Express Yourself
by admin • July 6, 2012 • * Safe for Work *, Co-Worker • 40 Comments
To My Darling A….,
Should we have the courage to state our intentions or keep them hidden from the world, should we try and be happy and live without the need for restraint?
Writing this to express myself a little better than a few words on a post-it note, I do feel words can make the difference, some to be treasured and others to be ripped into a million pieces, maybe it’s the latter for this. Was it improper of me to state my feelings, probably & now after a day I now realise it was foolhardy but the damage is done. Can it be repaired, I hope so, I don’t want to spoil a relationship that has grown & I do really enjoy your company.
You see I have never felt like this before, I have been holding back these past few weeks but all it does is make me feel it even more. When I am near you and looking in your eyes, my heart races and I go weak at the knees, stumbling for something to say or speaking a mile a minute. Even when you’re not there, you’re always in my thoughts, when I pick up a book to read, lack of concentration because you’re there, even before I fall asleep you’re there and when I wake up you’re there. I have to admit it does make me smile without even trying when I am thinking about you. To my heart you’re the most important thing to me and I would be damned if I do, damned if I don’t by saying nothing at all.
Maybe I am wrong but I thought you felt the same or at least I felt there was something there to nurture, I know you like being friendly it’s part of your nature so I picked up the wrong vibes and went in the wrong direction.
I didn’t want to come across as arrogant & ignore your presence it’s not me & not wanting to make you unhappy as if you were the one who did the injustice.
You know I would do anything you ask of me and after thinking all this through I know you would ask me to forget all this, gee, to have the bottle to say everything above only let it all go. I know you said you were flattered by my comment which pleased me no end. When I suggested a drink after work to maybe discuss things further, the look you gave, well let’s say I might have been pushing boundaries, now thinking this is all in my head.
Now I want to scrub all this and drown myself in a few glasses of wine, okay maybe not the best way but it helps the mind from over racing & over thinking.
Come what may from this day forward I will always be your friend, if you let me have that privilege of course.
Yours Where Angels Fear To Tread

Well MM, guess I feel for you, must give you full marks for putting it out there, I also have a a growing relationship with a co-worker, she is slightly older than me. We go out for drinks as a group & I always end up talking to her the most, funny she never talks of her home life so I don’t know what the situ is there. You said she was flattered by your comments, maybe one day or I am being an optimist, good luck in the future my friend. JB
MM,
You have my absolute respect for expressing yourself the way you did to her, even if it was on a post it note. As a woman, I can only tell you that she was most certainly flattered but may have been completely thrown off a bit by your words and maybe even a little scared.You have done nothing wrong it seems. You took a chance. Maybe you need to take another. She may be thinking the same thing you are, but taking her time because she does like you and is trying to figure it out in her head too.
And know this, even the strongest, sweetest woman- still like to be chased. I know it sounds cliche’ but it’s true sometimes. You are just getting to know her. If she is romantic at all…she will want you to do it. Sometimes we woman need a TON of convincing, otherwise- it’s not special.
Keep doing what you are doing… just let her know she can trust you. You don’t know where her heart has been. Don’t dig for information on her- talk to her. Keep talking to her gradually and don’t expect it overnight.
Cheers, I hope the wine is red… mine always is.
Good Luck,
Angel
Good grief… sorry about my grammar issues on my response to you.
Damn wine..
haha..
Thanks JB & Angel for your support and advice, it is kind of scary because every time I do talk with her I feel like a child again, I am head over heels, am i just being silly?
We had a nice moment yesterday when she looked straight at my eyes & we smiled in unison, with a little tilt of the head, then we both said “What?”. Then more smiles & laughter, I love it when she smiles, gee, I just don’t want to spoil this relationship, I do like the idea of the chase …
To Angel, it was red wine, mmm, and for your grammar, see me after class, lol, sorry couldn’t resist.
MM
MM,
Oh yeah, you got it bad. Sounds like she might too. You’re not being silly- It happens to all of us …. I had those same “childish, shy and innocent” feelings too for someone and they came out of nowhere . This has only happened to me one time in my adult life and I was completely overwhelmed with emotion. I felt alive again, so I know how you are feeling, but be cautious… those are powerful and sensitive emotions. When it happened to me, it hit me like a mac truck.
