Handing out "I LOVE YOU" cards at my college

Post Reply New Topic

No, no, no, no! Please, no! You're killing me here. You seem like a great kid. You've got a winning personality and you're good looking and have a great smile. Please don't blow it at college by doing this!

You said something like, "I don't want the boring NT friends, but the ones who would think that what I am doing is cool." (I am paraphrasing.) Listen, I am twice your age, and some of my very best most amazing friends are ones whom I met first playing the NT game. Once you crack the shell, you sometimes find amazing people inside. Like my friend Lenny who used to be a cop and was on the Olympic skiing team 22 years ago, and is now a multimillionaire from the company he started, even though he has long dyed hair and looks like a young punk, except that he also has two kids and two rock bands. See what I mean? Lenny and I like to smoke cigars together. But we started by going through all the formalities.

I guarantee you that if I had handed him a note, hugged him and said "no homo," he'd have nothing to do with me.

Geez, are you keeping this thread going because you like the attention? Just be polite and nice and people will flock to you. It's not that hard. You're the one making it hard. And if you pull this stunt, you'll be spending a lot of nights on the weekend alone.

Wozeree! You have betrayed me! Are you not aware that I have a direct line to God Almighty who informs me of what to say?

Muwhahahah!

So .... ok, maybe I am exaggerating just a bit. On the other hand, I assure you that this world is full of people who are as crazy as Marshmallow (that was irony by the way, Marshmallow), and all they need is for Marshmallow to approach them and the next thing you know they call the cops. You can never be too careful.

I work in ministry and the crazy stories of how people have had their lives ruined by something as simple as saying to a coworker, "You look lovely today," will make you reconsider every impulse you might carry out, and every word you might say.

Sorry, you know I wasn't trying to betray you!

The thing is though, Asperger's is like THE FEAR DISEASE. How many of us have regretted all of our fears and trepidations? He's young, I think it's ok if he learns taking chances and falling on his face won't kill him, he can always get up and take another chance. That's what life is about.

I once sold my wheels and ran away to Colorado to see John Denver (he must have been my first SI, but I didn't know what they were at that time, I just knew I was obsessed). So I moved to Aspen with no home and no money and I survived that. I slept on some guys couch and in a store room (until I got caught, which is a whole other funny story).

This is not going to kill him.

Yeah, that's cool. Like on one side, your picture with your big smile sort of as a meme (you know, with rainbow spirals coming out of it).

On the other side, something really nice like, "Marshmallow (whatever your name is) wishes you a great day!" or "It's finals week - but remember - no employer cares about your grades. All they care about is that you look good. So look great, and enjoy the day!"

That would be.....weird....but sort of okay. I wouldn't put your contact info on it. The people who think it's cool will contact you! Heehee. That's kinda fun.

Does this mean we're buddies again?

Only if you become Catholic and enter a convent, and take the name Sr. Mary Joseph of the Most Holy Wounds of Our Saviour on the Mount of Olives Wozeree.

Seriously, I think you would like the convent. It sure beats being a legal secretary. Plus they feed you.

I certainly like the name and I have been at my current job for long enough. Hmmmm.

What exactly do nuns do, anyway? The only ones I knew were teachers - they are the reasons I still have fond memories of the Church. Well, the priests too.

Some teach. Some remain in the convent and only work and pray. Others live in apartments and do whatever, you know, social work and all that Democratic Party stuff. The nice part is praying in common and the routine. If you like teaching, it's ideal. I mean, I'm not trying to twist your arm. But I do love being a priest as you know. And I know sisters who love teaching and living their lives in union with God in that way. A good religious sister can do more than any priest to change the world. There are lots of snotty-nose kids who get to heaven because of one awesome sister,

One slight problem though - if I'm going to marry Jesus, don't I have to be Catholic or at least Christian? I mean, I love the whole mythology, but I'm not a believer. Complicates things a little. Haha Sr. Carmen would freak out I called her up and said, Remember me, I'm a nun now! I drove her nuts! She was a great teacher though.
