Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I am too for the most part, but when someone goes on and on about whatever and then at the end of the conversation it's like oh yeah almost forgot about you...like I said an afterthought...almost saying it just to make them look good, not really meaing that you were on their mind.

Ombre Vivante Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 You'd finish that conversation with a languid, hazy, "Huh?" Just to let them know you weren't listening to what they were sayin' Although, I'm more likely to think it's kinda cool someone thought of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Sometimes people are a little inhibited to tell people they thought of them, and it's easier for them to say it like an afterthought. Plus there's less chance of rejection... for example, if they thought of you constantly but were worried you didn't think about them, so they throw it in as an "Oh, by the way" to get your feedback and reaction. Generally, I like knowing I'm in someone's thoughts. But there are those stalkerish occasions when it's just frightening and revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 This little topic inspired me to write down a quickie poem. It's fairly awful, but cut me some slack - it took all of 5 minutes. Pouring rain, and school’s a pain; I fell asleep in math Then the test ~ No personal best ~ I slipped clean off the path. Driving home In the zone, Roger on CD. A hurried lunch Nestle’s Crunch! Yay ~ chocolate just for me! Late for work, it got berserk, I twisted on a smile For crabby folks with crappy jokes and heinous sense of style. Home again time to pretend I’m a 5-star chef my poor kid says what I did tastes good, “Mom, it’s the best.†Homework, housework matters not – it lurks just won’t go away. I drop in bed feel like I’m dead then the day replays… I close my eyes and recognize There wasn’t time to say though today is done you are the one who was in my thoughts today.

Jenny Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 It's very good, Shawna. I don't think I could come up with something like that in five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The point I'm trying to make is that people think about you more than you know... and just don't say anything about it because of time, circumstances, whatever. *stepping down* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I was just sharing a thought...didn't think it would cause such a stir... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I was just sharing a thought...didn't think it would cause such a stir... no worries... just struck a nerve. But not in a bad way. In a way that made me think. You're a writer, though, so you know what it's like when you get an idea in your head and then it's like you can't rest until you get it out in written words. That's where this went with me. My appetite is now whetted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ok cool...I did enjoy what you wrote Shawna. It was just a touchy subject for me when I posted the first post. As I said it felt as if I was just something they thought of just to make me feel good, not because they really thought of me. Anyway...I'm cool, always am.

At least the person made the effort to try to make you feel good. The glass is half empty? They said what they said in an attempt to agrandise themselves in your mind by being thought of as "considerate" (but they come off as "fake").

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thank you Lea, you are a sweetheart. I've just been out of sorts as of late, someone I care for has just kind of put me on the back burner so to speak. Guess I was just feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Shawna Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 the brace I have to wear on my wrist constantly to alleviate my carpal tunnel syndrome, which has been excruciatingly exacerbated by the constant speed building on the steno. Weirdly, wearing this brace really weakens the rest of my arm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yes, I do, Joe. I thought it would cause me to not sleep as well, but then I forgot what a true joy ambien is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
