I mean, I know people have to be eased into conversations starting with safe subjects but I cannot stand the whole "hi how are you", "good, how bout yourself?" stuff. And the automatic, obligatory, "HAVE A GREAT DAY!" salespeople say but don't really mean.

1/4/2008 3:29:45 PM

i think about that at work ALL the time(saying have a great day but not really meaning it, just saying it cause its a job and people expect it

1/4/2008 3:31:30 PM

if you expect nothing from someone you'll never be disappointed.

people do set themselves up to be hella disappointed sometimes. i wish i could go to work, skip the nonsense talk when i first arrive with my boss, and just go right up and ask, "do i need to link each faculty member's personal webpage to the directory page as well?"

instead, I have to have a 5-10 minute "catch-up" conversation about the whole winter break, holidays, this coming semester, blah blah blah blah blah.

small talk is a waste of my day. i think that people should just be more straightforward and get to the point without having dodgy "how are you?" statements thrown into the convo.

1/4/2008 3:37:58 PM

i'm definitely not ever gonna try to talk to you on campus lol

1/4/2008 3:40:20 PM

I like small talk...its the highlight of any conversation...whenever the discussion eventually progresses into the subject at hand, I lose interest

1/4/2008 3:43:06 PM

haha. no, please do! i guess i mean more like i hate smalltalk with people i'm a) never going to interact with again usually (ex: salespeople), and b) people who should be used with my presence in their lives already (ex: coworkers, family, good/better/best friends).

i mean, does it really make you feel better when the person hanging out the drive-thru window at mcdonalds tells you to have a great day? he/she means nothing to you, has no impact on how your day is going to be unless they completely fucked up your order, and has probably said the exact same thing to the person in front of you in line, and all the millions of other people she has greeted who have decided to clog their arteries with greasy fast food.

1/4/2008 3:47:42 PM

ok if the situation is right(ex. you are alone; not talking to female friends; i feel ok; i am wearing good clothes that day) i'll still talk to you...hopefully the weather wont be nice so i dont mention it

personally i kinda like talking to you more on tww...its way easier and stress free

If its said with a sparkle in their eye and a twinkle in their smile it makes my day better.

What would you rather talk about... this train wreck of an election coming up?

1/4/2008 3:52:20 PM

I hate it when you say a generic "What up" or "Hows it going" and people take it as an invitation to tell you about their problems

Its like hey, I was just being nice...I really dont give a shit

1/4/2008 3:54:02 PM

if an AIM conversation goes like this:

cooldude42: hey
me: hey
cooldude42: what's up?
me: @ work.
cooldude42: ohhh cool.
me: yeah. what are you up to?
cooldude42: nm, just chillin
me: nice, nice.
cooldude42: yup.

then i feel like it's pointless...because the only thing bit of useful information that lets me know them better or them know me better that can be gathered from that convo is that I'm at work.

yeah see thats why i dont even im hot bitches anymore...all the convos would go like that

1/4/2008 4:01:06 PM

Yeah

would you have the same conversation though with a significant other over the phone just to hear their voice though....
cause i've had girls call me... and really not even talk... just want to feel together...

1/4/2008 4:01:19 PM

AIM is mainly for bullshitting tho

Whenever I have anything important to say I just call the motherfucker

1/4/2008 4:01:34 PM

pfft

id rather use aim that a phone

1/4/2008 4:05:07 PM

see that's the thing...guys are cool like that cuz when they make phone calls, they had an initial purpose for dialing. girls on the other hand, like to "talk".

me: hello?
girl: heyyyy what's up??
(convo goes like above AIM conversation)
me: so was there something you needed?
girl: no, i was just calling to talk...

and i can't stand when you're on the phone with someone and there are these awkward, silent moments. blah.

1/4/2008 4:05:22 PM

^thats what i like to hear

1/4/2008 4:07:16 PM

my mom probably knows i have no game...shes like we dont use any of our cell phone minutes...she said i use less than her...i was like "i hate the cell phone..."

