This guy who I think liked me, once told me that this song reminds...

[Maddy McCall]

him of me? What can that mean??!?

Well she's kind of like an artist
Sittin' on the floor
Never finishes, she abandons
Never shows a soul

And she's kind of like a movie
Everyone rushes to see
And no one understands it
Sittin' in their seats

She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be

Well she dances alone in nightclubs
Every other day of the week
People look right through her
Baby doll, check your cheek



And she's kind of like a poet
Who finds it hard to speak
Poems come so slowly
Like the colors down a sheet

She opens her mouth to speak and
What comes out's a mystery
Thought about, not understood
She's achin' to be

I've been achin' for a while now, friend
I've been achin' hard for years

Well she's kind of like an artist
Who uses paints no more
You never show me what you're doing
Never show a soul

Well, I saw one of your pictures
There was nothin' that I could see
If no one's on your canvas
Well, I'm achin' to be

She closes her mouth to speak and
Closes her eyes to see
Thought about an' only loved
She's achin' to be
Just like me

[sundog]

[southlandshari]

:grouphug:

[Maddy McCall]

7. Hi, m!

How's everything going? Send me word as soon as you find out.

Been thinking about you.

[merh]

8. To use an old phrase

"the jury is still out!"

I've just been waiting and waiting :freak: :freak:

Look at all the penguins I found while waiting

I'll let you know and thanks for sending out the good vibes!

:hug: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

6. Hi, shari!

I just got home. Have had a fun getaway. Now it's back to real life. :D

[southlandshari]

18. Glad you are back

We missed you around here!

:hug:

[jobycom]

9. Means he wanted to get you in bed, but couldn't figure you out.

It's what men always mean when they say weird songs remind them of a woman.

[southlandshari]

13. Hey now!

:spank:

[jobycom]

14. What, you don't think it's true?

I'm almost a guy, I know these things.

[southlandshari]

17. That's not it at all...

I just wanted to give you a spankin'!

:evilgrin:

[jobycom]

19. Oh!

:blush: :hide:

[southlandshari]

23. Whew!

That wore me out - I'm heading out for the night.

Good night, dear friends!

:hi:

[jobycom]

27. Spanking me once wore you out?

:cry:

[Maddy McCall]

15. I can promise you that that wasn't the problem.

:D

[jobycom]

20. Which part?

[Maddy McCall]

21. We dated for a loooong time.

That was my past life, though. :)

[jobycom]

22. Just because he succeeded doesn't mean he wasn't still trying!

[Maddy McCall]

24. I guess you are right.

Maybe he wasn't as worthless as I always thought. :shrug: :)

[jobycom]

26. I'm always right!

he could have been completely worthless, yet still known that flattering you by claiming you were mysterious and alluring would keep you wrapped around his little, um, finger. Most people who flatter you are trying to manipulate you into something. That's not always bad when you first meet, but if he's still trying to manipulate after a while, then it's bad.

'S'all I was sayin'

[Maddy McCall]

28. Oh, I was pretty aloof during the whole relationship.

When he pulled out a diamond ring and proposed, I laughed. In his face.

That was terrible, and we never recuperated from that. I always never thought of us going to that higher plane.

Now I'm wondering how he's doing. :(

[jobycom]

29. Ah, see, I don't know everything

Here I was thinking this was a "give me sympathy for putting up with a bum" thread, and instead it's a "I'm bummed and feeling guilty for not giving the guy a chance" thread.

If you laughed in his face, there was a problem from the beginning, so you did the right thing, though not necessarily in the right way. Though maybe it was the only way to make him understand. Listen to some Jimmy Buffet, you'll feel better.

11. I always used to put THIS song on mix tapes for girls I liked:

1, 2, 3, 4
Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at it's peak
You know what I mean
How do say you're o.k. to
An answering machine'
How do you say good night to
An answering machine'
Big town's got it's losers
Small town's got it's vices
A handful of friends
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine'
How do say good night to
An answering machine'
I get enough of that
Try to free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine'
How do you say good night to
An answering machine'
How do you say I'm lonely to
An answering machine'
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...2-1-23-1-32-1-23-1-32-1-23-1-3


"Answering Machine," The Replacements

[Swede]

12. It means your a woman of mystery

and only he understands you. And he wants to be more than friends.

[Maddy McCall]

16. Yeah, that's probably true.

We were more than friends for a long time. :)

[driver8]

25. I love that song...the Replacements!

Not sure how it pertains to you, though.

[Greyhound]

30. If he's over 20, he's just pathetic. n/t
