Pay no attention to that woman, she's quite certifiably insane--purplish-blue and red knees are HOT. love
troglodyte:
Sure, but what are the chances of that?
troglodyte:
Well, I don't really remember which bus that was; I left a lot later than I had been planning to that day. I don't have class 'till 12:30, but I go to the gym first, so I should be on my way by nine, perhaps earlier since the gym's less crowded then. Crowded gym = frown .

I don't know what I'll be doing Saturday. You know I'm not really into the dancing, and that's what they'll be doing there, so I dunno. maybe as long as I can drink I'll be happy.
troglodyte:
Umm, do I want to know what the other two are? wink
virtuoso:
I'm finding you to be all kinds of awesome. Latin, video games, kneesox and legwarmers?

Your grandma is fucking adorable. I have had a couple of conversations with my mom on msn because she comandeered it from my sisters. It was pretty damn hilarious.

I wish I had of made it to the mod night! Next time for sure. The adam K has pretty much threatened my life if I don't blackeyed

If it comes to a vote, I'm choosing the former.

You answer me this? Why are girls from Canada so fucking cool? I'm not trying to lump people together but it's true! Every canadian girl is out-STANDING. You're the coolest....sigh....
cklarock:
Why do you need to work 50 hours a week? That seems like quite a bit. Do they pay you all with glass beads in Canada?

Your grandmother is *adorable*! Email is the best granparent invention EVAR. A friend once explained to me that among the 50+ age group, regular contact with grandchildren is the #1 status symbol. Your emails are putting metaphoric diamonds in her granmother Rolex.

Where's the line between being kind and relatively selfless, and letting yourself get trampled upon? These boundaries are never clear, it seems.



Here's my take, won through hard experience:

When you are kind and selfless, many people will view that as an opportunity to take advantage of you and/or flat out vic you. This is the way human beings are, and there is nothing you can do to change that. Remain kind, and accept that some individuals will prove themselves unworthy of kindness via their behavior and response.

Think of it like a sort of "courtesy call" where they are letting you know that they aren't somebody that is worth wasting time and energy on.

If you continue to treat those users with respect and kindness, however, the fault becomes 100% yours.

grandmas and emai are so cute.

and a brief note on kindness and standing up for yourself.

i don't know the extent of your kindness, but a few of my friends are such good people and yet they get trampled, and it is my worst fear that they are somehow changed by that.
icantplayguitar:
actually my worst fear is that a small bug will crawl up my you know what when i'm swimming and lay eggs.
weetzie:
Hah, I wear knee socks and legwarmers here too. And then my legs turn into chilled sausages.

I've LJ stalked you, just a little bit... smile

Well, if I am buttering you up for marriage, is it working?

I'm a reeeeaally good cook. All I ask is for your precious canadian citizenship!
