I think I'm turning a corner?

The sheer gall of the whole thing.

 

I haven't had time to read through everything here lately.. the thread is growing exponentially.

I feel like I am arriving late to a pajama party, not a water cooler

 

Well here's the short version. We have gone through several subjects including Rjays dating life. Then we went on about street hockey, tattoos, bars, spelling and grammar and pick up lines. Although I'm sure there must be a topic that we haven't covered yet. Who knows? They day is still young. I wonder what the next line will be?

 

Pyjama party yesss what a great idea.

 

I'm from Essex and people do actually talk like that!!! I wish I was kidding Ha ha...

 

I said i wasn't kidding

Haha yes, I've seen the only way is Essex a couple of times haha. This was making me cry with laughter

 

This just keeps getting better.

 

I should just resign myself to the fact that I am getting nothing productive done at work today.

 

I didn't either.

 

Work shmerk.

 

Let's just work on English time, it's not work time anymore over here.

 

This is seriously amazing. Thanks for the first genuine smile I've had in days! I'm just laying in bed laughing. Gah I wish I could meet this sassy, grammatically-correct group of lesbians

 

Wouldn't that be interesting!

 

Counts me out on both fronts haha I am neither. I'm just making up the numbers.

 

They should put that on dating profiles.

Rate you grammar persnicketiness.
(1) Persnick... Wha'?
(2) Theirs no point.
(3) I can spell. What more do you want?
(4) Top 3 percentile. Does that tell you what you need to know?
(5) Would you like citations with that?

 

You know - I've been waiting about a month for the right occasion to share this Hayley Kiyoko song called Sleepover about crushing on a friend. I'm gonna just leave the link here:

RJay - you've got tomorrow totally under control. Think of how brave you were with L. When you're ready, drop that great "I think I'm ready to date but I usually fall for straight girls" bit and see how it goes

 

I don't get it. Why are they bathing in Milk of Magnesia?

Don't worry, RJay. As soon as you see her, you'll be back to your old self. :}
