May I ask for some older, wiser person advice?

I have an acquaintance, named Maribel, who is probably the most annoying person I know. She emails me CONSTANTLY, even if I don't email back. Sends me a daily ecard. And when we talk, all she ever wants to talk about is how rich her family is, how many famous people she's met, the books she's read a thousand times, how awesome Hannah Montana and her movies are (and she's 16, a little old for Hannah Montana) etc., etc. A few years ago, she used to call several times a day, until my dad told her to stop calling. I've had to get my mom to tell me that dinner is ready or that I have work to do when Maribel calls. So, how do I tell her to stop contacting me without sounding mean?

(BTW, typing all that with a finger brace... epic win.)

I would lay it on the line. (I know I'm not older, but I do have my wise moments. Just take everything I say with a bucket of salt.) You don't have time to be gabbing with her 24-7, (You do have to talk to me every once in a while! And sleep, and shower... ) and when you don't have that much in common, it's a waste of everybody's time and energy to be chasing a friendship.

Of course, as far as daily emailing and talking about books read thousands of times and celebrities... Does she sound that much different than us?

I mean, we discuss what singers smell like.
But do you know that she doesn't have any kind of a disorder? Maybe she's just tactless, I guess, with the whole money issue, but the Hannah Montana thing at sixteen makes me think that maybe all the lights aren't on?

And yes, folks, you heard it here first: Tani's future husband is named Darwin! Her future sister-in-law is named Dayna, but with a silent 'n', apparently... They all have D names.

Oh, eenie, more than sourland can comprehend.

Yep, eenie, a lonely person with definate low wattage in those lights. Tani, you are a very nice person - just sayin

I begin to fear that this thread is dying.

Poor thread...

Aw don't worry eenie, once I get mouth back in gear there's little chance of the thread dying.

Oh, I thought that was Em.

Remember, Eenie, JD attempted or assisted in at least two hijackings while Queen Em

was absent - he always has plenty to say!

Hey Bunny.

Yup, I'm yacky! Two successful hijacks, two assists and five more attempted. I've got Kleptothredia real bad!
