I inadvertanly insulted one of my all time best friends; by forgetting he was a guy!! (in the 11th grade) I was modelling something, for a date I was going on, and he was like, "I like it," and I was like, "yeah, but I need a guy's point of view." Umm.......oops. Hee hee. In my defense; I was rushing around like crazy; we were so close we had sleep overs at each others houses and there were no secrets between us & his being a guy just wasn't how I thought of him. And no, he isn't ghey. LOL. Did NOT go over well.

My Spanish is pretty good for a white girl, usually. But not today. I walked my patient and his mom (both mostly spoke Spanish)back to the front deskfor instructions.


In Spanish, I explained to the mom that my assistant Rebecca speaks Spanish better than SHE does.Nice. I meant to say better than I do. Irealized my mistakeby theweird look on Rebecca's face.I tried to suppress mylaughter butit kind of came in uncontrolled waves -- I probably looked dementedas I backed away.


Who have you accidently insulted, and how did you react?

Oops. I can picture that, actually. Dicey,


So, your mom let you have sleepovers in high school at a boy's house? Wow, that was pretty open-minded of her, huh? You must have earned her trust!

We'd done it since elementary school; we lived across the street from each other; and actually, she still hopes we'll get married. Heh. Even when I lived in VA off and on, we still wrote and called and kept in touch. We even tried to date, a couple times, (he's a REALLY good kisser :P) but we skipped the whole passionate in love phase being such good friends, so we're like an old married couple (that doesn't have sex, lol). So, yeah. Just isn't meant to be. He used to walk in while I was taking a shower and talk to me; and it wasn't weird for me. And yeah; one part of him definately noticed I was a girl; but we never addressed it. He confessed once that he'd wanted to push things to the passionate level; but I just don't see him that way; so.......

Cute story! It may end differently than you think, though.

Laced; naaaaaahh. It'd be a nice romantic story;but it won't happen. a) literally; I have no attraction to him b) he wants kids and I will have a difficult time getting preggers and I tend to not date guys who don't have kids for that reason, and c) the rest of his family gets on my last effin nerve (which is prolly why he spent so much with mine growing up, because his are so annoying) and I don't see me having a successful romantic relationship when I wouldn't want to ever be around his family.

Hee hee....I used to use him as a referral service, though. "Well, what do you think of him?" and he used to complain that guys would ask him if I'd go out with them. "Ask HER" ~ apparently was not an answer they wanted to hear. LOL Ahhh; thanks for bringing back those memories.


(he's also so broad he has to turn sideways to get through most doorways, and has arms as big as my head, so if I ever need muscle, I have it :P)

I was in the mall one day, and happened to run into the recent ex (who wasn't the boyfriend at the time). We were standing there chatting, and another guy happened to come walking up who knew both of us, he was a radio disk jockey (the recent ex is also on the radio quite a bit, and they're both fairly well known around town). When the other guy came up to talk to us, what I meant to say was "And HERE's a real character!" but what came out of my mouth was "And HERE's a real personality!" Um, oops. Nothing like telling your friend they have no personality, eh? LOL. (Apparently he forgave me, judging from the four years we spent together later on....)
