haha ....

I like physics!

see that wasn't stupid........ Pavlina !!!

It was stupid, Abhishek, because I hate physics

*hate* or you don't like............. -ve or neutral

well...I hate it as a subject at school....but...when I'm not at school I'm quite interested....

yea and this is not school..........why? because its not boring so finally you like physics here

hmmm...yeah..kinda.....

So, this is probably something that guys and girls can answer.

Me and renee haven't been talking as much lately, but not because we're growing more distant. we're both verra busy lately, and have been busy with our own lives. but i'm really kinda missing all our conversations, and being able to know that she'd call or text me everyday. is there anything i could do to show her that i'd like to talk to her more often, like we used to?

^ Alright so I'm breaking the rule that girls are supposed to answer...just tell her that man! No need to make it harder than it has to be. Say exactly what you just told all of us, that you miss how often you two used to talk.

Just tell her.

I know it's tough, but it's a lot better then beating around the bush.

just tell her!
or, you could write her a song since you're musically inclined... just a suggestion...

mmm. I don't know. I think I would just tell her.

i dunno...writing songs is a good pickup line, or just a nice thing...but i wouldn't use it as a main form of communication in a relationship, for every little problem. For instance, if I wanted my dad to pass the turkey, i wouldn't write a song to him. I'd just ask him.

Aaah, see the metaphor now?

Good metaphor, Jason

I agree with everyone else. Just tell her. Communication and honesty are two VERY important elements in a relationship, especially the honesty part. And telling her is the only way she'll know how you feel.
Otherwise, if you REALLY think you can't do that, just do what you used to do. Call her up, email her, text her, IM her, do whatever to talk to her, and talk to her the way you used to.

Yeah, I have krap advice, but I still hope that helped!

be careful not to make it confrontational though, she could take it like an accusation that she's not giving you enough time, or that you're smothering her. make it more like "i wish i could talk to you more often during the day, i miss you" kinda thing?

"...The turkey is growing cold...as I am growing old...."

Be honest, let her know that you miss talking to her. Don't be pushy or anything (I'm not saying you would! ), just tell her that you wish you could talk more. I don't know what she's like, but personally, I would be flattered.

and my knife that i now hold...is wanting to cut turkey, i am told

I am picturing Jason's life a musical. Its quite amusing.

"You've been missed!" would be a good way to start.

I've always had this guy best friend around for a few years. But lately we've just been really busy with our lives. College and everything. Ocassionally he would drop by and say hi but it's pretty safe to say that things aren't exactly the same as it used to be, even though we both know how much we miss each other - or more importantly, how we both miss all the random conversations that we've had. I think being almost 4000 miles apart plays a part in this. The thing is though, our friendship is not strained at all - but it's just not the same anymore and I really do miss knowing that he'll be there for me. For example he would text saying that he missed me and I would reply saying the same thing but after a few replies or so, eventually it stops and the whole cycle repeats itself again a few weeks/months later. Sigh.

What I'm trying to say is, I suppose if you really do miss having her around, you should always try to keep up with her even though life's getting in the way.

Lol!you guys are terrible,now i'm going to be putting notes to that and singing it all day .

oh no now it's stuck in my head in the form of the 'down by the bay' song tune.

Ahh!you shouldn't have said that .

^ haha awesome mcawesome!

chorus:

Making this so very sublime,
i don't want any more lime
Making this so clear
I'm lettting you know my greatest fear
I'm starving to death
I'm afraid there will be no turkey left
So close, yet so far away,
Pass the turkey, father, and I'll never stray

hokayyy so....i have this problem......yeah i dont usually post "the other lounge" but whatever. so there is this girl that i have been "dating-but-not". pretty much we both like each other and we've hugged, kissed, held hands, etc. the only reason why we are not "officially" going out is cause she lives with her aunt and uncle....and they dont like dating....and her real parents live in korea...anyways now that you know the background... she recently got baptized on the 23rd. the day after i was talking to her and she was in like this odd mood.....she was mad at everything for no apparent reason....she thinks is may be like spiritual warfare or somthing..i dont know. i know its not like pms or anything cause...yeah its just not...lol then during all this she goes on about like how she feels guilty when she says "i love you" because she feels she doesnt deserve me or something...after she said that she needed some time to think....and that she would talk to me at school...............which doesnt start for a week... so my question is.....WHAT DO I DO??? i was thinking about asking her aunt for permission to come over there and see her....but i dont really know how well that would fly with her since she doesnt like dating....any help/suggestions/whatever is greatly appreciated!

^ Oh man, she's really confused. I had a long period of confusion that just recently ended because I made a solid decision. I'd been so excited about all the work I could do and all the people I could please that I went like the little engine that could through EVERYTHING (well, except school, but that's beside the point). I wanted to keep up with everything so badly, I was afraid that if something changed everyone would be angry at me and think I was a fake. But, you know, I made the decision to slow down and take steady steps and the people around me still love me all the same.

I think your girlfriend is going through the same thing, she's confused. She's between a rock and a hard place, her guardians and you. She probably doesn't know what to choose since she wants both. Give her time, she need to figure out some things from herself. I found that during that time, I was discouraged even by kind words from those friends, I was afraid I wouldn't hear them again. She'll figure something out, don't worry. It's really stressful for her right now.

For the record, you didn't do anything wrong. It's hard to know what to think or say when you get like that. I was only angry at myself.

You should consider a career in writing songs for daily conversations. They'd be best sellers, seeing how people are getting poorer at communicating with each other.

Yeah, I can hear this one on the radio...

sounds like something of a switchfoot podcast

Something what could sing Tim and Drew...
Jason, you can ask them if they'd be interested...

yh the 6th member of the band, the podcast one

Drinkies? No! I'm underage!

it can be made serious by referring father as FATHER ......
so good work in that sense

^huh

I don't understand either. Abhishek, please explain.

good

that father can refer to GOD as "FATHER"........ now

oh yeahh that came into my head a little when I reread that. God can create and pass the biggest turkey in the world.

Er okay.. weird to think of that. Why on earth would anyone want God to pass them a turkey. Haha.

oo,oo(raising hand)!!i know.Because it would be the biggest and best one on earth .

Today's Menu at the Pearly Gates Restaurant:
Holy Fowl (served with our famous "bright-as-a-halo" glaze"

!!!!!Wow.

I'd like a slice of holy cheese with mine. Preferably Swiss.

who WOULDN'T want god to pass them a turkey? haha!

^yeah

Guys, lets bring this thread back on the topic
And Jason, you should post your lovely song to the Poetry/words/lyrics thread...

so i wrote a song about passing the turkey. hope you enjoy. it uses a D, A, G progression for the verses, and a D, A, Em, G for the chorus. i am such a dork. try to sing the lines kinda fast to get the right feel. if you use the progression any slower, it will come off as too serious.

Turkey
Austin Sweet

(verse 1)
So i'm sitting at the foot,
a mile away from you,
and my stomach is far from full.

you are laughing with
my brothers of every color,
but i can see the turkey getting cold.

(chorus)
so pass that bird,
and a good sharp knife,

so i can eat my fill,
maybe even have some rice

and potatoes on the side,
i wouldn't be so snide...

if you would pass that lovely bird my way

(verse 2)
I am growing older,
my beard's starting to fill
and still the turkey sits at your side.

(bridge) (just go back and foth between D and Dsus)
you are laughing till you cry,
but still by and by
the turkey that can't fly
is growing colder by your side

(chorus)


i have a really bad feeling that if i ever make a Cd, this'll be on it.
