So, Now What?

I was ordered by a friend to put down my computer games and write something. So, after I got off work today I ate dinner while I played 1701 A.D. Then I quit playing and decided to write a new blog. Of course, then I was faced with the question of what to write about.

The subject of writing is out of the question, since I'm sure no one wants to hear anything more about my thesis, and I haven't written anything else in a long time. I thought about writing about my niece, who is now at home and doing very well. But all I have to write concerning that is that I get to babysit for her every Wednesday--I've come to love Wednesdays. Work is a hopeless writing subject. Just a bunch of old people who need to order the medications and want someone to talk to when they're lonely, which is a lot.

With the idea pool dwindling for this blog, I started thinking about certain people who decide to, out of the blue, to contact you for seemingly mundane reasons, say to find out when the reunion is going to be, and then make slightly suggestive remarks. I started thinking, "Hey, does this person know the remark he, or she if that's your slant, know his remarks are suggestive? Is he doing this on purpose? Is he really being cavalier about the remarks, or did he make these remarks with careful deliberation, hoping the hint will be taken? Is he trying to let me know (I mean not me, but whoever is getting these remarks spoken to them) that he misses. . .um. . .this particular someone?" AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!

So then I decided that I really didn't have anything to say in my blog.

What the heck does "suggestive" mean in this context? Does it mean what I think it means?

You're going to a reunion? High School, something else?

Okay, Ali. I wasn't going to get into details, but it seems I need to explain just a little further. Let me start by saying my voicemail recording says that I'm unavailable. When this person, we'll call him Doug, because, well, that's his name...when Doug left his message he said, "You're unavailable? That's too bad." Now the words may not seem too suggestive, but the the way they were said forced the literature-studying geek in me to begin to over-analyze.

Ah, I see.
