Your childhood wounds are showing. Better get that checked.

I bet she says to people, after giggling, that "I'm just pretty RANDOM most of the time!!! Heeheehee!"<br /><br />Give. Me. A. Fucking. Break. <br /><br />This girl reads too much Tom Robbins. She wants so very, very badly to be Pina in this story. She lies in bed at night after another day full of social failures, awkward interactions, and reading /b/, and she wonders why she can't become the girl she's always wanted to be. She thinks about all the times she was insulted and wishes with all her heart that she could go back in time to those moments, because NOW she has the perfect comeback. <br /><br />No one talks like this, no matter how much you people want to believe it. And IF anyone DID talk like this, you wouldn't want to spend a moment around them, because the whole time you'd be thinking "No one fucking talks like this!" It's the kind of dialogue you see in movies (and Tom Robbins' novels), but you would never want to actually have a conversation like that. <br /><br />The worst part of this whole masturbatory shitshow is at the end, where she proclaims, "Weirdest date I've ever had... and possibly for him, too." This girl just looooooooves weirding people out! Maybe if she just acts RANDOM and QUIRKY enough, people will like her!

Then no matter how long she has known you or how much of a freak you are, sex will happen!" The amazing part is how often people will employ this tactic even tho it fails over and over.<br /><br />I will never fail to be surprised by guys that will get torpedo a chance with a woman who is clearly interested if she just needs a bit more lead-up and doesn't strip at his first pass. Anyone that found this girl bitchy doesn't do well with ladies. Lebowski is dead on here. She really tried to guide him back to a successful date, but he couldn't see the pussy for the bed.Fizzikshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250419387011790014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-64535216634124926912010-05-10T09:35:30.940-04:002010-05-10T09:35:30.940-04:00Even though it had the slight scent of bullshit ab...Even though it had the slight scent of bullshit about it, I love this post.
