If he wanted to shag her/she wanted to shag him they'd have done it long before now. When I was talking about her last night his first words were "I told you, there's a reason I haven't and wouldn't go anywhere near her". She's a proper head case but all the best ones are aren't they? Probably.

I've never understood this 'chase me' game
if you like her, why shouldn't you text her? Why should it matter who texts who first? What if, by waiting to see who cracks first, you both lose interest because you both don't want to be the one that gives in? If you like her, go for it man. And best of luck with it.
(, Sat 14 Jan 2012, 17:16, Reply)
Normally I wouldn't chase any one to any great degree.
It's only because I'm going back on Monday and want to see her. It's not that I wouldn't text her, it's just I've text her every day this week besides yesterday (massive back and forth conversations each time) and I'm very wary of looking pushy.

Oh dear lordy, I went shopping again, I struggled to take it all back to my flat, there was so much, my fingers are still numb from the shopping bags even though I've been home for 15 minutes.
I got some purple scales to go with my purple microwave and purple kettle, they look like an old sweet shop's scales, big dial, metal, perfect for making cakes.
And I got a big purple pot for if I have 4-5 people around I can bake something if I want too.
And I got some caffine tablets instead of drinking energy drinks.
And I got some fags and fizzy pops
And I got some motzerella and salamis and mango chucknee, 'cus I was gonna make a pizza for dinner, but on the way home I decided to go into the mexican place and get a take-away and try their ribs, so for dinner I got a big load of ribs with coalslaw and chips and jellipino poppers and bluecheese dip.

For some reason my tablets this morning were really strong, they knocked me for six, so I thought some fresh air would be in order, so I went to the shops. OHOHOHOHOHOH I got a couple of t-shirts too.

I like that lots, did you go for green or black?
I can totally dig the whole bad-mood = spend-money thing, but is there anything that isn't so funds-absorbing you can go for? Like DVDs, or anything else that'll get you frothing? Not making any judgements on your cash here, I don't have a clue about them, it's just that it seems a lot. Maybe you can get the same releaf by finding a bargin of clothing instead?

I do the same thing on Play.com, but I also force myself to wait 'till the next morning, and if I still want it, depending on what it is, I'll get it or wait 'till payday. And when I was your age, I was a hell of a lot worst at doing that than I am now.

It's the whole consumerism world we live in these days, I could easily spend a grand on nice new clothes if I had a grand to spend. I saw some lovely stuff in Marks'n'Sparks today, and there are a few Closing Down sales in the town, but I stopped myself on account of already being satiside by the homewares.

I don't normally spend that much, this is by far my most outlandish angry purchase. By about a hundred and twenty quid. I don't regret it most of the time, by the time it turns up I'm well happy with it. I'd never buy nice stuff like this otherwise, when I'm of sound mind I'm reasonably frugal.

But I'm very fucked off today so thought what the hell. Although it doesn't always work out well, I still wonder what was going through my head when I spent sixty quid on a summer scarf. Still not worn it.
