And you're incredibly adorable when you're intent on winning a friendly argument.
I mean, if it were a real argument, I doubt I'd be saying that. (Y'all are notoriously bad-tempered sometimes.) But this is just an amusing fake-argument between friends... more of a goofy mental exercise to see who can outwit the other next.
I agree. Definitely a load of fun. He gets that sparkle in his eyes, the determination in his voice, and the willingness to call in loads of "material witnesses", as he calls them (who really just happen to be people minding their own business in the cubicles around mine), to support his case. I did learn something though.... never cross your arms in an act of stubbornness in front of a Ram. They take that as a definite challenge that MUST be met at all costs. (The argument had almost finished before I did that, but when he saw that bit of body language, he walked right back and got back into it again.)
See, even though John's The Boss, my immediate manager Kelly refuses to let him put windchimes or a gong (or worse, he "threatened" to carry around a bullhorn) in front of my cube so that he can announce his presence (because I've been known to shriek and jump in surprise on exiting my cube when he's been standing there without my hearing him), so after the fun argument that day (which ended in my bringing in the windchimes the next morning as a joke, and then later presenting him with his own mini cow bell as a continuation of the joke), he's now decided to whistle a happy little tune whenever he's near my cube.
I swear I'm NOT that bad!!! I mean, yes, I *do* tend to startle easily when I'm under stress, but most of the time, I'm fine. (And I have fantastic hearing, so it's only when I'm stressed that I kind of get buried in my own thoughts, and unable to pay attention to the sounds of people around me.) He just startled me when I was really stressed a few times. So now he thinks it's fun and funny to continue teasing me about being so nervous. He feels like he's "won" the argument, and he delights in continuing to let me know it.
Of course, my message on the cow bell was "Tag, you're it!" so that's probably why...
I missed being here and talking with you, too. This site is fun. :-)
It's just been a VERY busy time at work. (He definitely likes to "initiate" things on a grand scale at work, because he says he likes to keep his marketing department on its toes.) It finally calmed down enough that I feel like being my normal chatty self again. When too much is going on, I tend to disappear from the social scene. Can't handle the added mental stimulation.
**laughs** Ugh. I'm always thinking about him, or dreaming about him. It's pathetic, really. I lived my whole life without being this interested in a guy. And then along comes one who is completely inappropriate, and bingo -- he's the only one I want.
**nod-nod** Kelly (my manager) is a Libra, my coworker Filomena is an Aquarius. Together, we three are the marketing department. And John is an Aries. He's everyone's boss. But, there are also about 75 other office people in our building, plus all the truck drivers and warehouse people and 120 outside sales people, so we've got the WHOLE zodiacal spectrum working for us. :-)
Man, I sure hope he and "We" (that's my nickname for the girlfriend that doesn't seem to be a very serious relationship... he's never said her name, and he's only referred to her twice in the past year as a barely audible "we") aren't talking marriage. I don't think they are. He seems to be flirting more with me lately than ever before. If he's flirting *that* much with me and planning on marrying someone else, I'd be really surprised at how badly I could have misjudged his character. I'm a pretty good judge of character, usually. (He seems to be very noble and chivalrous and all the good things Aries are suppose to be. And he greatly admires and respects other people's Character. That's how I originally got his interest.)
He's already done the marriage thing, though... twice. (I hear Wife #2 was a huge nightmare for him. No idea why he divorced Wife #1.) My goal would be to become Mrs. Third Time's A Charm.
well keep your eyes peeled open.... worse comes to worse, tell him to give you your first french kiss before you resign !!! oh dear, I know you'll be dreaming about that the rest of the day.
haha OFA, you may have one of the more introverted ones...I'm similar but can switch between introvert/extrovert --- I can't even seem to get mad these days even if I tried --- it might be a problem now !
**tosses a homemade chocolate chip cookie to Zen** Yes, you evil woman. I *did* think about that the rest of the day. Made it very hard to concentrate. And then on Friday, he wore the outfit I love best on him: a charcoal button-down shirt and matching pants, and wireless glasses. It makes him look like a sexy college professor. **sighs** Want!
**nods at OFA** He's never directed his anger at me (so far, either. I'm glad of that. In fact, most of the time, when we're not teasing each other boisterously in the hallway (which annoys my Libra manager, because she likes things quiet and civilized), he talks to me in a gentle, calm, infinitely patient voice. It's as if he's afraid I might fly away in fright if he scares me. (Which could happen, I'll admit. I don't have wings, but I move really fast when I want to.)
P-Angel.... Yes, so I'm noticing. **grins** Which is where all of you Aries on this board come in handy. I want to get to know Aries people better, so I can respond to John better, and also understand why he says and does the things he says and does.
Hey Jennie, since you want to know everything there is to know about an aries man, there is a great book on sun signs for both man and female. It is by Starsky and Cox. Its called Sextrology: The Astrology of Sex and the Sexes. Its amazing, really. It'll tell you down to detail and with plenty of analogy to give you a better idea of what they mean. If you can't find the book, are short of money, or just get impatient like I do, send me an email at whitney_boling@hotmail.com and I'll just send the text to you via email. Anyway, its just funny I stumbled on this looking up things about my own aries/pisces cusp crush. I'm normally drawn to leo, scropio, and sag, but this guy really went out of his way to impress me!
**smiles** Thanks, Sickleesweet. I've found sites that use excerpts from Sextrology. It looks like an excellent book. Even if nothing ever comes of my attraction to him, I think I'm going to get the book. It'll be a nice reference in case I find anyone else I'm attracted to.
Just sayin'. **grins**
