Back to the OP, I hope I’m more popular than I think I am. ---

Only posting in the hopes that **picunurse** has seen post 107, which I have been wringing my hands over for a couple of days… ---

[QUOTE=Anastasaeon] Parsing… Was that me? Slow connection today, so I can’t go back and look unless I want to wait a half an hour, and I have to get to work. But if it was, I like you, and would like to know you more. My shyness is _crippling_, **M**., beyond what most people understand. ☹ I’ve been getting better, or I thought I was, because of my co-workers, but then again, it might be because I have no choice but to see them. And to be quite frank, this morning, before going to work, I feel kind of ill and weird, and I don’t really want to go. But I will, because I am a productive member of society now and I am contributing to the household finances. I am sure my actions are unintentionally maddening, but I cannot express how much I do want to see you more. I feel like crying just typing this. You know the first night I went out to trivia night? When I came home I sobbed all over my husband, and I told him I wanted to be able to do that more. I have a brave public face, even somewhat goofy, but inside I’m _scared to death_. I have a real problem, and I sincerely apologise if it comes across as avoiding you. I like you very much, and I hope I can keep showing up at trivia night. I always keep an eye on the trivia thread to see when you will be going, because those are the nights I want to go for sure, or at least I try to talk myself into going. So you probably didn’t know this, but you have been my crutch. If you weren’t going, there’s no chance I would go, even though I really like the others, too. You gave me that much courage, because you’ve been so kind to me. I owe you big. I’ve emailed you three times since trivia night (and a couple times before that), but no reply, so I have to assume I’m still having trouble. I need a gmail invite. I lost mine. Anyway, I suppose this leaves me wide open for some heavy mocking here on the boards, but I had to get it out and make sure you knew. And it will be that much more embarrassing if you either didn’t mean me, or I misunderstood your post entirely. But at least you’ll know _I like you_. [/QUOTE] Oh no, I was just being silly. I like you too! I’m so sorry I didn’t check in sooner. We’re leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow so I haven’t been here much. {{{{{ **Anastasaeon** }}}}} please don’t feel bad. I know you like me. As soon as I get home, we’ll go out to lunch, ok? ---

I’ll join! Except this brings me one post closer to 500, ack :(. I lurk, if you haven’t figured it out yet. I was dragged here from RL by another poster and I never really adjusted and out of spite I have decided not to talk much. Ever. Heck, I even did a search for **Shade** in the other thread™ hoping I could steal some glory from that for a “misspelling”. No dice. /S ---

The rest of my post got eaten by hamstermonsters. There should be: “Have a great trip!” tagged onto that. And something witty about money and Vegas and stuff. Okay, the witty part wasn’t there. But the “have a great trip” part was. ---
