Index Card Letdown
FOUND by Cristie-Jo Fitzpatrick
in Albany, New York
My boyfriend picked this treasure up off the community college floor. I feel pretty bad for the guy being fronted on.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Fantastic!
I love the separate writing/speaking styles, different colored pens, different handwriting and opposite feelings toward index cards and a relationship.
It's two worlds collided in one note!
Colliding is right!
Well, she ain't so "just nice" when she's 'jonesing' for index cards!! (I suspect she resents the squandering of a rare and precious index card on an unwanted proposition.)
Better frontin than backin dogg.
"Let's not even just be friends."
It's nice to see some straightforward, honest communication for a change.
I agree with Christina.. obviously two worlds colliding on one index card.
Honestly, this made me laugh out loud.
What does the first sentence say, and what does it mean?
"I don't like you, I am just nice." That's priceless. You really have to spell it out for some people. I hope he didn't take it the wrong way.
I'm glad to see the Blue Pen is finally catching on to Black Pen's crap.
I'm thinking that if he'd given up a few index cards she might have agreed on going to the movies with him.
The first line says, "Why you frontin on Meg?", and thus, not the "guy" that the finder thinks is being fronted.
Ahahaha! Awesome how the young adults converge with their secret notes! Communication strategy at it's best!
@ JOH(n)- "I don't like you, I am just nice." Absolutely priceless! Simple, yet to the point.
You gotta be cruel to be kind.
And that's when the guys/gals come outta' the woodwork and stick to you...like cling-ons!
So in short, what he's saying is, "Let me take you to the movies. I like you. You not never nice at all."
At first, I thought the first line said "Why you printing on hemp?"
@Holly ... except the librarians - it was getting crowded here in the woodwork anyway
It's funny how at first he is asking her out to the movies and then when he gets rejected he says that she's not nice at all. I think in his own way he just wants to get back at her for turning him down and even if he had any index cards I don't think he would of given her any.
So if he gave her index cards, would he suddenly be her prince and she'd go out with him? Shallow tease.
I wouldn't share my index cards with anyone. no matter how nice you were.
He comes out with it pretty straight too; "I have a feeling you like me", I'd never have the balls to say that.
Reminds me of something from Breakfast Club...spoiled uptown girl meets slang-happy boy. I say he has a chance yet.
This world would be such a better place if we all just had the index cards we need!
Also mlm: I think it's "Why you frontin on men?" Or maybe "Why you frontin on me?"
Mona - I bet you have those multi colored index cards. Nice!
You not even nice at all...translates to Dang I ain't never gonna get none of that!
Joh(n), I'm annoyed by your last comment.
@Night: But I haven't made my last comment yet.
Hey Abbott and Costello -
I mean Night and Joh(n),
That line of thinking could go on all (n)ight.
@Mary, you're probably right. It's probably "me" and he scratched something out at the end of the word. It looks like he made it a comma at first, then changed it to a question mark. So it seems I was crackin' on the finder for no reason at all.
and appropriately coloured pens to use on all of them too, Alan.
i dont think it says 'meg' i think me and he put a very large dot under the question mark. maybe he was originally going to put a frowny face but decided that would look lame, so tried to cover it up with a large dot under his question mark.
the second handwriting has to be a girl's, its too bubbly to be a guys.
p.s. am i the only one who needed a calculater for the spam protection??!!
hmmm.. my name made it sound like i was tired from being bed-ed....
strike that extra e + d
that is not why i'm tired. :/
Wih my students were so ardent in their pursuit of learning tools.
This is so very familiar! I often have to explain to guys that I am not flirting with them and I am just a nice girl. Twice I've had guys from classes literally stalk me. It's creepy. It makes me want to be bitch but I just can't seem to send that message to those boys. I guess I should have flat out told them that I didn't like them I just needed to borrow a pen. Lol
Imagine them at the movies........ communicating with index cards......... and a flashlight.
Yah, Whiskey, that's why we all carry a box of 200 pens in our backpacks. Girls with no pens are an easy catch.
The first line definitely ends with "Me", not "Meg". Further evidence would be how our friend caps "Movies" and "More". They're not proper nouns, just the way he writes his "M"s.
Whiskey. Are you flirting with me?
At first glance, I thought it said, "why frontin on, hag?" and I'm all like, well fuck YOU, asswhole! who you callin' Hag!? gimme some fuckin' index cards or stfu!"
And he's all like, "c'mon, hag, you'll go to the movies with me if you want some index cards..."
ha ha... I love how she said she doesn't like him... she is just nice. I totally had that happen to me! Can't a girl just be friendly?! Come on boys... give it up!
dude...i am this girl...only I dont really get why people think im nice...friendly yes, but not nice...
why is it that only skeezy men hit on nice women. my new theory is that they are only skeezy bc they are insecure- they dont actually want to get laid...which turns the whole nice guys finish last thing on its head...
Miss Scarlett...
Your theory is inaccurate. "Skeezy" men hit on ALL women. They figure if they hit on enough, they may find a drunk one or one with low standards. Your perception is that only dirtbags hit on you because of the sheer numbers.
Now be honest... Are you looking for a nice guy? Or a nice LOOKING guy.
@ LIBRARIAN- I stand corrected, sweetie! I know where to find you, ALWAYS!...and it's NOT in the library! (Well, sometimes!)
You're so right...it was getting crowded in there, GEEZ! So crowded, that people were starting to roil others feathers and such!
Good thing that you're *The Boss* in there and you run a very tractable environment!!
I think one day, you should invite 'moi' to your *Woodwork* place.
I'm anticipating yor invite...
Luv Holly
^^YOUR invite^^^ Sorry!
holly, you're just creepy.
YES
Creepy.
@Alan and Joh(n): and it might have gone on and on if I hadn't lost my internet connection all day. Now y'all are probably sleeping. I guess the last comment is mine. But not the last laugh.
why are you people so cruel to this kid? so he made a mistake. the girl could have easily just said no in a nicer way. how else would you respond to such harsh rejection? they obviously have some form of friendship, or he wouldn't ask why she's "fronting". in this instance she was probably ignoring him, and he was confused because he thought she liked him. this type of thing is why people get anxiety problems.
He sounds so much like my friend George. It's very sad.
Hmmm. She sounds kind of like me.
MAYBE it's a note from the future!
Gosh, I hope I don't end up at a community college.
The last line proves that his philosophy is "The best defense is to get offensive."
(Glad you're back, Nightingale!!)
She probably would have gone with him if he gave her some index cards, just to be nice.
@ feeling in coherent...
It was an observation more than anything...I am looking for no one at all, as i am completely, rediculously in love w. my best freind...now how to tell him...but he is far from the standard hottie...no shallowness here...
This made me laugh a bit, but then I felt bad for the guy who read the signals wrong. The focus on the index cards made my day.

@ NAME WITHHELD- IS THAT WHY YOU'RE THE ONE HIDING BEHIND YOUR USERNAME???
Name witheld in undisclosed location???????
Learn how to spell, IDIOT!
That is all.
Talk about poor grammar. That's not acceptable even at a community college. I would turn him down based purely on his grammar.
Hahaha. I laughed out loud when I read this.
