The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, by Mark Haddon. It's a murder mystery, sortof, told from the perspective of an autistic teenager.

It's actually very good. It's not a total chick flick -- all the guys I saw it with liked it, too!

Bad grammar is a huge pet peeve of mine. I can't help it!

Have you seen 27 Dresses?

Pretty much

I agree with you!!

Maybe this is part of the reason I'm still single, but I don't understand why people have to have rules about how long they wait before they call someone, or they refuse to call someone after a date -- all because of pride? Is it a *bad* thing to be interested and want to talk to someone after you've gone out with them? Shouldn't the beginning of a relationship be one of those times that you are the least prideful? I'm not saying that you lay your heart on the line and confess undying love to someone after you've gone out with them once or twice, but what is the harm in being equal with the person you've gone out with, and calling them? It's a phone call, for chrissake!

I'd originally wanted a PhD in psychology, but if I can find a masters degree that will let me be a therapist, that's good. The problem with some of them is that not all insurance will cover seeing an LPC, for example...which sucks.

Yes, it is expensive :( Thanks!! I will figure something out.

Aah, well congratulations!
If I ever get my ass in gear. I'm a social worker now, and will have to go back to grad school for quite a while before I can be licensed to practice..

So you're an elementary school teacher?

psychology, you?

College grad here

Why shouldn't you call a guy back?

If you've already called them once, and they didn't call back, then let them go and keep looking. If there's been no attempt at contact, I think it's probably okay for you to try calling them. But just once, and if they don't answer, or don't call you back, then forget them -- they must not have appreciated you!

Well, it's possible that there are qualities you have that are turn-ons for him, and others that are turn-offs (it's unlikely that anybody ever perfectly meets another's turn-ons). So you probably do have some qualities that he thinks are turn-offs, but he likes/loves you because your turn-ons outweigh the turn-offs. It's also possible that maybe you're being unrealistic in the way you see yourself? And maybe you're being too hard on yourself!

I will try it if I ever see it

Sometimes I am!

I've never heard of that!

I do not have a siamese twin!