Make a little joke here and there and make her smile even more- don’t scare her away. : ) Build her trust , take it slow- but be playful… That’s the formula. This could be a very special thing.
P.S, And as for your red wine and after class joke, you have NO idea how thick the irony is on that very statement sir. Oh the Irony..down right hilarious to me.
Good Luck,
Angel
Your right my feelings are all over the place, a rollercoaster ride so exhilarating that it’s like a drug, I felt so good this morning that my colleagues are noticing this high I am on.
Okay it has only been a short few days since my little confession, need to keep it real, find out a little more of her likes & dislikes, make her smile & earn her trust …
Never thought I would believe in an Angel’s advice who happens to like red wine & maybe just maybe the teaching of others, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
MM
MM,
You are most welcome. I know you must want to scream at the top of your lungs in excitement, when it happened to me – I sure did.
I find myself even a bit happy for you in the hope that she will begin to reciprocate the same powerful feelings that you have for her.
There will be a time when you will need to jump, roll the dice and or take that leap of faith as some would say by leaving the thought of risk to the waste side… but not just yet.
Please keep me updated on your progress. We woman are suckers for a possible happy ending to the story and remain hopeful that romance is still alive and well in some parts of the world, and not only in the pages of a really good book.
Take Care,
Angel
Friday 13th, what a miserable day
Tried to catch her eye, just to see her smile but it felt like I was on a different planet, she is acting a little cold. I am racking my brains to figure out what I did wrong if anything. Will see what happens on Monday, I am determined not to give up the chase, hmm I am wondering should I show her the letter I’ll never send?
Oh well there is still that bottle of red wine, screaming drink me … lol
MM
MM,
You know, the day is not over yet. Stay hopeful! Do you know if she has been through a recent breakup lately or is with anyone right now?
Don’t worry- she may not have been as cold as you might think. She may just have some other things on in her mind and her own life she might be dealing with. I can tell you that if she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside- she is a deep thinker and therefore may need authenticity to reveal itself when the time is right. I am assuming that this person works with you or something of that nature , so there are other risks involved . She may be trying to protect that environment right now for both of your sakes , as well as her heart. If she is doing that, then she is genuine. Hang in there.
Next time you see her, try complimenting her gently on how “lovely” she looks or ask her about something you both know about to break the ice. She may like you and is afraid to fumble for fear that you will see her nervousness. (that’s a compliment)
One day at a time my friend.
And for now, you may want to refrain from the letter that you’ll never send (although it was beautiful) ,until you have another sign from her that shows she is wanting to let you take the reigns from there and take a chance on accepting your chase.
Keep me posted. I’ll have my own glass of red wine tonight and wish you luck on your next play in the game. lol
Angel
Cannot believe how she makes me feel when I am around her, I am like a puppy dog & love is my master, sorry for the cliche but life feels so good right now. We are talking & she is letting me in, telling me things that are personal to her & I really enjoy listening, I have mentioned about meeting up for coffee at the weekend. To my suprise she didn’t say no, just looked at me in the way she does and she would think about it, well after about an hour, it feltlike an age, she agreed to meet, woohoo!
Ok now panicking on what to wear, casual but smart, should I bring her something like flowers or a small gift, the place I’ve picked, is it right, will it be bustling or quiet, ok I need to relax …
Feeling better, I have a plan, well that’s what I’m telling myself & everything will be fine, it’s only coffee
MM,
So happy for you. ! I would keep is casual. No gift or flowers just yet. Wait until you have a full fledged date- then bring the flowers.
Relax, it will be fine- its just coffee… Go for a walk with her while drinking the coffee maybe.. Is there a nice street walk or park near by? Sometimes it makes it easier to be out in the open but not where others can here your conversation. Keep it light and fun! : )
Have fun and let me know how it goes! : )
Angel
She hates me, she hates the way I make her feel, happy but vunerable, we met for coffee over the weekend away from prying eyes. Was it worth it, hmm, recalling the conversation I believe so, found out a little more than what was really required but it did make a lot of sense. Which I am not doing at the moment, to cut a long story short her partner, they have been together for 15 years on & off, they have a so called good relationship (1st love).
