BREATH, WASTED

Overheard: The beautiful girl on her cell phone leaves a message.

“I don’t know whether you’re ignoring me, or just, like, extra busy or something. I really want to talk to you… Whatever.”

    I don’t know whether to mock the beautiful women in this street excerpt or be humbled by the universality of rejection.

  • ella Says:

    This sounds like me the other day. :(

  • Maggeh Says:

    Yeah, we’ve all been there.

  • BOSSY Says:

    Same thing, really, right?

  • Julie Says:

    like….omg…kk….gtg

  • Jessica Says:

    HAHAHAHHAHAHAA! I have overheard conversations like that. Tres tragic.

  • Mimi Says:

    Translation: “I want you to react to how I’m feeling, but I know you (still) won’t… ” Don’t you wish we could all just express what we really want/need to say? Ugh – the price we pay for the things we don’t or can’t say…

  • Hillary Says:

    I am the kind of person who would have said something to her. Something like—- “Apparently they just aren’t that into you, and they aren’t worth your time. Don’t waste yourself waiting on them”. The worst part about it is that when I read this I imagine that it is a “girlfriend” (or so called friend) and not a boy. I imagine that it is a person that this pretty girl thinks is ’so cool’ and really they are just a meany. Give up pretty girl. There are lots of people out there worth your time.

    I knew my cousin was finishing her internship today and moving out of our apartment this weekend but how in heck did she get to San Fran so quickly?

  • aimee/greeblemonkey Says:

    I am not sure if I am more saddened by what she said or, like, how she said it.

  • ella Says:

    I am very sad by this. I left a comment up at the top saying this sounds like me. well, i went crazy on that guy (not calling back) turns out his phone was broken (yeah right)I have learned

  • MissSally Says:

    Was she wearing leggings and Uggs and talking on a Pink Razr? Because that’s how I’m picturing it.

  • Barbara Says:

    Awww. Poor thing. Like the show “What Not to Wear.” Sometimes you don’t realize how bad your choices have been, until you watch/listen to yourself on videotape in front of your friends and family. Had she been able to see herself…listen objectively, she (we all have been there, sister!) could see how pathetic it seems. New show idea: “What Not To Do”

  • melissa Says:

    At least it’s not only ugly girls like me who leave messages like that. lol. . . :)

  • Brooke Says:

    I’m kinda feeling her pain, though. A couple of nights this week have been spent trying to avoid doing some drunk dialing, ending up with words like hers spilling out of my mouth.

  • Dana Says:

    Oh the feeling of wanting to talk to someone when they won’t allow it. Awful.

    Hi, :) I randomly found your blog, looks like we share some similar interests! Please check mine out!

  • Heather Says:

    Ahh, the joys of young dating.

  • Amy Says:

    This is a reflection of my life with a teen. There is SO much in that statement and I have to agree with Aimee as posted above. The “whatever” discounts any sort of caring. I find that teens typically use that so as not to seem to bothered by what preceded the word…beautiful people have insecurities too.

  • Amy Says:

    Let me guess…

    Paris trying to get back in touch with Larry King? She wants a do-over.

  • Jenny Says:

    LOL That had to be an experience.

  • abbersnail Says:

    Oof. I have wanted to leave that message so many times. I can so clearly imagine how she was feeling… sadness!
