Can't you see by the look on my face that I don't care?

I'm being polite, but isn't it obvious that's all your getting here? I mean, I've done nothing but nod my head in the last five minutes, and said "mm hmm". At what point do you take the hint that I just don't care? I too polite to tell you I've got something better to do, I was hoping that my staring at the wall behind you would be enough to clue you in, nonverbally. But it's not working, and you're still telling me all this, and if you asked me to repeat what you just said I'd be unable to. How can you not see this????

I've never heard of anybody being trapped by a proselytising UU.

8. Sorry
I was using the term 'UU' (double U)to represent the current lint speck residing in the White house. I thought I was being clever, but apparently I was so clever, that know no one but me got it. Oh well, not the first time.
Also, I offer an advance apology to anyone who the term could apply too, and in no way would mean to imply that said person(s) are analogous to the object of my lame derision.

9. I figured you might just be trying to be funny in an abstract way
since UU is one of the most non-proselytising religions I've encountered, and nobody who had a familiarity with it would take your statement seriously.

3. It's because I'm a compulsive talker
Any time I'm not running off at the mouth my heart is triphammering with anxiety because I get a real rush from someone, anyone looking at me for any reason, any reason at all and of course lots of people are like that, I mean like my cousin, the one I hated as a child - well, a lot of people hated her, I think I told you about this one time she won homecoming queen and she was just so full of herself about it that everyone asked me Is that YOUR cousin? and I had to say yes, I don't know what it is with some people who think that just because they have good looks or something they are better than anyone else, like those movie stars people make such a big deal about, I mean what have they got besides pretty faces and nice bodies, I used to have a nice body too but I never thought I should be in a movie or something, although I did want to be an actress when I was a little girl but don't all little girls want to be movie stars or ballerinas? but probably these days they want to be pop stars like that Britney Spears, now that girl is just a straight out slut, I can see why Justin broke up with her, I couldn't believe it when she kissed Madonna now talk about a slut, my best friend grew up with her and could tell you stories.

What did you say?

6. According to KCDem, I have borderline Asperger Syndrome
and therefore, it is futile to communicate nonverbally with me.

You'll have to be direct, and tell me, "You are boring me. Now step aside, cretin!"

:-)

(BTW, I disagree with KCDem's diagnosis. I am merely an unmitigated asshole.)
