sort of out of sorts

[floatingleaf]

Made an entry last night. LJ ate it. Tried to retrieve the "autosaved draft" that's supposedly there somewhere, but had no idea how to find it. Gave up, went to bed. I start posting today, and the first thing that happens is my browser asking me if I want to retrieve the autosaved draft. NOW, when it's sort of outdated anyway. Grrr.

I guess I'm just a moron on the technical issues. At least changing the layout is easy enough even for me.;) I've been sort of tired of the old one, and I like this one much better.:)

So... here goes a fragment of the fabled "autosaved draft": I had a complete BLAST watching Dot the i. God, what a movie!!! I love me a clever, twisted plot. As well as characters that surprise you and make you use your brain cells to figure them out (which reminds me: the HOV DVD comes out next week! YAY!!! :). And the cast is beyond brilliant. Not only Gael, but also Natalia Verbeke, who reminds me a lot of Angelina Jolie (which is always a good thing ;). And James D'Arcy - a suave, heartless villain pretending to be an angel on earth. Yay.:) What a twister. Delightfully provocative - but still satisfying, because it all makes sense somehow, and everyone gets exactly what they deserved in the end. *wicked grin*

In other news... I am being a bitch again and ignoring a nice girl who wants to chat. This nice girl responded to my forlorn dating site ad some time ago (forlorn because I never ever check that site - or any other dating site, for that matter - anymore), and I wrote her back because I felt her email deserved an answer. I did tell her, however, that currently I am just looking for friends. She seemed okay with that (especially that she supposedly met someone else while waiting for my untimely answer ;). And we did have some nice, friendly conversations. But now I'm beginning to feel sort of uneasy. She keeps trying to flirt with me, showering me with compliments etc. (even though she barely knows me, and all she's ever seen of me were two lousy photographs), as well as complaining to me about her current girlfriend (whom she has only met twice, btw, but nevertheless insists they are in a long-distance relationship). I do not like this situation at all, but I'm far too self-conscious to openly show it (especially that she's much younger than me and seemingly vulnerable). So what do I do? Start to avoid her, pretending I'm simply offline or away from my computer - even when I'm not. Deja vu? Yep, that's my classic method of dealing with unwelcome situations. Avoidance. As good a method as any. *snort* Hopefully she'll get the message (I know, I'm a cynical bitch all right). On the other hand, it's a pity, since I really thought we might become good friends. But I simply don't know how to deal with someone so obviously desperate and unbalanced - even if (or maybe because) I was like that myself not so long ago... *defeated sigh*

Hon, I understand very well about LJ. Mine is acting the same way.About the other issue,I understand quite well, also. It's hard to be true to things we think are right.You could use her friendship, but it is difficult because of her actions.She will understand your avoidance,but if she doesn't, you could try telling her the truth, again. Somehow, after some time to sort off things, people develop great perceptions. And you could win her friendship,after all.
I will hope for that. I found myself in the same situation not long ago...
Wish you lucky.
*Hugs*

Hey, thanks for your support.:) Human interactions are so complicated sometimes, aren't they? I don't want to end up hurting someone just because they seem to read too much into things - but I am also too soft to be blunt and say: "slow down, all right?" Though maybe that's what I should do (I've been dropping delicate hints, but some people don't read those too well, apparently... lol).

And btw, I love your icon.:) (makes me want to read some good porn...;P)

Does she live far from your place? maybe you should meet her? Just a suggestion....

I say that I feel uneasy because of the way she's acting towards me, and you suggest that I should meet her?... Hmmm... *puzzled*

Yes, you'd know then for sure if you want to get rid of her or...
