I need your advice..

I never thought I would be coming on here to ask for help. I've always thought of myself as a strong person and that I could be self-sufficient.

As I walked around the mall last Friday night, I went into FYE (http://www.fye.com/) to see if there was anything I could afford. While in the store I met a lady. I found myself fascinated with her, and now..

I am in love with Bjork and like to listen to her all the time. Sometimes I go on YouTube and watch her music videos. It's getting to the point where I cry when I realize her and I are not together. At night, I lay in bed and think of how nice our lives would be if only we were together.

I called her manager quite a few times asking if Bjork would like to hang out with me sometime. I never get a response, and I think it's because the manager is not telling her my offers.

The manager is standing in the way on Bjork and I's future. I know Bjork would love to be with me. We have so much in common and she would love me, the same way I love her.

How do I get the manager out of the picture? How do I get rid of the bump in the road?

Please help,

:( I don't know whether to reply to this seriously or not.

Serious Answer: Il Ruffino. Go find someone else, or alternatively if you want this that much go find yourself a stopgap while you figure it out.

Non-Serious Answer: :D

if you don't know someone personaly and casualy from real life, you don't know them period. obviously if you did you would never have had occassion to run into their agent. and if you did know them from real life you'd know them by the name they sign their checks with, not the name that appears on recordings or movies or whatever, and by what they look like when their not made up to portray an immage.

that's why people in entertainment who have any sense, even people not in entertainment who hang out on the net alot, use names other then those on their birth certificates. if you think your in love with an immage, that's what it is, a figment of a marketing agent's immagination. the real person who works that immage for a living is just someone like anyone else, who happens to make their living that way.

so this is really just plain silly beyond words. and i'm sure i'm being an equally silly captain obvious to say so. but there are also people in this world, i know it amazes me every time i see it, who really don't get it, or want to.

It's obvious, kill the manager in an impractical and highly artistic way and then send her his heart as a token of your love, preferable wrapped in tissues soaked on your own semen.

As andarty type she'll appreciate the artistry of your brutal murder and sending the heart will only serve convince her of the depth of your feelings for her.

I've never tried this approach but I'm sure it'll work.

Never mind meeting or talking to Bjork. It seems you already have a far deeper relationship with her than that.

So I guess that it will come as no surprise at all to you, that though I've never met nor even exchanged words with you (a person no doubt) I hate you more and more each time I see your inscrutable alphanumeric doodle?

It won't worry you a bit, I'm sure. Perhaps you are already ignoring me (I never ignore anyone, btw. Censorship is stupid and wrong, and I won't do it to myself) but if not I'll say that your otherwise charming (if somewhat näive) posts are essentially negated by that trash you insert at the end of each one. It's like an UNDO button after whatever you have said.

Nope, not finished yet.

Is =^^=
....../\... supposed to look like something? I've squinted at it, leant my head to each side, tried biting my own tongue while squinting at it with my head upside down, and all I can think is that it's a sleeping bird with an upside-down beak.

Even if you could explain what it's meant to look like, I'd still object since it is essentially a SIGNATURE, a marking at the bottom of each post which is unique to the poster. Not everyone wants to see the same thing over and over on their screen, so Jolt kindly allows signatures to be hidden. You apparently can't abide by that, and put your alphanumeric spew in your signature (User CP at top left under the thread name, Edit Signature, insert your little logo, Save).
Nope, anybody who troubles to read your post must also endure your lame-ass l33t-speak angular grimace. OK, you're old-skool, you're ASCII, you're minimal, you know both the slashes. We'd get that eventually from your words of english -- they stand up fine -- without you spamming us with punctuation. It's so lame that calling it l33t would be a compliment!

Did you lose a bet or something? Is it a some kind of religious sacrifice of your own dignity? I mean, WTF?

What it is wasn't really my point though. I really like Cameroi, he/she reminds me of a certain nurse who once cared for me: plain-spoken and sincere, but immune to humour. I'm teasing him/her with a red-hot poker. Perhaps I shouldn't, and perhaps my motives aren't the best.

And for the record, it's Björk. Her full name: Björk Guðmundsdóttir.

Hey, before Cameroi comes back, we could make him a better cat, which he could just cut-and-paste. Then people would see the thing and think "sad cat fetishist" instead of putting their neck out trying to see what it was?

Assuming it actually IS a cat, not a snake or something. I'm still not convinced.

I'm not a musician, not by a long way, so I'll just say Björk's music is interesting but not necessarily good.
For the other thing, she's not pugly, nor fugly, nor plain ugly. She's very pretty, for a child. Which, oddly enough, she looks to be. I can't quite work that out, it might be a genetic thing. Anyway, she's not pugly.

Heck, her eyes are to die for. Never noticed if she has tits, frankly don't care.
