Talk Healthy

... I have seen the ugly side of Facebook.

A horndog guy who flirts with me found my profile.

Hey that's more action they've gotten in three months

And me!

He keeps calling me a "delicate flower" whenever I see him.

a) Has he met me?

b) That's your pick-up line, buddy?

did I ask this question before, if facebook is like myspace and if it will eclipse it?

Sorry you've got creepy dudes stalking you, you delicate flower...

They both have their pros and cons, for example, facebook is boring and white, and I can't see profiles if I haven't already "friended" them, but it seems to be more popular. I'll be your facebook friend! Blush is mine, and I think Natalie is on there too.

Excuse me, I now have to go put on my petticoats and be seen but not heard... or whatever delicate flowers do.

they wither in the heat
they furl up if they don't get enough water
they protect themselves from the sun

They don't talk to strangers

(this sounds like either a fourth grader's poem, or a game of 25,000 pyramid)

Ew! Is this creepy? Tell me this is creepy!

I mentioned that the next industry party (where we'll both be) also happened to be on my birthday. He said:

"Birthday?

Uh oh.

Flower, prepare to wilt.

Daddy's bringing the heat."

Get off my Facebook!

creeparific. absocrap. willycausing.

icky.

I'm trying to figure out if he's AWARE of certain other meanings to the word "flower" and why he thinks he has any control over its wilting...

EW!!! Are these party tickets refundable? I'd rather spend my b'day in my room.

Ewww! Is he for real?! "Daddy's bringing the heat"????? Where did he get a line like THAT? Egad.

EW! ! !

my field has certain prototypical freakshows. Is this one of your industry's prototypical freakshows? Or is this guy extra-specially nutso?

Wow. That's Bad. I didn't think guys were allowed to be that cheezy in 2007

Eeew! Cheesy and slimy. Slimy cheese!

But the real question is.....is he cute?


Aw, come here my lovely delicate flower....

EW EW EW. I'd remove him as a friend. Or at least delete all his wall messages. Is he sending you private messages too? Ew.

ETA: I just read your wall. He is slimy. And clearly he does not get that friends can have inside jokes (or ones that they share with TH friends).

ETA more: He's not cute, Marie. He looks goofy. There are a couple of cuties on there though. Who are THEY, Crystal?

You make me want to rejoin Facebook with all your intrigue!

Crystal, never volunteer to creepy guys that it is your birthday. In high school, there was this creepy guy who had a crush on me, he was like 22 when the rest of us were 16. He even had a beard with grey hairs in it!! Anyways he pushed his way into our Secret Santa thing, and he got my name, and he gave me a LIVE RABBIT for Christmas! He wanted to come to my house to deliver it but I said no, so he brought it to school and then I had to carry a live rabbit around to all my classes that day.

OMG Spudd, did you keep the rabbit?

Yes, we bought a used hutch and kept him in the garage. And then in summer he lived in the back yard in his hutch, with my guinea pig. Until he raped my guinea pig and she died. Her name was Coco and his name was Marshmallow, so there was Marshmallow in the Coco. Heh. I had an exciting childhood, let me tell you.

Anyways, this isn't my thread.

Holy, topic explosion!

Blush. The cute guys on my Facebook are, if I remember, in a relationship, 17, or in Miami.

kayley, there is definitely a disproportionately high percentage of oily people in this industry.

Spudd:

Until he raped my guinea pig and she died.

WTF?? Also, Facebook lists your birthday so he probably knew anyway.

I think I mentioned this before, that I know he likes me, and I don't like him. But he's well-connected and works a lot so I do see him at places, and everybody knows everybody and talks so I don't want to be mean to him but I don't want to encourage him and

Meh.
