I promise I won’t take up too much room … I mean, you know, if you don’t mind or anything … I guess I should be doing homework anyway so if you say no it’s no big deal … \*\* Hell, yea. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, this is an open house party. Well, basement party. Make yourself comfy! Mingle! Dance! ---

How long are you going to be? _statrs suspecting struuter wants help with school, because let’s face it, nobody else is nice to him, most of the time, unless they do_ And you’ve no reason to feel self-conscious. Maybe we can go back to your place for a bit, or mine. Whichever you prefer. I’m not about to try anything. Friendship with some people is more important to me than trying something. ---

You give me the directions. \*\* If you’re blushing, I don’t mind at all. And talking sounds lovely. I’d rather not go back to Swiddles’s party . . . I don’t much like big gatherings of people. I tend to prefer being with one person at a time. Your house sounds fine. Maybe if there isn’t much on tv we can talk or something. [aside: damnit, struuter, why couldn’t you have gone to HS with me?] ---

Yes!!! I have managed to embarass a cute guy! (see seriousart’s last post) ::does victory dance:: ::realizes she is dancing alone:: ::blushes & resumes cool & worldly facade:: and Nocturne, I hope that stray beer wasn’t the one w/seriousart’s retainer in it. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > _originally posted by jjjfishe_ > Great minds think alike! But of course! The big question is where do we go after that?
