God, these people need to be sent to social etiquette camps or something! It's like they don't know how to relate to ordinary people so they just barge into other people's lives and try to manufacture a relationship out of nothing. And yeah, I have a real problem with conflict and confrontation, so being rude isn't really an option. I used another flister's suggestion of putting on my mp3 and listening to music so I could ignore him without seeming too rude. ^_^ It's working like a charm so far!
I have ridiculously low tolerance
Have you actually been drunk? I've had a few drinks forced on me once, and I felt a little- buzzed?- afterwards, but I've never actually been tipsy. I kinda want to run an experiment on myself someday, under controlled conditions, just to see what it's like.
But oh, I hear you on the control freak issue- I can't do anything that would make me unable to guard my tongue or control my body properly in public, I have a fear of public humiliation, so you can bet I ain't drinking.
And hee, the best part of going out with people is dressing up! Wait, no, no, it's looking all pretty and taking photos with them! ^_^ I'm a camera whore, I admit it, lol.
Like, I'm getting together with a friend this Friday, I think, and I'm already rummaging through my wardrobe, trying to figure out what to wear. But he's notoriously camera-shy, so no photos. *pouts*
