    And I also completely agree with the text messaging entry as well. It really sucks. I also hate any kind of chat, whether it be g-chat, facebook, whatever. I'm extremely sarcastic and the way I word things usually can be misconstrued so more often than not people take what I say the wrong way and it's a shitshow.

    Agreed. I mean, I use these things because it's easy, but I hate it. I miss the days where you had one phone number and one e-mail, and you either had email or a message on your machine, or you didn't. Either someone contacts you or they don't. I miss the days where you didn't have to check 4854 different things, driving yourself crazy, hoping someone doesn't take what you say the wrong way.

    John is currently not talking to me because of something that was lost in translation via text last Friday, and it's getting annoying. Not because he's mad, but because he thinks I think he's an asshole.

    I'd say more of a dumbass can you explain what's even going on with that situation right now? I feel very confused if you still want it to work or not. He's certainly doing you no favors in that regard.

    Haha, no worries. I'm just waiting to get back to school. Absolutely bored out of my mind at home these past two weeks with all my friends gone and obviously nothing is going to happen if I'm not going out. I think I want to ask out this one girl at school, but I'm bound to chicken out.

    I do hope to continue my progress from last semester of dropping 20 lbs to get rid of the last 10-15.

    The fact that "Pills" were pointed out is what I laughed at the most.

    I will say, that I read your other post and I agreed with how that "Ben" read your text. Came off as you were angry.

    Pretty much very similar to the sitch with me and Ben.

    His sister comes into town, and brings three friends with her, unexpected. They do drinking at his house, and he suddenly has four 23 year old drunk girls at his place. Meanwhilst, I'm waiting out at the bar for them to show, since he made such a huge deal out of us meeting. He texts me every 20 minutes or so with "We are coming, I promise! Trying to get them out of the house, this is tough"...stuff like that.

    Finally, at midnight, I texted him with "Hey, I'm going home. Don't worry about it. I have an 8 am flight, have fun with your sister". He texts me a bunch of times about how sorry he is, and how drunk they are, etc.

    So I just text back, "It's okay, that's tough to control. In the future, you could have texted me at 9:00 when they showed up wasted and just told me that it was going to be impossible for them to be out. Then I wouldn't have had to wait for two hours for nothing. I want to meet your sis, but it could happen another time. No big deal. Have fun this weekend, I'll see you Tuesday."

    Well, he took that as me saying he's a massive prick who should have been psychic enough to know that 23 year olds are tough to control. No, dude, I was just saying that in the future, you can be honest and not feel like you have to "keep me happy" by telling me you will make it out.

    So Monday I wasn't here, and he was asking everyone where I was. Same thing yesterday. I bump into him in the hall, finally, and say "Hey, how was the weekend? Everything go okay with your sis?" and he just blurted out, "I didn't blow you off! Stop torturing me with the silence! I'm sorry!"

    uhhhh.....okay.

    Haven't seen/talked to him since.

    I will agree with this, and I don't know how to stop it. I'm not angry when I say that stuff, but I can totally see how he'd get put off by it. I'm just saying what I think...and it's why I hate texting. IRL, I was just shrugging it off, typing as I got in my car. No biggie.

    Katie, that comes off as very pissed.

    Edit: And seeing your reply before, I'd just say for those kind of things when you are really trying to say "No big deal" but with "Next time..." that you should save that as a face to face thing so they can get the tone.

    I know that NOW. I know it comes off totally bitchy and super cunty, so I understand why he would think I was pissed off at him. I mean, I was semi-annoyed that he made a huge deal out of me meeting his sister and it didn't happen, but I knew that wasn't his fault.

    And I totally meant it in the "these things will happen again, so when they do, it's no big deal if you have to cancel". Men are so used to women flipping out on them, that I was trying to make sure he knew that I wouldn't if he had to cancel plans for that reason. I ended up coming across as a total bitch face.

    Edit: Agreed on your edit. I'll see him at the gym tonight. part of me wants to just text (UGH) him and see if he's okay or just ask about the situation. I have no clue if he's pissed at me or if he thinks that I'm pissed at him. This is awful.

Meanwhilst, I'm waiting out at the bar for them to show, since he made such a huge deal out of us meeting. He texts me every 20 minutes or so with "We are coming, I promise! Trying to get them out of the house, this is tough"...stuff like that.

    Finally, at midnight, I texted him with "Hey, I'm going home. Don't worry about it. I have an 8 am flight, have fun with your sister". He texts me a bunch of times about how sorry he is, and how drunk they are, etc.

    So I just text back, "It's okay, that's tough to control. In the future, you could have texted me at 9:00 when they showed up wasted and just told me that it was going to be impossible for them to be out. Then I wouldn't have had to wait for two hours for nothing. I want to meet your sis, but it could happen another time. No big deal. Have fun this weekend, I'll see you Tuesday."

