if you're not talking, please shut up!

Pet Peeve #1 -- people who SUCK at communicating.

that can be a very broad statement, cuz it's applicable in so many different ways. but in this post, i'm specifically talking about the people who literally cannot hold a conversation. those convos that are just riddled with awkward pauses and "yeah lol." i hate anything contrived. if i have to go out of my way to THINK of things to say to you to keep the conversation from dying, i simply will not do it.

i recently thought i'd make more of an effort to be friendly and outgoing, but very quickly remembered why i don't bother. cuz PEOPLE SUCK.* so i've just gone back to being myself and only talking to people who are worth the time and energy.

gentlemen in the gallery, if you are interested in a girl and want to talk to her, my advice to you is to TALK. have conversations, get to know about different aspects of her, share with her some aspects of yourself or your life, make her feel comfortable and happy to be engaged in an interaction with you. starting conversations that go no further than "hey what's up? not much. oh... cool," is really not conducive to... anything. good nor bad.

FOR REAL, even if you're not really trying to get to know her and simply wanna get in her pants, say something to let that be known! be flirtatious, be suggestive, just straight up say, "yo, here's the deal: ur sexy & i'm pretty decent-looking [girls have been with me and NOT vomited so...], we should get naked together." just say something, for the love of god, SAY SOMETHING!

i'm tired of people pulling me into to conversations i then have to take full responsibility to manage. so if you start a convo with me and you find i'm not very talkative, chances are i've given up on your ass. when you communicate with me, i'll communicate with you. if you fail to do so, sorry. maybe you should find someone else.

[*for the record, i think that's my motto in life. people suck. it pretty much sums up my feelings about any situation i'm ever in, ever. note: may be varied to more specific groups of people eg. "girls suck" or "the guy who owns the jamaican restaurant by my house sucks"]

Also of note people dont kno how to end a conversation. If your having a good one and dont have anything else to say then END IT! Dont try to force it forward cause its been good so far jus end it and call it a day yeesh

  2. ooohhhh... good answer, good answer!!!! :) that's pet peeve #1a. why make conversations awkward and drawn out if you don't need to? why ruin the small amount of faith i may have built in you by refusing to just say "hey it's been good," and letting it go?
    people are so weeeiiiiirrrrrdddddd. next blog entry right there.