Now it was time for me to go/depart/leave & pay the bill, I did feel a little hurt inside that she had been leading me on these past few weeks. Sorry digressing, just thinking of me now, how thoughtless of me, I deserved to be punished, oh well guess I just have to get some bricks & mortar to begin rebuilding these walls she managed to crumble.
Back to point, she also mentions that her father had done the dirty on her mother & she would never do that to her partner. So now I am feeling like the scoundrel, the one who breaks up partnerships & families, not that she has any children, sorry, just got a little dramatic there.
Guess I am annoyed of myself than anything else, again though it does come down to trusting your gut & going with it, who knows what might have happened if she didn’t carry that excess baggage. I have had time to digest the news & I feel less angry and hurt by the hour, I am glad she told me out of the work place.
I received a text a litte while later from her to see if I was okay & could we still be friends, I nearly replied with a few flippant comments but decided not too. It’s not her fault, wrong time, wrong place, I did reply of course & said “Not to worry, see you Monday.”
A bottle of red wine or two does come in handy & please remember before drinking to hide your cell phone or delete her number at least. That way you won’t regret anything apart from hangover the next day .. now that was a mother of all Sunday’s!
Yours Where Angels Fear To Tread
MM
NOTE:
One broken heart for sale, owner no longer needs it, all that is required is some TLC.
MM,
That was quite a lapse in time since the last time you you mentioned getting coffee together…
Wow, it sounds like she is a bit confused , if you want my honest womanly opinion. She doesn’t hate you. It just feels like that because it didn’t turn out as blissful as you thought it might go. I’m sorry that it didn’t. : ( She probably wants you in her life -but to what extent, time will only tell.
If she has been with someone off and on for 15 years then she is clearly not emotionally available for anything more or new than friendship. Had she been openly flirting with you for several weeks? I am surprised that she discussed such personal things about herself if she knew how you felt about her, but everyone is different I suppose.
I know it hurts, but look at it like this… She is obviously loyal to those she loves, and was considerate to explain everything to you and checked to make sure you were ok afterwards. Most people would not take the time to do that. Most would play a much harsher game and leave you wandering down a dark emotional alley somewhere by yourself and would not bother to ever look back. That is the worst…
I for one ,am glad you at least made the effort- don’t be mad at yourself. We’ve all been there, and like I said, you at least received the explanation that you deserved . You would be far worse off if you had never tried. Trust me, I have several male friends who still talk about “the potential one that got away” because they did not have enough courage to try at the time.
I know these words might not comfort you right now because you were ready to let the walls come down all the way and that takes courage my friend. You’re probably a bit angry and non-trusting right now, but that will cure itself soon enough.
Just know this:
Your woman will come along soon enough and give you everything you deserve and more. You will be taken by her girlish charm, discuss life, laugh and drink your red wine together .She will light your world on absolute fire and make you feel as if anything in the world is possible because her whole heart is with you and you alone.
Now, that’s something to look forward to…
One order of TLC is served. : ) BTW, You can take down the for sale sign on your heart. Maybe you could rent for while? haha
Cheers!
Nice to hear from you again.
Brave Angel
To my Brave Angel, I must apologise for the tardiness of my last response, after getting let down I was a bit angry with myself & confused, so required a little time for reflection. I also got lost in my work, always keeping my new friend at room distance, so she couldn’t see the sorrow in my eyes. Cannot believe how much work one can do when you have that mindset for not caring to gossip or have idle chit-chat in the canteen.
Then of course the day came when I had to have a full blown convo with her, all work related but we ended with a conversation about me. Gee, how did that happen, I was being so careful, compartmentalised everything I do & say, she is good, another breach of my walls. This time felt different though, I do have feelings for her & would certainly go out my way, even fall on my sword if it was needed. I just cannot explain it, it’s like the sun bursting through the clouds, the happy ending to a sad movie, maybe I don’t feel tied to her anymore, that life goes on.
A few days passed and now it seems there is no need to keep my distance, as long as we do not show our affections in or out of the office, nobody suspects a thing. I am happy with that even if occasionally I catch her looking for too long in my direction, it does seem like we have came full circle but I enjoy this woman’s company & of course I still get tongue tied on a few occasions.
Thank you again Angel, your advice is sound & it’s great to know how the female species works & plays, I am looking forward to the day where I bestow my heart to another who will return in kind.