    Well, he took that as me saying he's a massive prick who should have been psychic enough to know that 23 year olds are tough to control. No, dude, I was just saying that in the future, you can be honest and not feel like you have to "keep me happy" by telling me you will make it out.

    So Monday I wasn't here, and he was asking everyone where I was. Same thing yesterday. I bump into him in the hall, finally, and say "Hey, how was the weekend? Everything go okay with your sis?" and he just blurted out, "I didn't blow you off! Stop torturing me with the silence! I'm sorry!"

    uhhhh.....okay.

    Haven't seen/talked to him since.
    Two things.

    First off, I can kind of see how he could take that text the way he did, but only if (and I fucking HATE that I'm saying this) the "vibe" of the text seemed different from how you normally text, if you get what I mean. For example, i can definitely tell when my girlfriend is pissed off based on how she texts in certain situations, but I digress.

    However, there is no way he should have taken it that badly. It almost seems childish how he is reacting.

    Bottom line: I sucked in the exchange and should have done what Tony said, which was to just say "No big deal, I'm going to head home...have a great weekend " or something and left it at that. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I have to open my big, stupid mouth, be completely honest with how I feel about something, thus causing me to look like an asshole.

    It's okay. You can't help it. I would have been pissed off too.

    I do hope to continue my progress from last semester of dropping 20 lbs to get rid of the last 10-15.

    Other than that, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIIuR...eature=related



    The fact that "Pills" were pointed out is what I laughed at the most.

    I will say, that I read your other post and I agreed with how that "Ben" read your text. Came off as you were angry.
    Tony, what have you been doing to drop 20 LBs? I recently decided that I want to do that myself, so any tips you have would be appreciated.

    Mind if I pm you when I get home tonight? I work for a wellness company and have a bunch of info that may be helpful.

    Go right ahead, the more advice the better. I'm currently working out 4x a week and focusing on eating better (also trying to keep calories down). I'm no longer drinking during the week, but not really limiting myself in that department on the weekends (just not realistic for me right now).

    For me, its just been kind of the simple diet and exercise plan. I eat a lot better than I did before. More greens and fruit. No soda. No unnecessary beer while I'm only watching tv or not going out. Drink tons of water. I'm mindful of calories but I don't say I count them, but more so how fatty the foods are. Hardly ever eat chips or snacks and I actually enjoy celery as a substitute. Eat mostly fish and chicken, and instead of sandwiches I now love wraps. I try to limit myself to one cheat day a week. I cheat a little more than I did when I first started out, but it hasn't been a huge problem. With all this, I'd estimate that I rarely eat over 1,800 calories/day, and I know that is supposedly super low, but I rarely ever feel like I'm starving (though I have recently learned that a big reason for why I'm having trouble breaking the 185 lb barrier is doing this has led my metabolism to basically halt, so I'm going to work on including more small healthy snack during the day and even more fish).

    As for exercise, I decided to start slow by jumping on the elliptical so that I could build up endurance and make sure I complete 45 minute cardio workouts without quitting, which I was worried would happen if I jumped on the treadmill right away. I use the "Weight Loss" Programs which adjust the resistance to keep your body from getting into a routine. I lost about 17 lbs doing this. For the last 3 lbs and the last month or so, I decided to try a go at the treadmill and I've been building up ever since. However, I do find it frustrating at times because I am far from a natural runner I'm hoping to continue to build up to 5 miles by spring, but even though I sweat more on the treadmill it has not led me to losing weight as easily as before, so I'm going to start a mix of that and elliptical during the week. I tried to maintain my muscle by lifting weights some of the time, but not really pushing it. Over break and going into next semester I've started to lift more so I can get back to my football playing days of shape and muscle (Also because lifting weights is a MUST in losing weight. The more muscle means the more calories being burned naturally). I'm focusing on workouts that really help the core, because my waist is where my fat still has been slow to burn off.

    With this, there were a number of times where I simply couldn't exercise because of all the work for school and interviewing I had, but I continued to steadily lose weight, which points to my diet being the biggest factor for me. I'd say that over break I've maintained the same weight with less strict dieting and exercise, which is good because it tells me that I can maintain a weight I like without having to continue to work so hard to get it down (and meaning I can actually eat desserts and binge drink with friends and it will be ok ). Just need about 10 more lbs of fat gone (from around the waist) and I can see myself finally feeling happy about it, despite the fact that I just don't see much of a difference.

    Obviously, what I did won't work for everyone, but personally it is something I am capable of and has gotten me results in the numbers at the very least. Sorry for how long that turned out.

    No worries, good to hear, as that is similar to what I'm doing. I was interested since we probably have similar lifestyles (I know I'm not in college anymore but I like to pretend), so the drinking would be an easy thing to get rid of, but not all that practical.
