"Oh," I said giving, what I could exoress as a surprised look and shrug. "I guess this is okat then,."

I sighed and said semi jokingly, "Get with the program Riley. You're supposed to convise me other wise. I know that's its wrong that I feel this way, so your supposed to convice me."

I smiled and laughed a little bit, shaking my head slightly toward her. "I'm going to feel terrible if you're not joking with me."

"Who said anything about joking with you? I am being completly honest with you." I said trying not to laugh.

I couldn't tell if she was joking with me. I hated when things like this happened.. I think she was though? I bit my lip for a second, trying to think of what I could.. or should.. say in reply. ".. Um.." I said, trying to gather my thoughts. Well, this was awkward.

"Wow Riley. Great response. I applaud you." I said with a grin, clapping. "Gosh Riley." I said with a roll of my eyes. "Shouldn't you know me well enough to tell when I'm joking?" I asked.

I grinned and laughed a little as she clapped. "Yeah, I guess I should."

"Exactly, but it appears you do not." I said pretending to be insulted. "Just for clarification, you're free to have what ever opinion you want." I added.

I laughed faintly and shook my head. "I guess not... but I will." I said with a small smile, bumping her shoulder lightly. "Opinion? Of what?" I asked, unsure why she was saying that.

"Never mind." I said shacking my head while laughing. For someone who I considered to be so smart, Riley was often very ditzy.

I laughed a little and shook my head faintly with a small sigh. "Fine.. I'm still confused though." I said with a slightly amused smile to myself. I could be quite ditzy at times.. wish I wasn't, but I was.

"I'm starting to feel that you'll always be confused no matter what." I said jokingly with a smile.

"I feel like that everyday." I commented while smiling brightly to her. "So you might be right."

"You know what Riley. You are not only a bit of a ditz at times, but have a really low self esteem level." I commented. He was too harsh on himself.

Post by Riley Pearson on Feb 20, 2009 1:28:13 GMT
Even though I wasn't surprised about her comment that I was a ditz, I was slightly surprised at what she said next. I really never thought I had a problem with that. I felt like I was generally pretty confident. "I haven't really noticed.." I said with a faint shrug. "Why do you think I have low self esteem?"

Post by Dorcas Meadowes on Feb 20, 2009 1:32:16 GMT
"Low self esteem probably wasn't the right choice of word. Its more like you don't think so highly of youself, which in a way is good." I said.

I nodded faintly and then gave a small shrug. "I guess I don't really think.. immensely high of myself.. but I don't think it's necessarily low.." I paused for a moment before shrugging again.

"It appears to me that you do, but to each their own opinion I guess." I said with a shrug.

"What makes you think I do though?" I asked her out of curiosity. I didn't really see it, so it'd be interesting to try and see where she was coming from here.

I thought for what seemed like a long moment. When it came to questions like this, I always seemed to say the wrong answers, or at least weird one's that never make sense. "Well I guess..." I said hesitating for a moment. "I guess some times for example, when I compliment you or something, like how I think you're really smart, you just push it off, and deny it." I tried explaining.

I nodded slightly. Actually, she had a point there. I did always do that.. with some every compliment. I think maybe it just had to do with being modest though.. I didn't like accepting things like that because I didn't want to seem full of myself.. or arrogant. "I think that's just me being.. modest, I guess. I don't wanna sound arrogant or anything."

"I guess that could be true." I said with a shrug. It did make some sense. If it wasn't that he thought lowly of himself, then it must be that he is modest. "Or you could just always accept it with nice, short, and sweet thank you?" I suggested.

I shruged a bit. I think that it very well could be. But her bringing up that I could just say, thank you, made quite a bit of sense. I chuckled faintly and nodded, "That makes sense.. I could give that a try." I smiled. "But who knows.. maybe it's a bit of both." I added, thinking maybe I didn't think that highly of myself combined with the modesty.

I smiled as Riley took my advice. I loved when people listened to me, despite knowing most of the time it was probably not a good idea. "The is very possible." I said nodding in agreement. Most things were a combination.

I smiled and chuckled faintly, "Yep.." I repeated again with a small nod. It was one of those times again.. those times when I wasn't sure exactly what to add to this conversation. I really wish that I did though.. and I also thought that being twenty-nine, I really should know how to keep one going.
".. I'm sorry, I'm still terrible at conversations." I chuckled.

I couldn't help but laugh as Riley admitted to being terrible at conversations, because I was sort of thinking the same thing too. After not having a real long conversation with anyone in like ten years, it became difficult to keep a conversation going, especially when I never was good at it in the first place. "It's okay. I'm not really up to par with my conversation skills either." I admitted.

I laughed lightly with her and smiled brightly. "I guess I don't feel as bad then if we're both terrible." I smiled shaking my head faintly. "Maybe we should work on this.."

Post by Dorcas Meadowes on Feb 20, 2009 3:24:20 GMT
"How do you suggest we work on it?" I asked. "It's not like we can help each other since we're both terrible conversationists." I added. I did feel much better knowing there was someone else out there bad at coversations.

I paused for a moment before letting out another small laugh. "You make a great point, Cassy." I said smiling. "That hadn't really occurred to me."

"It was just a tiny bit obvious to me already that the thought hadn't occured to you." I said holding my thumb and pointer close together to show how tiny.
