Apparently witty repartee is considered flirting when done with the opposite sex. :/

Gods, I feel kinda shitty now. It's not that I don't enjoy this particular girl's company, her beliefs are just too far removed from my own to ever make us work as more than friends.

Hey, I just found out that we're having a general election soon here in Singapore! I sure hope I can live with whoever we elect in my GRC this time.

I'm no expert, (REALLLY not an expert) but the best thing for it would probably be to just tell her the truth and apologize but assure her you still want to be friends. Whatever happens happens and I hope it works out well for you, good luck.

I recognise the truth of this from a rational stand-point, but how do I do this without sounding like a douche, and completely crushing her heart?

Well, like I said, I'm no expert, but my suggestion (and feel free to take it with a grain of salt) would be to adopt a conciliatory tone and to apologize if anything you had done gave the wrong impression, assure her that you think that she is a lovely person but that she just isn't your type. Thats my two cents, anyway, but then again I dont know what the heck I'm talking about.

Well, I suppose if she's anything like me, and the tables were turned, I'd probably end up slightly hurt no matter how nicely she puts it. But mostly I'll feel embarrassed for being so dense. And after a short while of being hurt and awkward around her, I'll just accept it and move swiftly on, and may or may not still want to be friends.

So I guess I should just steel myself and get it over with, in as nice and firm way as possible.

Either way, good luck. I hope it works out for you.

I'm sure that as long as you're careful in the future things will be fine with her.

No really though, I hope things work out.

"Two people like this post"

*Clicks to check to see who*

"Point Breeze"

Well, apparently Point Breeze is worth two people now.

I noticed that when I clicked it, it showed "2" next to the little thumbs-up.  So I refreshed the page, and saw, "2 people like this post."  Click . . . just me. 

I don't know what I did wrong ;_;

Hey now, it's not a bad thing, it means you're worth two people.  That's a good thing. 

Only to Aaron, apparently.

So I sat down and did some budgeting today since my paycheck came in, and I'm very pleased to have my weekend job.

WIthout it, this annoying Care Credit bill would take a while to pay off, because I'd never get the ridiculous past due amount paid off, and they jack up the minimum payment to make it damn near impossible for my kind of income (which is minimum wage in my state on a bi-weekly 32 - 40 hour weeks, more in the middle of that lately, basis).

To add insult to injury, even if you make the minimum payment (at this point it's $110 a month), they put it towards the past due amount instead (at this time it's 201).  So even if you put in $200 on in, they won't put it towards your current payment, and will put that $110 onto your past due as well as their $35 late fee.  The only way to avoid both is to pay the exact full amount...which is fine unless you can only pay $50 a paycheck because of dwindling hours (or $100-110 a month).  Which means they'd take $110 off your past due, slap on the $110 that you just "missed," and slap on another $35 for a late fee.

But with my weekend job, it's ensured that I'll have an extra $100-$150 to toss in on another bi-weekly basis, which means I could have anywhere from $200 to $250 a month to toss in if worse came to worse, and $350 to $400 a month to toss in if things keep steady enough.  Which means I'd have that stupid past amount due paid off completely, and they'd have to knock my minimum payment down to $60 a month (which was what it originally was before they jacked it up after I missed a single payment when I was out of work).

Thanks Obama.
