Answering Machines = Hate
haha, I just called the lady about the horses again and had to leave a message. I always plan what I'm going to say beforehand but it never works out quite so simply. :p I sounded like a complete dolt cuz first I totally stumbled over my own name and then instead of saying "hope to be hearing from you soon" I said "hope to be getting back to you soon" since my brain apparently liked that better. And then I realized how completely idiotic that sounded and I just hung up. Even though she knows me, I should have said "I'm much better with horses than I am at leaving messages." ._.
I just don't like phones in general. I'll only call people if I have no other way of reaching them and the only time I don't stress over what to say is if it's someone I know really well. Like at work, if we're supposed to call someone when their pictures come in or whatever, I'll get someone else to do it. Even if all I have to do is tell someone their pictures arrived, I absolutely cannot. Calling an absolute stranger is out of the question.
I seriously have some kind of problem when I speak though, I swear. I often stumble over words or say the wrong word or mispronounce what I *do* mean to say. Sheesh. Oddly enough, I'm good at speaking in front of people. I've had to do presentations in several of my classes and I've always done well and usually gotten compliments from my professors! I guess it's a good thing that I'm comfortable in that type of formal situation because it seems like *that* is what most people struggle with.
And as I write this last paragraph, I just got off the phone with Sharon, who apparently got my retarded message. We're meeting up tomorrow at 4pm, so she can show me around her farm and she'll explain what she wants me to do and on what days of the week. So I guess my message didn't astound her too much! hehe

AWSOME! I hope that it goes well. Horse stuffs might make you happy :)

Yes, it is awEsome! ;) 2 of the 3 horses are Morgans (booooo) but I guess I'll have to deal. ;p
I think it's insane that Green Day is next Saturday. We should probably figure out how to get to the place, hehe.
Whoah, freaky. You just posted a comment on your own entry right in between the time I clicked on "1 comment" and when it loaded 2 comments. (I had to hit back and then refresh to see for myself that you did just write the comment.)
When I read your comment about "Hope to get back to you soon" on the answering machine, I thought how I do stuff like that all the time! I say exactly what I don't mean! "Nice to meet you" will become "Nice of you to meet me" and "I can't do that today" becomes "I can do that tomorrow" or something.
What's with the word verification crap? :P
Sweet... it is nxasy. In my mind that reads "nasty sex". I may have a job, live in a house, and be getting married in 5 weeks (yikes!), but I can still be immature sometimes.hehe
And..... what DID you and Travis do? Something involving a Wal-Mart??? ;0
Matt, haha, yeah that is freaky.
I turned on the word verification option to hopefully END the stupid "comment spammers" that have been rampant lately. That's what Blogger recommended doing, so we'll see if it works!
Nxasy, haha. . . I'd automatically think "nasty" but probably not the sex part. ;p
And I am so not telling what we did on Thursday! Even if I did, it might sound pretty unexciting unless I got into a lot of background info. This will probably not be the last time we do something of the sort; maybe you'll hear about it someday. ;0
