Tara and Luann are both in love with the idea of themselves as being Piro’s savior. They want their interests, their tactics to turn him into a well-adjusted, happy person…and that would mean that they’re very special indeed. Otherwise, why expend all this energy on someone who’s obviously insulted by being the charity case for their do-gooderism? He’s not a fun person at this stage and needs real therapy, not pushy peers.
Piro hasn’t been taking care of himself, and I’m not so sure he heard everything or knew they were talking about him. If he did, that is so tragic. It might erase everything they have achieved so far. I think there is something else bothering him, and he didn’t want to be bothered with games and fourth grade jokes.
People who want to help at any cost can be a real burden. I understand Piro’s annoyed reaction, but I feel sorry for Luann and Tara too. They sincerely want to help him, but they don’t know how to do it. Also, no matter how wrong they are, they still have more tact than Bernice. Who isn’t difficult to overcome, but it’s still something. I hope that Piro will read his text in class because I want to know what he wrote about.
Child please… What a Drama Queen. Oh well… to finish up Sexy❤️Luann’s joke… Knock Knock… Who’s There?… Not Ann❤️Eiffel because you are too lowly and unworthy so eat your pathetic ❤️s out. Bwaaaa haaaa haaaa. The❤️Count made a funny. :) Maybe Tantalizing❤️Tara can take Pity Pot Pedro off roading under her Jeep. Be still, The Count’s ❤️… We can only Hope.Still… Valentine’s Day where we celebrate the beheading of a Roman priest named Valentinus in 270 AD. How romantic. And Stunning Ann❤️Eiffel and Yrs Trly, Modest, Humble, Drop Dead Good Looking, Patriotic The❤️Count… wish all of our fans a Most Happy Valentine’s Day… even though you don’t deserve it because you are all so lowly and unworthy. Benevolent, aren’t we, eh? TTFN
Wednesday, transition, possible misdirection play. I don’t think there are enough clues to really come too a conclusions yet, except that Piro is as mysterious us usual.
A difficult but important lesson to learn: relationships are about more than a simple “secret sauce” that works 100% of the time. You have to learn to listen to them and observe and let them tell you what they need, because it changes from minute to minute depending on what’s going on in their life.
I would consider that behavior weird and creepy. No hello or I gotta go, just a mean sullen look and then an exit. What a prize. Never mind that Luann and Tara are incredibly immature and ridiculous, that’s a given for many young women, but rude is rude at any age. Boo Hoo – Poor Baby Piro. Off to conduct his pity party somewhere else. Good riddance.
I wish Piro would have at least said ‘Hey, listen, I’m just not in the mood for either of those things, okay?’ instead of walking off. And I wish GoComics would stop requiring me to sign in every day…
Piro does not seem to have any good qualities. Why would any woman be interested in spending time with him. He clearly wants to be alone, just leave him alone.
A “hello” greeting would have been nice, from anyone. The art of conversation is listening. I expected the girls to try to outdo each other, ignoring Piro’s attitude.
I’m sure Piro enjoys their company but today is NOT a good day for that. Sometimes distractions, while they can serve a good purpose, simply don’t cut it. He needs to talk it out. Or perhaps write it out in a class assignment. Or simply be left alone for a while. He clearly has bigger issues than jokes or thrill seeking can address. My heart goes out to him, having heard a little of his life story.
Tara is such a self-righteous witch. Why does Luann hang around so many miserable people? Maybe they gravitate toward her because she has the light they wish they had. But it sucks for her.
Some people who are in therapy or have issues just walk away from a trigger. Maybe he was already in a bad place today, and just wanted to go to class and not be greeted the way he was, where only Tara even addressed him ‘slightly’ with a "hey cuz’. But it was not a hello, it was part of a question. Sure it was a bit rude to just walk off, but people with emotional issues are not going to always respond in the more accepted conventional way.
About the case of the missing purse/backpack: I may be wrong, but it shows the weakness of the storyline when it can be overshadowed by the location of a purse.
