Not like that...she actually gets angry!

Hey your hair looks really nice today Nick!
No it doesn't! You're mad! Don't be stupid, it looks awful, it always does.
No I think it looks nice. It's just my opinion, you dont have to share it but I thought Id comment
Well dont

RF said, "If you click on "who's online" at any particular time, there appear to be a lot of people (currently 104 on a Sunday evening) and yet very few people posting."
So many of us are in different time zones, you see. When I'm onsite, it's during MY evenings, which is normally PST, about 9 hours out of sync with England (maybe as much as 11).
The convos I post to are probably not the hot ones going in your peak posting times, in the UK.
Mostly, I just don't post, because I don't want to get jumped on!!

*jumps*
sorry I couldnt resist.
Talking of threads about people...Ive got two friends who used to be my friends separately and were GREAT friends. Then they met each other and now they spend ALL their time together and are better friends than I was with them. Due to paranoia and bitterness I dont even bother talking to them anymore...

I gave up trying to complement girls, no matter how hard i try they always turn it round into some kind of insult.
I remember when i first joined the site, i became so good at killing threads just by posting on them, that i considered hireing myself out as a thread assassin.

To go back to the original paranoia issue I've never thought that there was this secret cabal.I do however have this thing about being invisible especialy like Ictoan when I manage to close a thread.Very worrying.

I often manage to kill threads...i used to wonder if I smell odd or my typing is so appalling people get scared away. Now I just bumble around in a very small section of the site with few friends...which is a shame as Id like more!

Kat said, "Not like that...she actually gets angry!"
Then I'd have to say, it's her and not what anyone else says.
It seems to show a high degree of irritation or possibly even defiance. Has she had some reason to stop trusting people, sometime in her life?
Best solution might be to just give her more space for a while; very hard to do, though, when you share a flat.

Yeah, time zones make a bit of a difference, but I don't think that there are threads of which I am *totally unaware*, unless someone posts at 3 am (BST) and no-one replies at all, but there's enough activity generally on other threads for it to drop off the front page!
On the compliment thing: women and hair. My ex would go and get her hair coloured. This wouldn't leave much change from £100. Afterwards, she'd come out complaining how it was all wrong, they'd done it the wrong colour, the highlights were too light, the lowlights too red, yada yada yada. So I'd spend ages reassuring her it looked fine, no really, it suits you, you look lovely...
Next time, she goes to the same hairdresser, and asks for the same stylist. You'll never guess what happened when she came out...

Unfortunately there's enough of us around that any thread is on it's own, when it comes time to die!

Isnt it strange how so many of us are thread killers and yet we're all having a thread thats going okay?
Girlfriends dinner will NOT go in the bin! I've worked hard to make it! It's curried mince with peas and smells yummy. If she doesn't appreciate it then tough to her!
Hair is strange stuff. Mine gets cut when I can put it up in a short pony tail. Otherwise it does what it likes as long as it gets washed every other day or so. Therefore I dont need compliments about it. By not worrying about things and just letting them go with the flow I get by with accepting compliments by remembering that they are the person's opinion and i dont have to share it but they felt it was worth enough to mention it.

In a sense there is a Hootoo inner circle, it is called 'The Cult of Nighthoover' and is led by Grand Maester 2Legs.
I don't know what goes on within the cult, but i do know it involves badgers.

moxonthemoon Posted Jul 25, 2004
Kat, if she doesn't appreciate it ( the dinner) I'd be worried. Have you already eaten ??? Couldn't you mange 2 portions I'm a veggie , other than the meat it sounds good
I agree about the hair, not all women are obsessed by it. as long as I have it ( hair I mean) I don't care how it looks.

Kat - From H2G2 Posted Jul 25, 2004
No I havent eaten yet. Its not even 8 o'clock yet so Im not hungry. Also when I get hyper I find I need to eat less. And I can survive on less sleep. This doesnt necessarily mean that I dont sleep lots...just that if I dont then its okay.
You know I got told once to remember how to spell necssary by remember "one sea but two ships" i.e. one c and two s. Why oh why can i remember that and couldnt just remember to spell it correctly?
Girls hair is important! It looks nice and is good to run your hands through and nice to look at and is sexy and and...Ive forgotten what i was talking about

Why does every thread I'm on end up talking about hair?
When *I* haven't got any?
It's enough to make you

Nog, look at it this way: It's already happened, one less thing to worry about.
And, of course, they'll catch up!

No hair is...well I dont feel the same way Mox does as that would be strange...but I do agree that no hair on guys does often look good.
Where in Cornwall did you go Mox?
*ponders whether she should just go and leave you a message instead of cluttering a VERY important thread*

moxonthemoon Posted Jul 25, 2004
No probs Kat, we are intellegent individuals who can multi task. I camped near Padstow, spent time out cycling and the on the beach in Newquay and Polzeath. I live in Devon so go down there frequently.Where were you?
I feel i need to back track slightly on the hair thing, I'm dont treat my own hair with complete disregard, I just dont mess about with it constantly. I cant bear women messing with hair and make up, once its done that it for the day where I'm concerned.
Nog, just how much hair do you mean when you say no hair ???
Key: Complain about this post
