in relation to worst date

[sahnja]

Hi everybody! My name is angie, aka sahnja (which has absolutely no meaning).

I've been on here for a week or so and love the site. I found my way here because I love Mr. P and have sent him and Jennifer my words of adoration. But I wanted to clue everyone in to "my little problem." It's pretty common but I have it bad. It's called

Foot in Mouth Disease

Here's a shining example:
I used to work with this really nice guy who was pretty cute too. We were buddies, would have lunch and talk trash, nothing relationship oriented - just pals. But there was always something about him that seemed a little odd. Just something in his look that I couldn't put my finger on.

Another friend/workmate finally told me my pal wears a wig! He had this condition where he had lost all of his hair over the course of his adolescence. I mean, all of it! No eyebrows, no arm hair, no leg hair - nothing! Since he's never said anything and wears a wig he must be a little sensitive so I keep my mouth shut.

Then one day, we were driving back from lunch arguing over the rumor of a superman movie. I was saying no way could nick cage play superman, he asks why not, I start stammering about how "he can't be superman because he's balding! And I can't shut up about it. I was trying to say "nick's great and stuff but superman has to have a full head of hair." He just guffawed. It was awful.

A few days later, I'm bending over him looking at something on a computer and i notice he has one of those odd hairs that hangs lower than the others - one that's not attached. So instinctively I reach in to pull it - then stop midway because I remember it's not his hair!

He sees my hand frozen midair reaching for his hair and jerks back saying, "Hey, what the hell you doing?"

I said "pulling a loose hair. Want me to leave it?"

"Yea, leave me alone," he says laughing.

I'm an idiot.

sahnja,
Yep-you got it-foot in mouth disease-LOLOL
I've done things like that before-saying inappropriate things is just part of this wonderful mystery called life!
We cringe while it's spilling out of our clumbsy ass mouths-but out it spills nevertheless!
I so understand that errant hair hanging-yewwwwwwww!

sahnja,

He needs to learn that bald is a beautiful thing!

Women love a bald man...

JTF,

well, well - aren't you a lucky sonuvabitch? How much did you pay those girls?

Actually, he eventually quit wearing the wig when he was transferred to an office further away. And he looked so much better without. I saw him a few times after and told him so. He was a good guy and ended up helping me and a friend out by letting us live in his apartment since he pretty much stayed with his girl. He didn't want to get rid of his place - just in case. So we split the rent and took care of his place! Worked out for everyone.

sahnja,

Didn't pay a cent! It's amazing what a trip to Jamaica and a LOT of Appleton rum can do!

I grew up with a guy who had the problem of growing no hair. Nice guy, nobody cared that he was bald except him. One year (I think about 4th grade) he came to school wearing a wig. He got teased relentlessly until he gave it up. We're not really close friends or anything, but he's one of only a couple of people I remember from that school who was a decent enough human being that if I run into him I'll stop and rap a while.

JTF,

Did he have the whole deal. No eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. I remember him bitching about dry skin so it has to be a total pain in the ass sometimes.

But you seem to have plenty of hair elsewhere!

[Jennifer]

JTF,
Is that your handsome face JTF?

[JTF]

Jennifer,

Yup. It's a few years old, but generally I still look the same... (It's one of the few pics of me that I'm actually smilin'... I wonder why...)

Handsome, huh? Richard, your woman has good taste! (But tell her to get her eyes checked!)
