I was going to suggest that maybe she'd developed feelings for you but knew you wouldn't feel the same; it was easier for her to make you hate her than have to watch you flirting with men or rejecting her advances.

Ah, but that's where she miscalculated.  I never hated her.  Even now, I don't hate her.  I felt bewilderment and frustration, but never hate.  It was obvious that something pretty overwhelming happened, something that remains a mystery, but after a while, I came to see that no amount of begging for an explanation was going to work.  So I had to eventually just let go.  She gave me no other choice.  But I felt sad for her that she felt she couldn't confide in me.  Even an incoherent, irrational telling-off from her would have been better than the silent treatment.  I think what lingers with me is the outrageous proposition that a person could just turn on you so swiftly and completely without nary an explanation.  The whole "she might have been gay" theory didn't occur to me until many years had passed, and I may be completely off-base!

Chris, I'm not really a teen movie guy myself(specially as I get older :( ) but AP is a classic. The basic "band camp" joke is right through the movie this nerdy girl (played by Alyssa Hannidan - I think that's her name - who played Willow in Buffy.... *mmmm Willow*) anyway she plays this nerdy girl who bugs one of the main character right through the movie with these inane stories about her time at band camp, and it always started with "this one time, at band camp..." and then be some long dull story about playing the tuba or eating cupcakes or something. Well near the end of the movie when they're at this make out party (or something like tha, I forget exactly) she starts yet another "And this one time at band camp" stories, and the guy is like "oh god" and she says something totally sexual - i can't remember what, and then basically "so are we going to do it or what?" and so the joke is that you're supposed to think she's this nerdy shy quiet girl but it's really a rus  and she's this nympho and band camp was really all about sex etc. I'm not explaining it well, but it was pretty good (to my small mind anyway). Of course I'm biased towards the actress.....

Gotta say I never saw American Pie...heard about the pie scene and decided my life would be better without more of the same, thank you very much.  But there was something really funny about seeing "Willow" in this way!

Allison/ Willow was also in My Step Mother Is an Alien. She played Dan Akroyds kid and  forgot her name, but is the ex of Alec Baldwin played the step mom. Also in it was Jon Lovitz.

It has nothing to do with being "dull" but has everything to do with you being lucky that so far in your life, someone hasn't treated you with cruelty, greed, hatred or utter disdain.  Count yourself fortunate!

I have a couple more outrageous stories, but I don't want to think about them just now because I'm having a good day so far and don't want it spoiled!

I think I'm the dull one, Chris.. but I think that's cuz I always faded into the background.  I didn't have any friends until I was 15 or 16.  I was a shy kid, who grew into a shy adult.. The internet has helped a lot, except that the friends I have now don't live near me.  My closest, dearest friend lives across the border, 800 miles away.

RICHARD the depantings happen probably when I was 11 or 12. Here's some more outrageous stuff....

First transplant I was in highschool the principal announced over the loud speaker to the ENTIRE highschool "Just to let everyone know Rachel made it out of surgery and doing well." Do you want to know how many people called me or sent me cards....3!

When I was younger I had stains on my front teeth (now they are fixed ) well I had a DARE officer say to me at lunch..."maybe if you stop drinking pop your teeth wouldn't be stained like that!" The stains were from something kidney/bone related...a**hole!

My first boyfriend ever I went to Cedar Point with him where he broke up with me and let me wonder around the park by myself until my mom came...I was 15  at the time. Later I went to confront him why he broke up with me....his excuse "I don't want to date you b/c you will be sick all your life and cost me money."  TRUE STORY!

At my highschool the top 10% of the class competed to speak at graduation. Well I was invited to join the competition. I got home one day and my mother wrote my entire speech!! I told her no way in heck I was going to use her speech. Her response "Well fine f***ing use your own speech but you will lose."  Well guess what folks not only did I write a kick ass speech but I won the competition and spoke at graduation!!!

wow at 15???? (well at ANY age that's outrageous and selfish). A teenager is so wrapped up and serious about that stuff at that age? WOW?!! As for breaking up with you at a place like that and just leaving you there... well shows he wasn't worth it anyway (if you didn't already know by then). Jerk.

You've got a good 'un now so... not to dwell on losers. Just pity whoever he's upsetting these days!!!

Spilling a milkshake when we met MooseMom does not count. Drivin thru the bad parts of Chicago, bad GPS setting. Nothing like getting depants or having a friend go bonkers on you type.

I've probably told this one before, but this is one of the reasons I don't trust my doctors..

When my last kidney was failing (and this was about a year after I told them I thought there was something wrong with my kidney because of pain I was having and they told me it was all in my head), my levels took a dip, so I was admitted to the hospital.  They did bloodwork and a biopsy and came back and told me that my kidney was failing.  Even though I kind of suspected it, I was really upset because I'd only had it about 2 years, and I was hoping that that one would be the last I'd ever need.  They sent me home when my levels improved a little bit. I went through the grieving process and eventually came to accept that my kidney would eventually fail. About 6 months after they'd sent me home, my levels dipped again, so I was back in the hospital for tests and a biopsy. They again told me that my kidney was going to fail.  This time, I just looked at the doctor and said, "yeah, I know."  And the doctor just walked away.  It just so happened that while I was in the hospital this time, Hurricane Juan hit, and I was stuck for about a week, because it was dangerous for anyone to be outside in that week.  I'm not sure if it was because I was stuck there, if it was duty, or if it was just plain curiosity, this doctor, and a social worker came to see me.  They asked me straight out why I was sabotaging my kidney.  I just looked at them. I was stunned.  The doctor said to me "Well, you didn't react at all when I told you your kidney was going to fail."  She was right, I didn't, but she didn't seem to get that one of her colleagues had told me the same thing 6 months before.  She still completely believes that I deliberately caused the rejection, and did her damnedest to keep me off the transplant list.  She also believes that I started in motion the peritonitis that eventually caused so much scarring that I could no longer use PD

Riki, that's more than merely "outrageous".  I'm not sure I have a word for what that is.  It's outrageous squared.

Chris, we'll get you down to Las Vegas and make sure something "outrageous" happens to you...how about that? :clap;

This might be outrageous. Treatment not covered by insurance, so have to shell ot $450 to doctor to get orthotic for bone prooblem, but if it gets bad enough and a brace is needed, then insurance will cover it, :banghead;