BTW, love the comment on the for sale sign, I am still smiling now
Kind regards
MM
PS
What kind of rental terms would you consider, I am open to suggestions?
Sorry to hear of your outcome, have to admire your bravery, only wishing I had the nerve to do what you did & not having doubts in my own life with “if only”.
Good luck in the future my friend.
JB
MM,
Hello!
Well, it sounds like you are handling this scenario perfectly if you ask me. No doubt you still have strong feelings for her and it seems that maybe you have a “remains to be seen” kind of relationship – Rather it turns into a friendship or into something more . Your work relationship seems to be doing just fine. Well done! If this were happening to me, I fear that I would not be as strong as you have been- Have you ever seen that beautiful quiet, clutsy woman in the office ? She makes fun of herself first before anyone has a chance to make fun of her as a way to hide all her flaws. That’s me! haha I fear my emotions are worn on my sleeves, my pant legs , my shoes and it’s usually written on my forehead somewhere. Some have even said they have seen my heart beating through my shirt.. haha I would have been a nervous wreck having a platonic conversation with someone , knowing my desire for them… Trust me, I’ve done it. I’m a train wreck with that kind of stuff.
Pathetically romantic it seems, but true.
I don’t fall for someone easily, but when I do- it’s a mess.. but funny none the less. So it could be worse, you could make a fool out of yourself like I have and physically fall in front of them. Like when I planted my face into the pavement, legs in the air and my heals flew off! That was a classic! Grown woman down on aisle FIVE!
You got this! Don’t do what I did… hahaha
Always a pleasure..
Angel
P.S- The rental terms and conditions of your heart are hereby the following:
1.) Owner agrees not to leave property unoccupied for too long
2.) Renters agree to take special care of property even when in pain
3.)Renters who create any damage to property shall not be eligible for lease renewal
4.) Owner of property shall not lock renter out of property in times of need or despair
5.) Renter and Owner make sure to keep property safe and protected.
Cheers ! : )
Thank you JB & especially to Angel, your like the Northern star, keeping me on the right path, the writing helps so much, putting thoughts to paper makes life so much simpler.
I have a few vacation days coming, so I am going to chill out & consider what to do next …
To an Angel who is confident & knows what she wants, I wouldn’t mind hearing more of your stories down aisle five …. lol
MM
PS
Looking over contract for rental, very interesting x
Enjoy your time off. : )
Ahh.. yes, I have a few incidents through the years that have managed to leave a few scars here and there. haha
I’m currently working on my “coordination” right now so those mishaps are no longer a factor when choosing the next suitor.
I should probably work on my own rental agreement, I’m not ready to sell just yet….lol
Chow for now!
Angel
Ok I am really enjoying the time off, not seeing anybody from work does wonders, no stress, no deadlines … freedom!
I have to confess that I did do a little sneaky thing before leaving last Friday & that was to hide her favourite bar of chocolate in her lunch bag. The reason she knew it was me is because I bought two the day before and shared one of them with her, without disclosing of course I had bought two. Ok maybe it sounds a little pathetic but I really have fallen for this woman.
My only stumbling block is her relationship with another & I do not see that ending in the near future. So why do I carry on as if I have a chance, it just doesn’t make sense, especially as I have accepted the situation, I think …
Going to need a distraction when I get back to work, oh I forgot this woman is the distraction … haha!!
Seriously though, do I let sleeping dogs lie?
Regards,
MM
MM,
Glad you are enjoying your time off.
The chocolate bar stunt is adorable! She will appreciate that.
So, The question is : Do you let sleeping dogs lie? Well, the short answer is usually yes but these things are insufferable to predict; the real answer is..I don’t know. You’ll have to use your gut on this one.
The truth of the matter is that the farthest distance seems to be between the heart and the mind. Emotion vs’ logic.
: ( If I knew the answer to this scenario or others, I’d be writing advice columns for what might be known as The Love Advice Gazette . haha
Angel
Angel,
Hmm, your advice is sound, so maybe “The Love Advice Gazette” should be on the cards, I think you would be great at it.
About the chocolate, well I am full of suprises like that, I love how you say it is adorable, it’s made it even more special.
Emotion vs’ Logic, yip my mind says one thing & my heart feels another, why does these things become so complicated?
