Ewwww.... I am e-mailing this girl in NC that is someone in my family's granddaughter and all I asked her was if I was in her contacts! She blasted me thinking it was too personal and now thinks that I have a crush on her! Do I look like a predator? Geez.. It makes me made, considering the fact the her grandma called her and said that I would be contacting her! Just makes me mad... *stomps off knowing that this thread will turn into a bad thing*.... Just had to get that out....

Any advice (why do I ask you guys? )?

Where is "NC"?

Anyways, she sounds obnoxious. My advice is to NOT CARE!

Don't you have better things to worry about? Like what socks to wear tomorrow?

I think you're overreacting - that is, if she doesn't know for real who is sending her the email, then she might suspicious - how did you introduce yourself?

We don't know what you actually put, for all we know you could have said hello and asked for her contacts or signed with your first name (or even last name)...just explain yourself calmly and nicely, if she's a git about it, then it seems you won't be able to progress things further.

I see...

How could she ask you "do u like me?" when you don't even know eachother? I can't see how that is possible. Is it...love at first E-mail now? (not saying there's is any love involved, but she appear to think so...) Oh man, things are just going downhill for humanity in that department lately.

Good luck though on explaining that you're not a predator. Hopefully, she might understand and answer that ridiculously personal question.

Excuse me if that had a rude cling to it. Little tolerance towards silly-ness, if you will.

Whoopsie. Never did ancient mythology, and this is where it leaves me... failing at bad humour.

*bangs head on desk, fails at that because I'm not at my desk*

And I never had the nerve to skip school once. I'm boring like that.

Anonymous User is right. Well, it's what I thought. That predator guy was cool and if Zues really is one of those then I'd watch out.

...maybe that's where the idea came from that the gods were aliens and the crop circles and stonehenge... ZUES IS THE PREDATOR!!!

...or is he?

Well... No, my name IS actually 'sinisterstuf' not 'Sinister Stuff', a misspelling resulting from the former having too many characters with no spaces in between

Amusingly...I did think that.

It's all right, I caught somebody singing 'Odin god of thunder', I mean at least you got Zeus's thunder right.

As for the desk, if it's a random stranger beside you, then all is forgiven.


If you're looking for 'connections'...then people liken me to predator (they did when I had me dreads) and I've also been referred as "Our resident Viking"...so...was Nex's Thor slip up really a slip up?

Kind of unfortunate being likened to Predators and Vikings by my friends I guess.

I think that's horrible typing, sorry (Very unreadable, and has a high likeliness to be misunderstood). No offense.

Anyways, that question doesn't sound too personal, but how could you NOT know if you were in her contacts? (MSN/AIM/Yahoo/ICQ contacts I assume) If it's email or phone contacts then what do you care?

Also this message:
Quote: "do u like me (LOL.)?or something"

Doesn't look serious at all. I'm not sure if I understood everything you said or not, but it doesn't look like something you should be mad about.

Also I believe the word you're looking for is "damn."

Cheers,
