Number five is making me feel anxious, for I would love to go to be invited to one of your Soiree's but choice C would keep me from attending. Poo.# posted by

LC: I hope you aren't the kind of person who's constantly saying things like, "Ooh, he's hot!" or "Man, I'd like to sleep with her!" right there in front of everyone. If you do, please stop, because that's unpleasant behavior. Those are the kinds of things you tell your closest friends only, in my opinion. And only if they've indicated that they're interested in it.
However, I have the feeling you meant something else. You don't strike me as that kind of rude person.

I feel an urge to discuss the relationshp between 3B and 5C. But not an "uncontrollable" urge.

Basically,
3b = Friendship Power
5c = ogling your Flickr site right now and scheming a way to meet you
Actually, no, you're right. I'm being a hypocrite. Let's change 5c to say "uncontrollable urge to make your desire known to people who'd rather not know."

Or - no, no! It says: "Unrealistic image of yourself, paired with a complete lack of introspection."
(Everyone else, please ignore our inside joking.)

Pfft!
Considering how I shy away if I ever like someone, I don't think I would ever mention anything like that in public, but, you're right, only to my closest friends.
Can I come and play now?
I still owe you an entry. I think and think and think and alas. Still no post.

LC: If I ever have a party and you're around, sure you're invited.
Also, you shouldn't fret about your entries. That's *your* blog, so you should make it work for you. Write what/when you feel like it. You don't owe anybody anything.

All I got from that was you must have made out with a girl in front of your friends and then didn't get invited to someone's else's party because of the incident. I hope the video is on YouTube.
