I'd ordered a new PC to be built, after my old one struggling its way through my demands. I get a phone call late at night... "Yo dude, your PC's ready. Come on over tomorrow." SO I'm just outside my apartment when I get another call: "Yo dude, I suggest you forget about it today. It's snowing like crazy here! You don't wanna get stuck in the traffic."

Story of my life :/ I'm finally about to get/do something, & forces of nature stop me.

What are the stories of your lives?

I allow things to progress on their own and give them a nudge in the right direction at my leisure.

Can't find something. Look everywhere. Pace franticly around the house. Finally break down and ask my wife. She immediately finds it in the most obvious place.

I call and call and call a person, trying to talk to them (whether it's something important or just for a chat), but I continuously get voicemail, never, ever getting through. Day(s) later, on the very edge of conciousness after lying in bed for two hours trying to get to sleep, I'm awoken by the ring of my phone. It never fails to be the one person I had been trying to reach so many times.

(I work overnight and sleep during the day so makes sense that they'd call then, I guess...)

Pretty much the same as that but with my mom.

Spent several months chasing a beautiful, smart, funny, elusive little girl who seemed to enjoy the chase as much as I, then just as I close in for the capture and kill, another one pops up, beautiful, smart, funny and gets in just before the first.

This after a three year drought.

Goddamn.

Procrastination. Also, getting up late and missing morning lectures, especially on a Wednesday when I only have two lectures and they're both in the morning.

Also, trying to pluck up the courage to ask out the gorgeous redhead four floors down, and then chickening out because I'm worried she just wants to 'stay friends', as always...

Those two, and when something is broken I think of a way to fix it, then over-ride that first though, using a second method which I always manage to assure myself will be much faster, only for it not to work, take hours longer to get to the point where I can't proceed, be forced to use the first method, which takes all of 5 minutes to do. Either that or I simply can't get it to work, until somebody qualified has a look, at which point it'll work perfectly.

D; *Envious of this guy* Wish girls would ask me out[I'm bloody shy, talking to a girl takes an hour worth of working up to do, or a shit load of alky, the second option usually meaning I'm damn near coma'ing before I'm ready to talk, the first option meaning they've normally walked away by the time I'm ready.].

Yeah, guys never want to talk to me. I'm the hot chick's ugly friend.

I am assuming correctly when I think you're a girl right?
That sounds a bit harsh(like no guy will talk to you at all, which I severly doubt is the case, otherwise you have a very nasty school).

Off-note:*Sigh* I need to grow a back-bone.

Yup, all-girl. And the school is in fact, nasty. If you're not one of the 'hot' girls, then at most guys will answer to you when you speak to them, but only just. And they'll never willingly approach you.

Lol, yeah, it might help, honestly. It's nice not having to make the first move.

That damn snowblower.

I start it up... it runs for about a minute... and then it refuses to stay working.

My folks come out and start it up on their first try, and yell at me for pretending to have trouble.

*sigh*
