Nervous?

If you are ever nervous about asking someone out, do not decide to try to use your university's internet database of communication to do so. Most university's have unbelievable issues with these said modes of communication that combines grade, tuition, enrollment, course information, class documents, and quick reference email lists. So, I was at a do or die situation where I needed to email this person if I stood a chance.

So I go through the system, and go to my class list. Select the persons name, and click send. This system has teh capability for mass emailing topics to your course. The way the system works is often you select the names you do not wish the email to go to, and it bulk emails everyone else. And the lists look very similar to selectingthe individual to receive the email. I came hom elater that night to open up my email account associated with the university, to find the message I had sent to the person in my inbox. Why would I get it if I sent it to him?

I had sent the email to the entire Pop Literature course. Now, I have a sense of humour I do. And I laughed at myself for a solid 4 hours after bulk emailing everyone.



Later that day, I decide to do a monthly fill the mother in phone call home. Home ends upbeing an answering machine so I call her cell, which serves also as a work phone. I tell her about what I have been up to, and decide to tell her about me mass emailing everyone. In the background I hear someone laughing, my sister who happens to also work with my mother at a realestate firm. And then I realized. I was on speaker phone. I sheepishly end the conversation, she of course wishes me a good day and a I love you. Mine came out a bit sarcastic that day, but for good cause, she could have stopped me.

The story continues. I decide to do an experiment on this email thing and try the same process with a friend. Turns out, it was not mass emailed. Praise the deity of your choosing! So I end up talkign to this lovely fellow later in the week through facebook or something as silly and he starts going on about a crush he has on a person, and so, Joe takes in a breath and moves on. How does joe do this? (Why am I talking in 3rd person?) I decide to rant relationship problems regarding my ex to him and go through a whole emotional arc just for the fun of it, and scared the poor guy away. Roughly around the same time I fille din another person of interest in my extreme means of creation process and equally scared him off. Am I too intense, mayhaps, but hey in the end, whomever I end up with has to be ready for it. so may as well start early!
