Okay...okay. I don't have as many personal problems as I did before but shit, they're people who got them all over the place...

You ever have a conversation with someone and by the time it's over, you're looking at them like...Oh shit...oh shit...oh shit.

I was at the store last night and this woman took forever in the line. She was complaining about something. So I'm in the parking lot and bam! Her car is next to mine. She starts talking to me and wouldn't you know it...lawd she began to talk louder....louder and louder. Teeee-heeee...a brotha rushed off...seriously.

Seems like she was on some shit. And she was fuckable but not manageable. Lawd, I imagine if I had hit that what would have happened.

I'm usually

"shit, how do I escape this conversation"

I have actually told people in line at Publix

"I don't like to talk to people"





they get the hint!

Shit, I'm about to have some issues if I don't find a job. Do you know who's hiring?

I'm unemployed too!!!

It depends on my mood.

If I'm in 'asshole' mode that morning, I turn around and ignore them. They get the hint.


If I'm in a good mood, I entertain them then walk away and use the experience to talk shit about something to my friends, like "You will not BELIEVE the fool I ran into today "

If I'm feeling like Jesus that day, I'll join in and ask them questions, etc. etc. and actually talk to them--- people out there are very very lonely sometimes. It doesn't hurt to take a few seconds out of your day to make them feel less so.



Again, it doesn't matter what they're like really. It all revolves around my mood, so it's completely random.

You two make a great pair. Do I smell a new org romance?

its not natural to like problems. but u got to give out ur ear to another, cuz if 1 falls a whole Nation falls.

Shit, I'm laughing but I can't find shit.

Me TOO!!!!

I think I'm going to have to evade my references. My reputation in the corporate world has been tarnished.

JustErin said:

I'm trying to stay cool. I'm scared to fire it up...I just need to be ready to take a drug test anytime.

Okay, this means I have a personal issue not problem. It hasn't evolved into a problem yet.

are we twins?

JerseyKRS said:

Love is in the air.

This is one of those laughing out loud moments. And it ain't like I have baby bills. I have adult concerns right now. Concerns that won't go away!

Uh oh, maybe personal problems...

Hey, my birthday is April 19th and yours is the 17th. Aries get along very well. I can't ask you out right but you sure as hell can bring a bottle and some wings by.

You just made me hot.

JustErin said:

harlot....

roodboi said:

Is he married?

I promise not to talk about my personal shit. And since I'm having these issues, I may get really intoxicated so I can be good company.

JustErin said:

JustErin said:

not for long...

Nope. If I was I'd be even more miserable. A wife would be on my ass now. That's another personal problem.

JustErin said:

AlienX2050 said:

No prob. I'm always drunk.

JustErin said:

and people say there aren't any classy ladies out there....

roodboi said:

That's me! Miss Classy Extraordinaire!!

JerseyKRS said:

i've had to use the jerry seinfeld line on strangers before: "sorry, i'm not looking to make friends today." i felt like an ass for saying it, but i was only speaking truth.

Anxiety said:

Please. That's being polite compared to what happens if someone tries to befriend me if I'm in a bad mood. I usually icily say, "I don't talk to strangers" and give them the evil eye. In New York you cannot entertain the talkers. People will try to yap your ear off about the most inane things and when I am on the bus or the subway or out doing my own thing I do not want to be bothered.

i think living in new york is when i LEARNED to deflect chatty strangers in public, because there, random people on the street either want to be your friend because they want to sucker you out of your money, or else they're nutjobs in search of someone they can corner and impose their hours-long rants upon.

of course, moving back to the midwest, i have to loosen the armor a bit, because these days, sometimes "how about this weather?" means exactly that.
