dave ferrence took me, marilyn, mayelin and april out for dinner to the greek islands. it was quite nice and we had a fun time. i discovered that marilyn stinks at looking surprised when she already knew the secret. i should mental note that. dave and i were discussing dyssomia today. it made me laugh. this is the defination... a sleeping disorder that makes it difficult to get to sleep, or to stay sleeping. hahaha. funny how some things in life contradict each other.
those of you currently located in k-town will know that we had our first snow-fall last night that stayed on the ground. we got 10 cm. unfortunately, this made me late for work. i'm sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn't my fault. i was ready on time, but i hadn't yet looked out the window so had no idea winter had arrived. i dug out my boots and toque then headed out into the peaceful outside. i reminded myself as i drove down my street that winter driving is different and i should start to brake a lot sooner than normal. i drove 80 tops on the way to work, thus making me late. but i'd rather err on the side of caution as they say. i'll have to revise my morning routine if i'm going to get back on track for being punctual.
i was surprised as i went about my day how i felt about the snowy outside. it made me feel cozy and nostalgic. it was nice.
i have a question for you... what is flirting? why is it done? what does it accomplish?? because people flirt with people they don't like quite often. WHY!?!?! i have nothing further to say on this topic, i'm mostly putting this question out there to be answered.
i'm too full to swallow my pride.

hmm... when you say the flirters don't like each other, you mean they don't like each other? or they don't even like to be in the same room?
I think people do un-romantic flirting because it's a fun, social way to interact with people and because they can. A little bit of witty repartée and some acknowledgement of another person's person do a lot to increase morale and make people feel like they belong. I do it all the time, but usually only with people who will definitely know that it's un-romantic flirting. wouldn't want to cause confusion!
no, i wasn't referring to an un-romantic fling. more like people often flirt with people they aren't interested in at all. sometimes people even flirt when in a relationship. the non-intent flirting confuses the flirt-ee and makes then think the other person is in to them. WHY? WHY? WHY? do people DO this????
There's a great Sex and the City episode about just this topic!! As far as Charlotte is concerned...it's all a part of the game!! They seemed to think that flirting is about power and getting your way!
Who knows??
However, I can say from experience that, often times, people (aka. MEN!) interpret the act of being nice as flirting (when it isn't necessarily the case)...and then you find yourself with a whole raft of problems!!
We should write a book about this!!!
oh, that sounds about right. a sense of power. i think you're on to something. humans are weird.
So ....marilyn stinks and she looks surprised..?
or she stinks at looking surprised?
oops, let me fix that.
I agree with beckless.. I totally like flirting, and do it a bunch. Generally with people that won't mistake the flirting however.
all this time i just thought you were a friendly guy ;)
Remember our convesation on the way home from Ann's? I think it ties in to this topic quite well.
hmm, which part exactly... (i'm raising my left eye-brow)
:)
