Everyday is like Sunday.

Warning: This is the longest LiveJournal entry ever, conveniently split up into segments so you may read at your leisure. Haha, like people read this thing. Never in my short-lived LJ career have I felt quite so unpopular. But it's alright. It has to be ( Read more... )

Hey! I read your journal! maniclise December 23 2002, 06:04:39 UTC

Wow. I dunno, that seems like a perfectly decent note. I'd be interested after a note like that... Ah, well. She must've not been very nice to begin with if she reacted in that way.
I've done the same thing - judged someone as 'looking like a nice enough person' but then gotten burned after trying to befriend them. Guys and girls. Not fun at all.

GAH! I'm sorry if I haven't been able to talk to ya. It may look like it's directly related to my getting a boyfriend. That was a big ol' part of it, but also, I had trouble getting up early enough to be on time for work so I had to get to bed much earlier. My dad was on the verge of firing me. Then also, I have been spending every spare moment with my boyfriend. I've even had trouble finding time to get with some old friends I recently found again, too. :/ I'm one of those people who can't seem to find a balance. But after the holidays I'll certainly try. In fact, I'd still like to visit you in your store sometime, if you didn't mind that. Well, talk to ya later.

I thought that note was harmless as can be. You'd think I'd be used to not being someone's cup o' tea. But it still hurts.

I promise my comment about good friends no longer talking to me once they got boyfriends wasn't referring to you. Our chatting was never very scheduled, always a pleasant happenstance. I'm sure our paths will cross again sometime. Frankly, I'm amazed that you'd want to spend any time at all online... by golly, there's smooching to be done!

yes, i was a brave little duck. and then i was a hurt little duck. but we always seem to dus ourselves off and try again, hmm? we're silly like that.

thank you for your kindness. i hope you are a lot more comfortable with yourself than i was with myself. i think you are. it's one of the reasons people like ya.

People always look for faults before they try to see the good...it's the shitty part of human nature....shallow and for the most part unavoidable. Everyone gets judged...and most of the time it's just because they don't understand.

I've just learned to ignore...

mudville December 28 2002, 23:53:24 UTC

I need to be taught how to ignore. :)

And ignorance is bliss.

Oh Rob....

I always read your journal. In fact, I always look for an entry from you, but they never come as often as I'd like.

I never heard this Church girl story before, and I am very proud of you for doing that. But, think of all that stress you caused yourself with the letter- all the times you wanted to give it to her but didnt, and then when she did have it, thinking about what she thought of it... you would have saved yourself from all that anxiety if youd just talked to her. Talking is key, buddy.

And everyone has been discriminated for one reason or another. it sucks but its part of life. There are a lot of jerks in the world.

ANd you dont just work in a retail store... you work in a TOY store. TOY STORE. Thats fabulous beyond words. So its a big chain toy store... its still a TOY STORE :)

I'm sorry if im not making sense.... ive been working at my retail job and im mentally and physically beat... i dont care what anyone says, its tough stuff :)

Talking is key, buddy.

Once upon a time, I used to wish that I'd lose my voice. And that I'd have to write everything down an never have to talk again.

I'm a loon, you know.

wow... i stumbled across your journal and found it rather interesting. this churchgirl reminds me of the many people i have tryed to befriend.... that stabbed me in the back ( ... )

Hi punkingirl

Thank you for stumbling across me and leaving a nice note. (See that, some people DO appreciate notes from strangers.) The whole Churchgirl incident did hurt my feelings, but I never should have gotten my hopes up in the first place. I probably seemed like some kind of stalker or something. Still, it would have been nice to make a friend. There are lots of fish in the sea... just not a lot of girls in the church. :)
