My breakfast was delish this morning. Even though my French toast is a bit too brown, I can see a lot of improvement in my culinary skills. Tres happy- I love breakfast.
Anyway, time to jot down a few thoughts.
Yesterday I took the bus home with K after uni. Along the way, it picked up a friend, but I was too busy surfing IG to notice. K recognised him and told me after we got home, and I'm kinda bothered by the fact that X didn't say hi or anything even though he was sitting adjacent to me. I know I do that sometimes, usually in the morning when I know I can't hold a good conversation. Sigh. A hypocrite I am. I don't know why it's bothering me so much though. AM I NOT APPROACHABLE?!
Do you guys ever get suspicious when you get a text from a friend you haven't talked to in a while? I got one yday and I was like.. Erm must approach with caution, what does this person want now? AND OF COURSE I was right, it was one of those "could you help me out with..." texts. I have no problem with helping you out. I have a problem with people pretending to be chummy/making small talk before asking. I know you want something from me, you know I know, yet you still beat around the bush.
Maybe it's "polite". But my conversational texts are always ignored/half assedly replied to by this person. It's irritating as.
Last pet peeve for this post: please don't call me when you are gaming. Or text. I was supposed to Skype J last night but it turned into one of those "uh huh... Yeah.. Mm" conversations.
B: anyway, today the most ridiculous thing happened ... <long story>
J: oh man, that sucks...
B: been up to much lately?
J: naw not really..
B: planning any holidays after you exchange?
J: yeah..
ZOMG PLEASE ELABORATE.
Turns out J was gaming. I was fuming. Thanks for initiating a chat you had no interest in. Fuarr.
If I had a brother, I might be a bit more understanding. But D has a zero tolerance on games at home, so I guess that's rubbed off on me in a way. >:( sorry boys, I can't help but think it's annoying.
4 screams of joy:
Dude I totally agree about gaming, it's SUCH A TURN OFF. Just saying.
And if people want something they should totally just send the message 'hey, how's it going, I know we haven't talked for a while but coudl you help me out with..'
No useless chitchat before!!
Wow. Being one that tends to do the "hey how's it going" [although I put the request for help in the same text], interesting perspective to present - noted for the future!.
EXACTLY DITI, so glad you agree on both things :D
And James lol, I can hardly imagine you being the type of person I was describing! If only they got this message!!!
Do you get those times when you ask a non-yes/no question and they answer with yes/no? Haha
E.g. "Where are you going?"
"Yes."
