I don't see why everyone's so upset about these tribbles. They're awfully sweet, and incredibly cuddly. I think they're rather nice. But... well, if we're supposed to be putting them somewhere there's about fifteen or so that decided to nest in my office. And the four that I decided to keep... I heard something about a boiler? That's kind of

Thank you so much! You know, I never did get those books to you.

To be quite honest, I forgot you promised to let me borrow them.

Locked to Marla

[elizabethdehner]

Well, I've remembered now. I should dig them out again for you.

If it's not too much trouble... I really would like to take a look at them.

Locked to Marla

[elizabethdehner]

Its no trouble at all, of course.

Thank you so much.

Um. Could I.... could I ask you a question?

Locked to Marla

[elizabethdehner]

Sure thing.

And of course you can.

How do you know if you like someone?

Well, I think for me its always been a comparison between friendship verses romance. If I can see us having a quiet dinner with candles, it's probably romance. If I get butterflies over the prospect of accidentally running into them in the halls, or consider what I look like that day more than usual. There's a lot of factors involved, but I think most of all, you just know that you like them if you want to stop your usual pattern of living to include them in it more.

What if... what if they're not really the dinner and candles kind of person but you still kind of get butterflies over the thought of maybe running into them in the halls?

Locked to Marla

[elizabethdehner]

I think that still counts.

Um. I have another question.

What's a good way to tell someone you think you like them?

Locked to Marla

[elizabethdehner]

Just be honest. So long as you aren't stepping in on another woman's territory or going to offend them (though I don't see how that would happen), just be honest. Tell them how you feel, explain it maybe.

What if... what if he doesn't feel the same way? I mean... we're friends, I think. What if I like him but he just wants to be friends and it gets all awkward?

I'm so bad at this...

That's the risk we take when we tell someone how we feel. They could come back and tell us that they don't feel the same, but the upside is that if they do feel the same, its the best thing that could have happened to us.

I'm not really good at taking risks.
