Hey, this is off topic, but "I thought she knew I was joking" describes perfectly something that happened to me during a few crazy days recently. So, I had made plans to get together with a lady friend on friday last week, but she never answered the phone when I tried to call. I started getting impatient and wondered what the hell was going on so I left a few voice messages on her cell phone. On some of those I goofed around and acted like I was all desperate and on the brink of nervous breakdown. For fun I had often faked being really sad as well as totally pissed off when talking to her, so thought she’d understand I wasn’t seriously a mentally unstable person and didn’t give it much thought afterwards. Anyhow, the next day I finally got an sms from her saying something like "Max, I’m sorry, I hope we can still be friends but I don’t want to see you now". I sent a few sms back saying that I had no idea what was wrong and asked for an explaination. She just answered that we would talk later on and asked me not to call for a few days. A few days later we talked, and she explained that those voice msgs she got from me had really freaked her out cuz I "didn’t sound like a normal person". Took me some time to convince her that I was just messing with her, but (I think) she believed me and now we’re ok again. However, since then I’ve catched myself being cautious about the way I sound when leaving voice msgs. What a mess, just becuz I thought she knew I was joking <img>