Logic has me dropping my feelings for her & look in another direction, there is always a silver lining, one door closes & another one opens. I wouldn’t be here now, so that is a positive, I have met an Angel, another plus.
Angel, if you don’t mind me asking but how did someone like yourself end up here?
Chow for now!
MM
MM,
haha.. Thanks! If I ever find the time to stop and save the world from heartache, I’ll be sure to time out of my schedule to be the editor in chief of “The Gazette”… but I am FAR from am assuming that I am expert in the department of love.
Matters of the heart are always complicated it seems. Some have larger hearts than others and the rules change all the time within oneself. It’s maddening!
Why did I come here to Letters I’ll never Send?
Well, precisely for that reason. I needed to write and never send. A lot.
About a year ago, I found myself needing to get through a tough time in my life. Everything I had worked so hard for was seemingly crashing down around me. I had lost my job, due to layoffs, there was an illness , family issues and I finally had the courage to end an unhealthy relationship about a year prior to that. I don’t think I really dealt with the pain at that time, but soon enough, it reared it’s ugly head and found me. I needed an outlet to release all of my feelings and fears.
This was a place I could go to write what I was feeling and comment on others to help them as much as they helped me when it seemed that no one in my own life was available to seemingly mend my weary heart. After all, who wants to do that? nobody likes being with the lady who couldn’t have fun at that moment! They all have their own families and lives to tend to. I would not be a burden.
I stumbled upon this cite on accident while surfing the net and I still come here to make sure that my heart stays humble, yet strong. It meant the world to me to have these anonymous voices help me through such a difficult time in my life. I know the power of words and it truly meant so much to me. I’ve come attached to this cite- it comforts me when I need it from time to time. And I like to repay the favor- after all, what’s the point of writing – if no one is reading it? I really started reading some of the letters more closely. Most about lost love, but many were just people- often times, young people in pain- who simply needed someone to listen and support them – telling them that everything will get better and that they will get through it.
Things are much better now!
Since that time, I have changed everything. I am gainfully employed again. Healthier than I have been in a long time, back in school for continued adult education and I am active in my community with fundraising and such. Most importantly, I write again and my voice/confidence is getting back to where it was prior to that messy time in my life, and hopefully getting stronger. : )
Although the heals with always fly off my feet and I will remain that fumbling beautiful awkward woman in the corner, I can smile now, knowing that’s who I am. I wouldn’t have it any other way …
Thanks for asking. That was very sweet!
Chocolate Loving Angel…haha.
Angel,
Thank you so much for your reply, after I had written the question & posted, my brain clicked into gear & went OMG, what have I just done, prying into another’s life. After reading your comments though, I’m confident that you felt that I am not just another fly by night kind of guy, so I tip my hat as a gentleman should.
I do have apologise for asking you to re-live your dark days, like a distant dream that still echoes around you, something that is just out of reach or in your peripheral vision perhaps. You see I was there a while back & I kept a lot of things bottled up, not good but I managed, funny how we cope with life’s little mishaps. Maybe keep that tragic tale for another time & place, where acquaintances are much stronger, of course there is always a bottle or two of red to loosen the lips …
BTW “nobody puts Baby (Angel) in the corner!”. Sorry couldn’t resist your last paragraph, gee now I have to admit I like Dirty Dancing Haha!
Hmm chocolate loving Angel, how sweet, as well as red wine, starting to get a picture in my head, oh wait you mentioned school, oh darn it, wrong picture, I am joking. Let’s get back on track, that sounds good that your voice & confidence is up, the charity work, further education & your fit & healthy
How strange but I don’t want to stop writing & tell you more of myself & ask silly questions of you but this is the wrong place, also I have decided now what I am going to be doing for my own predicatment. After all the good sound advice you have given, I am going to let sleeping dogs lie, the reason is all logic.
1. She is with another
2. I work with her
3. If we did see each other & we split up, see point 2
4. I like being friends, see point 2
Oh the heart is a fickle thing, better to have loved & lost, than never loved at all, plenty of more cliches to add but you get my drift.
So without further ado I bid you goodnight my chocolate loving Angel
MM
Hey Angel,
Just a little thank you for choosing to reply to my letter, I cannot believe how many letters that written here on a daily basis and you picked my one
If you can listen to the song “Glitter In The Air” by Pink, replace phone ringing to notification email that you have a reply on Letters I’ll Never Send., so you feel your not alone.
