MisunderstoodMy other half rang a courier today to get a disc sent over to a client. The courier company asked what it was she was sending. "A computer disc", she said.
Half an hour later, 3 blokes in a van turned up. They looked a little disappointed to be handed a floppy disc: they were all prepared to shift a computer desk across London.
Have you been utterly misunderstood recently?

Curious LoveBeing a classic schoolground nerd, I have no courage. I was also infatuated with a pretty young creature called X. She was totally different to me, athletic, good conversationist (I am, but only around other nerds), good-looking... You get the picture. My friends knew - she did not. So they very kindly went and asked her out for me... without me asking.
However, the only time they had ever heard me mention her, I had only said her name.
So they asked the wrong girl. They did ask someone called X, but a different one. One who I was good friends with at the time, we were a perfect match. We both read the same things, liked the same music, played the same games (sadly not video games - my only qualm!). It had just never occurred to me to get past "just friends".
The next time I saw her, she wrapped her arms around me. We're still happy.(both 15)