1/4/2008 4:07:51 PM

I can handle every chick I know and hang out with for the most part

I can blow them off and not give a fuck all day long if I'm not 100% about a girl

but I'm scared shitless and don't know what to do around a chick that I actually like

I really hate the mindset I've been forced into


thats my daily confession


now I'm gonna go fishing and I'll be good to go, because when I'm running 70 mph across the ocean on our big ass boat and watching shit fly by and I start reeling fish in, I don't worry about a damn thing but catching fish and enjoying myself

salt water is the best drug in the world

1/5/2008 4:10:54 AM

I am e-stalking some chick.

1/5/2008 4:44:44 AM

i think i had food poisoning last night and still feel like shit

its never good when you're so nauseous that watching a basketball game makes you feel worse due to all the running you see other people doing

1/5/2008 8:03:13 AM

i am currently trying to figure out what i ate that has cause me to visit the toilet twice in the past 10 minutes....also, i'm glad elkaybie didnt see what i wrote about her yard sale before i realized it was the wrong address...in conclusion, i'm sleepy

1/5/2008 8:48:49 AM

^ may have been cookout, thats what i ate before last nights extravaganza

1/5/2008 9:56:44 AM

after smelling my milk this morning, it may have been my cereal yesterday

1/5/2008 10:00:05 AM

^^ no way, cook out is always legit.

1/5/2008 10:26:32 AM

I frequently go to bars with people I don't like, and spend lots of money drinking so that I can bear to hang out with them

1/5/2008 12:45:32 PM

i can count on one hand the amount of people i've met in life who are genuine, and good, without effort.

1/5/2008 12:47:43 PM

I came into this thread just to see what ^ posted. I'm nosy.

1/5/2008 1:20:37 PM

lol

and i feel bad, because what i posted isn't exactly a confession.

1/5/2008 1:21:54 PM

Eh

1/5/2008 1:23:04 PM

But I don't know if that qualifies as a confession

1/5/2008 1:43:36 PM

i need a healthy dose of apathy

1/5/2008 2:23:35 PM

on one hand that hurts my feelings since i've met you and i somehow doubt i hold one of those 5 potential spots

on the other hand i know im a nice guy so im not gonna cry about it

theres a confession, it hurts my feelings when people think i'm mean. but im also not the type to list all my good deeds. but i have tons lately, and its not community service!!1

1/5/2008 9:00:07 PM

well, our meetings have been sporadic. but, i will say, you have seemed like a cool ass dude every time. i more or less mean people i have to or have had to interact with on a semi-regular basis. i've met a few people whose first impressions (and, often, only impressions) were good, and you're one of those people. but those few interactions make for a small test field. but your posts also lend to the idea that you're an inherently good dude, too.

i like yous jackleg

that, and my "handful" comment was, of course, pretty exaggerated.

aha oh i know

i cant post real confessions here, thats what my weekly therapy visits are for

1/5/2008 9:08:58 PM

im also addicted to really bad tv shows
like the hills
i cant wait til it comes back on

1/5/2008 9:19:54 PM

i don't know what to do

1/5/2008 9:20:21 PM

I'm learning that my selfisness in my own experiences means I basically have no ability to sustain close, long-term relationships of any kind.

It's really bothered me off and on that there are only a handful of people I really consider friends in my life, but hundreds and hundreds of people that would consider me a friend of theirs. Is it worth it? I dont know

1/6/2008 3:06:34 AM

i have a long way of explaining things sometimes, so i'll say something, and instead of wanting to let the person interject, i just use what i'm saying to segway into what i'm really talking for...in short, i interupt a lot, and i'm gonna try to work on that...its worse when i

oh and i say some crazy, creepy, sketch ass shit on tww sometimes...need to work on that...not as bad as the interupting people IRL though

I don't care to invite people over to my apartment since it's always a wreck, thanks to my roommate & his 1 y/o Husky which have destroyed it. July can't get here soon enough.

im going out

1/6/2008 2:06:17 PM

if i make dinner for a guy... what do they assume it means?

[Edited on January 6, 2008 at 3:31 PM. Reason : i don't know why i posted in this thread... oh well ]

1/6/2008 3:30:32 PM

you like them

and instead of you wondering what cooking dinner for them means, how bout you just ask the guy what he thinks...sounds like either you are hoping cooking dinner leads to something else( ) or you dont hope he wants it to lead to something else just because you are cooking him dinner
