Excuse me?

My friend George (the guy who took me snowmachining) and I exchanged emails after not talking for awhile..he emailed me first and said hi and talked about the elections. I didn't want to get into politics so I just said hi and that I heard Lisa Murkowski was winning (I voted for her but he hates her). So today I get this:

I see that the email is working just FINE, except for that overly long reply you sent--the one that took me 20 minutes to read! Seriously though, an email doesn't freak you out or anything does it? Here I'm trying to draw you out and it ain't working. Were you just tired, or didn't have anything to say, or...? Let me know, Heather, ok? For instance, when you get this, write me back and tell me how your day at work went, or tell me anything; I'd really like to know [and then he talked more about how Lisa is an idiot]

Umm excuse me? Saying stuff like that makes me not want to email you at all..I can't just..automatically do that cause I don't necessarily work like that..especially if you're FORCING me to write long emails and stuff. That was rude and it upset me. If you're trying to "draw me out" chastising me isn't the way to do it. And then when I see him in person he's always like "you never call me!" when he KNOWS I'm really scared of calling people (I told my friend/coworker/neighbor Pat haha the same thing and she understands). And that just makes it awkward and stuff. Mehh..maybe I should talk to him about it..

In happier news haha..earlier we were getting ready to drive up Ballaine when suddenly dad goes "MOOOOSE MOOOOSE" and this big moose runs across the road. It was awesome :D

Whaaaat!? That is SO awkward. I guess it's nice that he wants to interact with you so much...but it's still weird! Haha. Maybe if you do just explain to him about it a little more he'll get it...but yeah, he shouldn't be forcing you to write long and drawn-out emails just because that's what HE wants from you!

YAY for a moose sighting! :)

I guess some people just don't understand that everyone's confidence and social comfort and talkative-ness is different. If I were you I'd try to tell him that you don't really like calling and stuff like that. If he still tries to ~draw you out~... at that point, personally I'd be like ok not worth my time to even try to explain myself again. XD Good luck if you do talk to him about it :)

Also, it's totes respectable to be shorter about something like politics, and I love when people have that kind of sensibility. you obviously do. Especially when you know that you and him don't exactly see eye to eye.

That's kind of weird. Maybe he's just trying to be helpful and doesn't understand? Or maybe he's a creep. Hard to say.

That was really insensitive of him.
If you don't want to talk about something he should respect that and not start a whole shitstorm (excuse my word choice) about it.
That's awesome about the moose.