Take care for now
MM
MM,
Hello there! It was perfectly fine that you asked that question. I really have nothing to hide in that regard. I can’t change the past, I can only make my life that lies ahead the means to my happiness. I probably babbled a bit, but I sometimes do that when I feel the desire to.
I must confess,Most of my writings are not on this cite- I tend to write short stories in my spare time. Those are private and are rarely revealed to just anyone. I do have quite a few letters on here from this past year.. ha ha.. Sorry LINS, thanks for putting up with me, but it really did help.
haha.. Nobody puts Baby in the corner! In my case, a corner in a classroom, drinking red wine and eating chocolate… That’s a classic. That sounds kind of sexy! That corner doesn’t sound half bad anymore… Now, I just need some sort of music or theme to go with this … Aha! Got it!…One of my favorite artist- Sade, sings a song called “Soldier of Love”… it’s a bit older but it’s still a rockin’ song! Now that is quite a combo! I must say that persona is quite fun to think about but eerily accurate of myself.
We’ll have to do one for you next…hmmmm
MM, You have been expressing yourself quite candidly on here since you wrote your letter and beyond. I do admire that trait in a person, So I find responding to you to be a absolute delight : ) You are clearly a good man and have the capacity to care and cherish someone deeply. I can’t think of anything else as precious as that, so I do enjoy our replies to one another.
Thank you for the Pink song! The words are quite comforting and I actually really like that song. I’ve seen her in concert before and she was fantastic!
I think you will make the right decision for yourself regarding this woman that you work with. It seems as if you already know that your worth reaches far beyond the confinement of just one possibility.
Now, I am off to do some much needed relaxing girl things today. I spend all week tending to others needs and wants, today- I hit the salon for a much needed hair appointment and then it’s off to meet some friends for a glass of wine, or two…
Always a pleasure,
Angel
Hi Angel,
Enjoy your day off
that’s what Saturday’s are all about, relaxing & fitting those much needed hair appointments at the salon & meeting friends afterwards, with drinks, a bonus. As a man I probably would have said your hair is fine, unless it was down at your knees of course, haha!
I am pleased you liked the Pink song & you seen her concert, wow, love the Sade song, have to confess my first encounter was “Smooth Operator”, now that is old, then the “Sweetest Taboo”, okay I think it’s time to move on to a different subject.
Glad you feel more comfortable in the corner, what with the wine & the chocolate, hmmm, I nearly said a chocolate covered Angel & you threw in the sexy bit. Okay, so you might have to join me on the naughty step, hahaha!
Now dreading what you have up your sleeve for me, I will have to wait in anticipation, oh so glad I am a patient man.
Your comments on my candid approach was quite revealing of myself that I didn’t really see. Guess I have always been this way & writing things down seem to portray it even more.
Angel, going to take a bold step here & put it out there, if you never ask you never get. Would you prefer to correspond this way or move on to where things can be a bit more private? Please, I don’t want you do something your not comfortable with & you will not offend. I am quite thick skinned and a grown up to boot, I do enjoy our correspondence & you have been more than kind with your words.
Will let you know how things go at work, I think all parties will be pleased with the outcome. Actually writing about what I had decided in a logically matter has taken a lot off my shoulders. No more what ifs and with the time off I have thought less & less of her. Maybe it sounds as if my cold but if I don’t do this then I cannot move on with my life & be happy.
The pleasure is all mine
MM
Hi Angel,
Just to let you know I did reply to your comment on August 18 at 10:29am but there seems to be a fault with the server : (
I’ll wait 24hrs before trying to post again.
Take care
MM
Hi Angel,
Having slight issues posting, will return in 24hrs or so.
Take care
MM
Hello there MM,
I had a great time! We sat around drank wine and made political digs all night. Tis’ the season!
Yes, I think there is a lapse in posting sometimes. The good people at LINS have lives I suppose. How dare they? haha…. joking of course.
I would accept your offer to respond privately. Hmm…I don’t know how that works exactly. I am assuming that if I give them permission for you have my email address, that would be the way…and then we can take it from there.
I don’t think it would be wise for me to post it on here. : )
It’s 3pm EST on the 19th.
