Today, I feel cornered. It's one of those lovely days when nobody wants to hear me say no, so they keep asking the same questions.
It's great being sought after, don't get me wrong, but seriously. I have more work than I can do.
And then there's this guy. He calls me constantly, and if I don't answer, he just keeps calling. (And I hate that. It's not cool. Why do guys do that?)
I find I don't want to do anything or say anything or tell anyone where I am, and yet, I want to cling to people. And I hate when I get like that. I want to be around people, but I don't want to be around people, so I go look to see if there are any people around. And I annoy all my favorite people when I'm in this kind of mood because I'm like a small child: "Look, look, I have buttons on my shirt. No, no, it's really important because they're blue buttons." I don't have anything relevant to say and I don't want to say it anyway, but I desperately need company.
So I guess it's no wonder that I feel backed against the wall. Even I want more from myself than is humanly possible to give.

You are Neat-o.
Mel, you always make me smile. You are Neat-O, too.
Posted by: Lo at March 24, 2006 09:43 AMI can't top mel, but would you like me to call you constantly? I could totally call and call and call you, even if you answered the phone I could hang up and call you again :-)
I am unsure why guys do this, but I am guessing it is some sort of mutated gene.

Dr. G-- I don't think I would have been up for it anyway. I was pretty sick still. But I do miss you!
