They might not have been hip (too much Gucci) but they sure were skinny and boy were they snotty. They didn't want me in their gang, and to be honest, I didn't want to be in theirs. But it would have been nice to have had someone female and above the age of consent to talk to for the few months we were there (sniff)<BR/><BR/>I guess some people are so insecure and (let's face it, pathetic) they can't see beyond their own particular brand of uniform...Kate B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11997733172043900832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16681940.post-1151442196287184232006-06-28T01:03:00.000+04:002006-06-28T01:03:00.000+04:00Haha. Dear me, people ARE strange.I joined a music...Haha. Dear me, people ARE strange.<BR/><BR/>I joined a music group here for kids. No one talked to me for 4 months. I'd smile at people and they'd blank me. Very strange. Then one day my daughter was playing with someone else's child and I got let in. It was great and I still meet them all once a week.<BR/><BR/>You know the weird part of motherhood is being confident in yourself and doing a demanding, successful job for years, only to be relegated to that team picking embarrassment at school sports time when you have a kid and have to meet other mothers. Nothing worse than being left on the sidelines. <BR/><BR/>I hope they get their heads out of their arses and talk to you. Or a large dose of karma to them...maybe an unexplained gain of 5 pounds overnight?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07423801933833225894noreply@blogger.com