LINS Admin, you have my permission to give MM my email address.
Lets see what happens. : )
Take Care,
Angel
Seems to be all fixed now, sorry for the double post …
MM, no probelem.
I think the good people at LINS are figuring this out… haha ..
BTW, It’s Monday- And although most of us find everything in our power to dismiss them, I had a good one!
Cheers!
Talk to you soon, I hope.
Angel
Hi Angel,
Well I don’t know who was more relieved her or me, I sat down with her at our coffee break, talking about my vacation & what I missed at work. Then with out thinking really I told her how it was and her reply, “Is it still okay to be friends because I wouldn’t want to change that”, I said, “Nothing really has changed & I didn’t want you to feel uncomfortable round me”, funny though through out the rest of the day, we still had those looks, maybe of confusion, not sure but come end of play as we were leaving we both said “We are okay?”, with a wee smile we both nodded & went our separate ways home.
So this morning I feel so much lighter, I still feel good that we talked yesterday, even though I have dumbed it down a bit to get to the point.
Not really into politics, it just seems a whole lot of hot air but I do enjoy a good debate, so glad you enjoyed yourself.
Not sure if LINS would send your email but I have an idea you might enjoy, that is of course if your up to the challenge?
Work calls, have to organise a day trip to one of our sites & we are leaving in the next 10 mins …
Hope to hear from you soon.
MM
Hi MM,
Happy Wednesday!
I am glad you were able to sit down and speak with her the way you wanted. As I said, Most would not take the time to do such a thing so your approach to your situation was very mature and manly, in my opinion.
Haha.. I certainly agree with you on the Politics and how much hot air it sucks out of life, but there are certain aspects of it that are very important and personal to me, so therefore I refuse to let idiots run my world to the very core! haha .. I try to use the common sense approach to almost everything I do, so it was merely a few friends sitting around, having a little debate about the insanity that is not just in US politics but world politics. You know, we woman have many ideas on how to solve world peace. Some of them are global initiative ideas on peace treaties, etc. but most of them are about battle between the sexes. haha.. Mainly, we feel as if we can both improve strategies if men would just listen more.
: ) … haha… Small joke at the expense of my new special friend.
Well, I thought LINS might allow this…
So, a challenge you say?….hmmmm… I’m game as long as it doesn’t jeopardize/reveal my privacy to all on this cite.
What is involved in this challenge, dear MM?
Angel
Hello Angel,
A very good Wednesday to you too, I have just finished a brilliant day, can explain more later as it deals in being part of larger organisation that could save lives if implemented
I was teasing you on the politics & why do men not listen because we have heard it all before, oops l am doing it again …. haha!
Of course I wouldn’t be jeopardising your privacy, this will be like a journey, a journey into the unknown, where reality becomes fantasy, something that will astonish & amaze you to the very core (btw this sentence has to be read out just before you listen to the Twilight Zone theme). Seriously though this will be one way & when you get where your going then hopefully I will be talking to you my Angel.
Task 1 – What is your favourite book?
Task 2 – What is your favourite movie?
Task 3 – What is your favourite color?
I was going to do things slightly different but I am just reducing the time factor, so if you answer all of the above then we can see what is behind door number 4. ….
Thank you again for your kind words, it’s like we are kindred spirits & everyday just gets brighter & brighter.
So my dear Angel, the gauntlet has been thrown at your feet, sorry placed, I meant placed at your feet.
A pleasure as always.
MM
Hello again MM!
WOW!, Now you do have me interested in knowing what you do for a living. Anyone who is part of something that involves saving lives, as you put it- is very attractive indeed. I think I’ll let my imagination work’s it’s magic right now until you return the favor of answering some of my questions:…hmm…
haha… BTW,I am perfectly at home with the Twilight Zone theme- but for your amusement, I’ll pretend that I am little frightened. I may actually LIVE in the Twilight Zone, so no additional stress if felt on this side of the world: )
You have some interesting questions here and I do enjoy them. I love so many books and so many movies,I fear that it was terribly hard to answer to them; however; I decided to play a little game with myself. If I were shipped off to an island paradise and I could only take one book, one movie and only see one color- what would they be.
