand what I mean by borrowing that lyric.

NO, i dont plan on it, you could at least explain it to the ppl that dont want to get it. ( but i do like iron maden though)

hey, i aint "bashing" her. I just said that i dont plan on getting it and that she could just explain it, because im sure that some of us dont have it, or plan on getting it, so with that said, you cool it, dont always assume that what ppl say is ment to bo harsh, or degrating.

Ok. ****** represents the girl's name, and **** represents my name.

(I dial the phone)
Her: Hello?
Me: Hi! Can I talk to ******?
Her: This is ******.
Me: Oh, hey!
Her: H... Hey?
Me: It's ****!
Her: Oh, hey, ****.
Me: Sup?
Her: Uh... nuthing.
Me: Yeah, same here. (pause) So, watcha doin this weekend?
Her: Well, tomorrow I'm planting pansies, and then I have a band competition tomorrow night.
Me: Oh, with the marching band?
Her: Yeah.
Me: Cool.
Her: I gutta go now, cuz I got someone on the other line.
Me: OK, well, call me back when you're done, k?
Her: Uh, I might be going to bed then.
Me: On Friday night? (I forgot to mention that this is at 8:30 pm)
Her: Yeah.
Me: Well, try to call me back anyway.
Her: I don't know your number.
Me: Alright. I'll tell you.
Her: K, just a sec. (pause) K.
Me: ###
Her: Uh huh.
Me: ###
Her: Yup.
Me: You got it?
Her: Yes.
Me: ##
Her: K.
Me: ##
Her: OK.
me: OK, see ya.
Her: Bye.
(we hang up)

It's now Sunday, 6 pm, and she hasn't called back. My friend says that she was just making excuses not to call me back. I kinda thought so, too, but I'm not sure. I don't know what to think...

[Drachentöter]

Give up and move to the next chick.

[Shnay]

Yes, I'm afraid that the conversation between you and "******" did not go well. If she wanted to talk to you, she would have done so by now. All this effort for someone who isn't interested is not worth the effort. I think it's time to move on.

[JLApe]

In response to Skarr's other thread (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=92102), and this one:

Skarr goes bonkers because he couldn't get the girl he wanted. (What other reason could that be?) It bugs him that everyone's got a girlfriend and he doesn't. (All of his posts strongly allude to that.) He's so overtly fixated on his 'horny' feelings about her without looking into his own shortcomings: 1) lack of self confidence, 2) inability to connect with girls properly, 3) immature mentality towards girls and relationships, 4) refusal to listen to sound advice even though they are for his own good, and 5) continue to post asking for advice despite that. Since he makes no attempts to get these shortcomings fixed, they continue to perpetuate and control his life.

I doubt Skarr is going to get this but I'll say it: That girl doesn't like you. She doesn't find you attractive or desirable, and doesn't believe you got any of the qualities she's looking for in a real man. She wants someone who's confident, confident in himself not to need other's guys help to get to her, someone who's tall, good-looking and has an athletic physique. She wants someone with a well-endowed manhood, which you Skarr do not have (or does not measure up to). Oh, geeks, nerds and dweebs (like yourself) are not boyfriend material.

I'm surprised that the moderators allowed him to "spam" the board with his personal love-sick problems.

[Speedy Boris]

"I've got someone on the other line" is the oldest trick in the book, Starr. And even if she did, you asked her what she was doing this weekend within 10 seconds of the phone conversation. You barely know her and you want to go out with her- that's an uncomfortable situation. I retract my previous statement- she's definitely weirded out- read between the lines. I say all this not to insult you or your methods, but as constructive criticism. Move on to another girl but don't dwell on it; let the process come about naturally. After all, it's only high school! Trust me, not ALL of your classmates have girlfriends/boyfriends.

Actually I do know her very well. I've known her since 1st grade, more than half my life.

doesn't mean a thing, skarr. if i go by your logic, when i was a senior in high school, every single girl in my grade should've wanted me. but back to the phone call. that was a typical "hey, i don't like you" phone call, dude. she doesn't like you. she probably didn't go to bed at 8:30 on a friday night. actually, i can pretty much guarantee that

Falcon

[JLApe]

Actually I do know her very well. I've known her since 1st grade, more than half my life.That's very vague. How well do you "know" her? I know all my Sunday School girls very well, more than half my life. But it doesn't mean they want to go out with me. Sure, you can be infatuated with them, it doesn't mean they are attracted to you. I don't talk much with them, and from reading your posts you don't talk much with the girl you're infatuated with either. Same situation, you and me.

So really, what do you mean when you say "I do know her very well"?

[Weatherman]

Dude, face it, she doesn't want to have any kind of romatic attachement to you. Yeah, it sucks, but it's the straight up truth. She doesn't want to have anything to do with you in that regard. Drop the whole issue with her and move on. It's just not going to happen with her.

Trust me, there's someone in that school who likes you, and she's most likely hiding in plain sight. I know back when I was in HS there was at least one girl who liked me and I was completely oblivious to the fact. Look around a bit. You never know what's hiding right in front of your face.

Yesterday at school she approached me right up. I didn't even make the first word. She did. She said, "****, I'm really sorry I didn't get a chance to call you back I didn't have a free minute all weekend." I felt better after that. Maybe she'll call tonight.

skarr, her approaching you does not make sense. you didn't make it up, did you? if not, this is good that she remembered. but, don't let it go to your head. it just means she still wants to be friends, not an item

Only a gullible fool would fall for that. Go ahead, wait. Don't do anything else, just wait. Maybe she'll call.

She's obviously smarter than you, Skarr. The reason she gave you sounds incredibly valid.

So while you're hopelessly wating for her to call you, she's spending quality time with a really sweet gorgeous guy and having a really good time.

[Morgan Sloat]

Yes, imagine your body detoxing off of an opiate binge. Wait, some of you can't Imagine having to throw up, and being anxietic to where it hurts to stay still but it hurts to move. You can't concentrate or get work done, you're are pure miserable.


Oh well, no one wants to hear about my hardships. ;)

I'm sure most people wouldn't mind, being the gullible saps that they are (which is why one day I shall take over the world !!).

[Weatherman]

Skarr, she's playing with you, and you're goign right along with her little game. Just stop, right now. She doesn't want to be with you in a romantic way as far as I can tell, and I doubt she ever will. Unless you make the same faustian agreement this weekend and she actually holds up her end, give up. It never was, and it will likely never be.

Skarr, why are you blocking out your name in the conversation when you already revealed your name in your Video Game character battle at the Fun & Games forum?
