“You just invited and then disinvited me to something, Mouse. I WOULD have come if you’d invited me, but since you also disinvited me, I’m NOT coming. Think about that the next time you’d like to just INVITE me.”
Sometimes people that shy have to be shown the OTHER side of their meekness; that it is in many ways disingenuous, always counterproductive, and, in fact, self-centered.
Heres me thinking it was shakespeare but at least I got the timescape right.

Nicely said, traveller… Me likes the Shakespeare.
I love Disney’s Robin Hood…
I had a fella in high school (I think it was my frosh year) that invited me to a dance on the phone, but hung up immediately after he got the “with me” out of his mouth.

Sorry, but calls ’em as I sees ’em.
Yeah, faint heart never won fair lady, Mouse. Heard that in a cartoon I think.
poor mouse. he should have stopped halfway through.
If I was to invite someone over to my place, it would transpire more or less exactly like this.
/srsly, I make Mouse look like an extrovert
Not that I’m much of a one for “one-downmanship” (thanks, Jim Davis, for that term), but I wouldn’t even get as far as making the invitation… *sigh*
Kona: Yep, it was a cartoon. Disney’s “Robin Hood”.
