Friday, July 15. 2005(Toothless) Shark Attack
This includes being stared at and silently appraised for about a gazillion times a day. Having your every word listened to intently even though you are just talking on the phone or laughing with other colleagues. Being talked to only when your brother is not around. Having your naive brother being pumped for sensitive information about his sister when she's not around. The latter bit really irritated me. If you want to know anything about me, ask me directly lar. I don't bite.
Man, this is one weird kinda shark. I still don't quite know how to place him. A toothless shark? A nice guy underneath all that sleek sharky exterior? What? But it's getting to be a nuisance. And ridiculous. Everytime I lift up my eyes from the monitor, there I see him turning back to glance at me. Or placing himself strategically in my line of sight and standing in a thoughtful and intelligent look on his face while reading the newspaper. Aiyo. No wonder I have lost my appetite for breakfast these days. I wonder how long before he stops behaving in this manner, without any encouragement whatsoever from my side. How long does it take to starve a shark anyway?  Heh, and I'm not alone. Amanda has it bad, too. Her solution is to pretend like she didn't notice a thing. Same approach as me lor. Far from being flattering, it can be quite a creepy experience having someone who totally dis-interests you mooning over you.  And no, Josh, I'm not  secretly happy about this!

 As much as I hate to admit it, I was that kind of guy. In the sixth grade! You think, "Wow, she's so pretty. If I stare at her long enough, maybe she'll realize that I like her without me actually having to say anything, 'cause I'm no good at talking to girls anyway. I can't talk to her and take the risk of being rejected. Well, I guess I can talk to her, but I'll do it privately, something that we can share together in it's privacy. Maybe her brother can help me out, he knows her better than I do!" I know, sad and pathetic. It's tough to be a guy! Especially in the sixth grade. Wait, what's that? You say he isn't in the sixth grade? He's an adult? ahem Starvation is a long, long way to die. It sometimes requires: -learning to ignore the starer -an official, polite "I'm not interested" -Seeing you with someone else I so don't miss 6th grade... Anyway, have posted an update to this post on further thoughts about this. Add Comment
