Have you ever... Options

[Persnickety]

... had one of those moments where you're across the room from someone and the person next to the person you're trying to communicate with thinks you're talking to them instead of the person you're actually trying to talk to. That's happen to me plenty of times. How about you?

I'm pretty sure there isn't already a topic like this. And if there is, I missed it.

[Reidar]

Yeah, that's very annoying. I always make sure to be clear about who I'm addressing, now. Yesterday in the school library, it was pretty packed, but I didn't have any problems turning to my friend sitting next to me and saying, "SO JIMMY. I HEARD YOU HAD DIARRHEA OVER THE WEEKEND?"
He turned beet red and meekly said, "Uh, I had an upset stomach, yes."
"YEAH, CRIPPLING DIARRHEA. HEARD YOU HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. IT WAS A COMPLETE DIARRHEA STORM."
Despite the fact that everybody in the library was hearing the conversation, nobody was confused about whether I was talking to them or not, so it's really just a matter of ascertaining the recipient. It could have been bad because the girl that he liked was sitting next to him, and it would have been embarrassing for him if she had thought I was talking to her.

Haha wow. That's pretty embarassing.

[Flaunted]

Happens all the time at my work @_@;
f**king customers. h8 u

[xoxoxx]

loved someone so much you'd give an arm for. not the expression, no, literally give an arm for. When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These f**kin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain
Just smile back...

The last time I saw that message was an eternity ago, one of the perks of being an OM.

On topic, though, I hate it when I'm walking down the street with a few of my friends and a random person coming in the opposite direction starts to wave hello. The worst part is, is that it looks like the person opposite of me is staring directly into my eyes, then I turn around and see they were waving to someone behind me.

I've done that so many times... but it's worse if you start waving to someone from far away, only to realize it's not really the person you thought it was (but some VERY random person). That's embarrassing. I usually pretend I'm waving to the person behind them then. xD

She was like 'Yes? Do you need help finding your parents?', and I was like 'Uh no. I was calling over my sister. Sorry if you thought I was calling you over here.' Her face was like and walked away and my sister came over and said 'Hey, you know her?' Gah.

you can talk to each other in real time (wow!).

1] I know what Meebo is. and I already have AIM, so I don't need it.
2] The topics already dead, so stop trying to be a smartass.

[xoxoxx]

the topic's being dead doesn't mean you can't create a new one. therefore, my advice is still relevant.

[Persnickety]

the topic's being dead doesn't mean you can't create a new one. therefore, my advice is still relevant.

But you can't create a new topic in a topic that already has a specific topic. I'll close this and we can make a new one, then. Yes?

[xoxoxx]

are you dumb? I was trying to say that you can create a new topic and have a one on one conversation again.

and no but thanks for the offer. I'm done because my point is solid.
