Apparently, the correct reply to me saying 'thingy' (I believe only if not contained in at least a vague attempt at a sentence) is 'Buh!'. If nothing else, it results in much breathless laughter on my end (at least if it's someone who saw my excessively 'thingy'-ful post from recently).

I _MISSED_ work group. More specifically, I missed working with energy. We'd been doing an awful lot of journeywork-like things for the past bunch of meetings I'd made it to, which - while interesting enough - are not _nearly_ as fascinating for me.

Wee, energy work! Wee, spontaneous partly-related return of libido from the depths of exhaustion and stupid kidney stone and stomach bug! (probably also related to lots of other things, but I suspect playing with energy helped quite a lot)

I. Am. Not. Subtle. Even without a 'Buh!' (At least not usually. Probably because subtle Does. Not. Work. on me)

"Stop chewing!"

(Meow!)

Punchy dancingwolfgrrl is fun!

I am pleased by work group, not just for itself, but because I don't think I would otherwise have become as close to as many of the members as I have become. And that would have been sad! Many nifty peoples...

There was Zim and snuggling with volta last night. It was good! The insanity of my past week rather meant I was low on snuggly goodness, and hadn't even realized it! This will not be a problem for ~3 weeks, starting Weds night. *glee*

I sleep now. For there is work tomorrow!

Meowing! And Zim! Hooray!

Mew!

Ziiiiiim! And Volta. Two great tastes that taste great together. :)

Adam always knows exactly what I am referring to when I say thingy. Part of why I had to marry him.

One excellent sign of a good relationship (friendship, etc) is understanding the nonsense words, tonal syllables, and tones in general.

(Murfle? Buh!)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

As promised:

Ha!
That is all.

*grins* BUH!

Ask deyo to let you know some time how I responded to flirting eight years ago. I haven't changed much, either. I'm deeply clue-impaired.

*amused* *makes mental note to ask at some point*

I haven't changed much, either.

I would, actually, not expect that to change much over time. I think I'd be shocked if ever I started figuring out flirting without a lot of help or a lot of obviousness on the part of the flirting person.

I _am_ better than I used to be, perhaps because I tend to have people indicating interest who are friends with me already, making it somewhat easier for me to read them, and making them more likely to be aware of my intensely verbal nature.

If it weren't for the fact that it would definitely increase the number of people indicating interest (and probably _sharply_ increase the number of uncomfortable-for-me-people indicating interest), I'd probably be better off wearing my "Don't just flirt, hit me with a clue-by-four" button. ;)

Oh, look! I babble! :)

Well, that's one of my issues. I've had to deal with people who either don't interest me (and who either don't understand or don't respond well to my letting them know that) or are unpleasant about expressing their own interest enough that I've gotten kind of wibbly about how I flirt. I don't want to encourage people, but I do, and I'm really bad about . . . messages, I guess. I'm not good at verbalizing it. I've had two cases in which someone thinking I was "interested" was not only wrong, but I had no idea the other person was even operating under that assumption, go so awry that they caused social problems for awhile. So I get weird.

Yes. Oh, very much, yes! I _totally_ have this problem. Less than I used to (perhaps because I'm getting better at hanging out with people who are more comfortable with themselves), but still true.

Part of the issue is, I'm sure, that I'm friendly with people unless given a reason not to - which is apparently confusing. I'm also cuddly once there is a certain comfort level with someone, unless I have reason to _not_ cuddle - which is also apparently confusing. And, I _like_ flirting for fun. So me flirting may or may not _mean_ anything. Perhaps another part of why I prefer to be verbal about it. (ok, probably if I'm flirting with someone, there's _some_ interest, but there may not be enough for me to actually want to act on it)

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here?

Ah, wow. But, then, if you didn't know that they were thinking that, there's nothing you _could_ have done. No?

I am moderately amused by the fact that, even though I went to help you two move in order to spend time with you, I didn't actually spend much time with you! (reminded by this because I want to be having conversations like this without time-lapse, because they are interesting!)

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

I was really sad about that, but this whole moving time has been distracted/sad/distressing, etc. I hope the weather and events will be easier next time.

Oh, goodness, I certainly understand! I'm by no means intending to imply that I'm upset about it or something. _No_ desire to be adding to your stress. :)
