paul and yours truly on Christmas morn (respective facial expressions are an adequate representation of our feelings on holidays that involve waking up early.)
One evening, Paul and I had a disagreement, and I felt the need to educate him on the finer points of communicating with yours truly. You see, he wanted to listen to music that particular evening, and I did not. Here's how our conversation went:Paul: You never want to listen to music.
Me: Sure I do- I'd just like to be asked what I would like to listen to. (here I felt the need to instruct, and took the ball and ran.) Besides, you shouldn't say "never". It is not a representation of the way things actually are, only how you feel. I like to listen to music, so "never" isn't fair. (here Paul is listening quite intently, trying ever so hard in his cute Paul way to understand me.)
Paul: (looking considerably puzzled) Okay.....why do I feel like you never want to listen to music....please?
I believe afterwards we listened to Coldplay.

Coldplay is good sensitive-male-communication music. Good choice, whoever chose it. ;)
i like this post. guys are silly.
obi-one! train those less educated (aka: me) on the skills of educating men.
redstarmama- up with Coldplay, indeed!
katie- word up, dude
leolani- sadly, I feel I still have much to learn. Here's one thing I have learned: anything you say sounds a lot better if you're offering their favorite candy while you say it. Am I suggesting bribery? You betcha.
Hi Andrea, it is I, Wildon Wu. Found my way here via the redstar. Just thought I'd say hi. The few entries I read were very entertaining and very "you" (or at least what I remember about you).
