Another day, and I'm left blank.

As you know, dear reader, I've decided to change up my mentality. Not out of spite, also, not to 'stoop' to other peoples level. The people I mention who have these attitudes I hold in fairly high respect. I believe the main difference between myself and them is not priorities, but boundaries. When to say no. And so, today I decided to attempt reparations between myself and tow girls who wound up being hurt by a third party. All three of those had hurt to address, but none were or are in a good state of mind to do so. I poked my head in for a moment to offer some help, and promptly got it blown off. So, of course, I attempted to sort things out. Not even so much make things better, I do not believe that to be possible, but simply to clear the air of latent animosity. Turns out I'm still no good at talking to girls. Also turns out that they suck at listening to me. One of the girls is a bit more reasonable, but still would like to see me on a warm beach, because that way I'd be a long distance from her. She let me know that once she's exhausted all options, she'll perhaps see about bringing in a third party, which she won't. That's ok. She hear what I said, I did the same, except for one point, but she dropped that fairly quickly, wise of her. However, Girl B is in a very "Girl power" rebel against the system, denounce authority, bite the hand that feeds you kind of rebellion going on. I, smart as I am, attempted rational apology and explanation, with a bit of 'attitude' just to make her feel comfortable. The only real good thing that came of this conversation is my lack of want to become a demolitions expert, this was close enough. She even, at one point, asked me what I don't understand. This is confusing, because I told her "Look, I don't want info, just pass a message along" she replied with "What don't you understand, I'm not going to tell you anything." What the hell? Evidently when I say "I don't want to hear stuff" she reads "Tell me everything!!!!!" and I'm wondering how that happens? Is her Babel Fish drunk? I truly think she's reading her emotions into my words, without reading the words. This makes an apology very difficult. And rational explanation nigh impossible. So, the end result: the (somewhat) rational girl wants nothing to do with me, the emotional one wants me to screw off. Looks like my chances of a wedding band sometime this life are slim. Stunning thing is, this can't be that bad, as I still have no rantopics for you. This weekend will hold some, so that should be fun. But, hey, I can't leave you readers without something to talk to me about, so how about this: before this situation came up, I'd bought "Rational Girl" one gift - a blooming tea thing, and I still have to get her a clear teapot (so you can watch it bloom) I've also restored a watch* that is almost made for her. I got the dead watch for free, fixed it up, it's good to go. Now, I enjoy her company, but we are friends. And this issue has put some tension between everyone involved. What should I do with the gifts? Would giving her all three seem overbearing, even tho it all cost me pretty much nothing? Just the tea stuff? Just the watch? Come on readers, reply, and be blessed with more and better posts!
