Hey Seeeaaaannnn!  HEEEYYYYY.   Over here....no, no, over heeeerrrreeeee, to
the right.....a little more....a lit-tle more...Right there.....I'm the one
with the mask and cape, jumping up and down and waving my hands in the air
like an idiot, giving my position away.

I don't think we know each other...Allow me to introduce myself...I'm the
Shadowette and, as a matter of fact, underneath my disguise, I'm a southern lady.
I'm a master (master-ess?????) at lurking in and out of the shadows.  

Would you care to follow me?  *grin* 

BTW, I'm an expert at throwing banana splits.......

Hey, rip and I agree for once!  Scaaaarrryyyyyyy!  But it's quite true,
most of the things that men do to women are, to a lesser extent, done by
women back to men, so I shall ride astride a steed which is blind to

I'm doing the same thing.  I assume my RFA application is making its World
Tour '92 as I type this, and that I'll be a member RSN.  Now, the only thing
that I'm wondering about is what title I'll choose.  It'll either be "Official
Pronker" or "Official Pronkster" of the RFA.  Just what *do* you call someone
who pronks, anyways?  Oh, if you're wondering about the word "pronk", it's in
the Complete OED.  I haven't found it in any other dictionaries.  In other
words, "that is left as an exercise for the reader" :-).

I hope this is from empirical evidence and not assumption.  I have many
a time assumed that an attractive woman *must* have lots of men approaching
her etc.. and I was *WRONG*.  It can lead to insecurity on the woman's behalf
(sheesh.. talk about a screwed world).  Anyways....

Have you asked her why?  Maybe they are all jerks... maybe they aren't her
type.. (she likes marching band types??)  Perhaps it *is* a hint that she'd
like to be more with you.  ( I always discount this one.. probably shouldn't
..)

It would be undignified and inappropriate for a Knight Defender of the
Grail of Feminine Dignity to go around defending the womenfolk when they
didn't need it (I can leave that to Dan Quayle ...).  My task is simply
to wait, through rain and shine, hoping my joints don't seize up (if I
only had a brain ...), listening for the call of someone who, while
doing the best job she can of defending herself, isn't quite up yet to
coping with the millions of years of experience that men have behind
them.  However, perhaps it will appease you if I instead refrain from
taking up this duty as my daytime job.

Well, it sounds like she has alot of growing up to do.  You are
both so young and there are going to be times when it's difficult
to tell someone how you feel because you don't want to hurt that
person...just take a deep breath and think of it this way...there
is a reason behind everything...if you and cindy hadn't ended that
relationship you had then you wouldn't have met Laura...Now that
Laura is gone, there will be someone else.  It's going to be 
difficult, but give it time...take it from someone who knows...
it can and will get better.  Take this time and do what is right
for you...spend time with your friends.  You are only learning
from all of this...everything will work out fine for you in the
future...I'm still young, feel ancient, but I've learned alot
from relationships that have failed, but I'm only a better person
for it...you take what you learn into the next relationship only
to make that one better.

Let me know how things go for you!
