(but i completely agree about the OL slippers!)☆sarita☆https://www.blogger.com/profile/08128079665619582086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129942056638738431.post-88940569957827506752009-08-15T19:00:05.462+09:002009-08-15T19:00:05.462+09:00"at which point people I don't even know ..."at which point people I don't even know will start coming out of the woodwork claiming how much they'll miss my white ass around here."<br />Yep, u nailed it.

I don't buy and never have, there comes a time when you have to be an adult and stop shitting around with excuses about being shy due to language skills.<br /><br />kathrynoh - That's horrible and may be the case with me as well. Being a foreigner I will never be viewed as someone in for the long haul so they figure it's a waste of time putting effort into a relationship with me.<br /><br />Beth - Thanks for commenting. I'm not reliquishing my conspiracy theory just yet. I'd say the most dangerous group is the one of socially inept jerks, it's a killer combo.Green-Eyed Geishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947626500845582990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129942056638738431.post-39570775390118058512009-08-12T16:56:16.780+09:002009-08-12T16:56:16.780+09:00"According to her, a lot of people simply don..."According to her, a lot of people simply don't have enough confidence in their English to befriend me so who knows, maybe my neurotic conspiracy theories are moot..."<br /><br />I doubt it. I bet they're just jerks. I've learned in Tokyo that there are a lot of jerks in the professional world. I've never worked for a Kaisha but I'm sure I'm right. It's probably like, 78% of them are jerks, and 20% of them are shy/socially inept. But sooner or later you'll find the other 2%! <br /><br />I love your blog, by the way. I relate to it so much.

In my case, it's more like 'you're not going to be here long enough for us to bother' ... or maybe they just hate me!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699328937978331608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5129942056638738431.post-9264269503343302032009-08-12T14:54:37.321+09:002009-08-12T14:54:37.321+09:00Ariel had it pretty damn good life in the sea if y...Ariel had it pretty damn good life in the sea if you ask me! Probably doesn't make you feel any better though... sorry...<br />Glad you got to meet a nice secretary (finally!). I don't buy the 'no-English confidence' excuse from the othersthough, that's BS!