So here are my answers:
Book- Bram Stoker’s- Dracula ( For sure! )
Movie- True Romance (I can almost quote this movie from start to finish)
Color- Lavender ( I love the scent of lavender as well)
I am curious to see what’s behind door number 4…
So do I get to play too? May I ask some questions or will this throw off your strategic charm? : )
Well, if there is no harm in asking- I have three of my own.
Question 1: Do you like sports and if so- what is your favorite sports team? If not, Alternative question is: what is your favorite city?
Question 2.: What is your favorite meal?
Question 3: What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
hmm…
This is fun. You make me smile.
Now, lets see what you have brewing over there…I am very intrigued.
Until next time,
Angel
P.S- You got an A for the day on creativity.. : ) No need to stay after class. Well done.
Hello Angel
Darn there is me looking for an excuse to stay after class, will have to try harder, thank you the “A”, my parents will be pleased of my achiements, haha! I am joking …
I am glad I can make you smile from so far away, I would like to continue as you smiling makes me happy & of course smiling too
Your answers have been noted & will be put to good use, just need to implement a couple of things then we get see what is behind door #4 …
I really like the idea of the island paradise, now my thoughts are racing, will have to behave myself.
Answer 1: Sports I like a mixture but don’t have a favorite team as such, so soccer with the world cup is sometimes good to watch, motor racing F1, grand prix. With that in mind I would like to go back to Paris & see it properly as it was winter time when I was there & everyting was covered in snow.
Answer 2: My favorite meal would be anything you like as long as I was in the right company.
Answer 3: Guilty pleasure hmmm, going to keep that back for a later time, I hope you don’t mind.
I am more than willing to let you know my job, please see answer 3.
Have a road trip coming up this weekend so might not be able to reply till Sunday night, will get a letter from my mother for my tardiness.
Have a great weekend, take care.
MM
Dear MM,
Did I pass the “quiz”? haha
I do feel as if you sort of charmingly side stepped my questions , but I’ll let it slide this time. Unfortunately, it does mean your current grade has slipped to an A-. There will be a chance to make up the points on the next assignment. Details of the make up exam will come at a later date.
I’ll be sure to come up with something interesting for you. : )
Door number 4 is still unlocked? ..hmmm.. I shall have to work harder on my own strategy then.
A weekend trip sounds relaxing. I hope you have a good time. I would love to do that right now but I have other boring plans but I do need some quiet time to study this weekend before work and classes again next week.
To be honest, nature may in fact decide to disrupt all of my plans for the next few days. It seems as if there is a tropical weather disturbance heading in my direction so my plans may be “blown out of the water”, for lack of a better term. ha ha..
If you have been watching the news at all, you can guess which coastline I reside within the U.S. : ) This specific area is quite a little paradise most of the time, I must admit.
We shall see. I try not to get too worked up over these things until it is something to worry about. I have my emergency plans in place in case anything should happen – just like a good little girl should. : )
Until then, my home necessities are waiting for me. Water, food, Candles,radio with ipod player and of course the most important ingredient. The Wine- Never go through a Hurricane without it.
So if things do get bad and you have not heard from me in a few days,you’ll know why. If you see a story on the news about a woman floating out in the middle of the Gulf with long dark hair , a smile on her face and a bottle of red wine in her hand, well, that’s probably me. hahahha…
Have a Great Weekend!
Angel
P.S. Letters for tardiness are accepted from Mother’s only, so that will do. : )
Dear Angel,
Will be back shortly, with the promise of door #4 …
Please keep safe, will be thinking of you.
A pleasure as always.
MM
Dear MM,
I survived the storm. Yaa! Not the first time, certainly won’t be the last. It was not as harsh as they said, so there will be no dark haired woman floating out in the Gulf to speak of… haha
Hope you had a great weekend.
I must sleep now- tomorrow is a long day of work and then evening classes to finish it off.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Angel
P.S. Hmmmmm…I think I may have found your door #4 but you’ll have to confirm that discovery. : ) If not, I shall eagerly await your next invitation.
Hi Angel,
I am so glad your okay & not floating in the Gulf somewhere god forbid …
Your spot on with door #4, once you find who wrote it, then just add gmail.com and your in business.
There was going to be a short story of girl lost etc. but I thought this was right down your street & easy to pick out for those in the know & eager for the invitation.
I hope you get through the day okay & the classes will be a breeze.
Take care
MM
