I've been posting here for a while, but I never introduced myself. I've been a pretty anti-social person in all aspects of my life, and here is no exception. (Not that I'm against socialness, I'm just bad at it.) I'll post freely and give my two cents where I think I have an opinion, but I've never been very personable, and after two years of posting here, still no one knows who I am. I was having a discussion with one of my friends about my horrible lack of social ability, saying I don't think I'm interesting, I'm afraid of offending people, I'm nervous around people I don't know, etc., and she said basically that if I don't give the effort, most of the time I won't recieve it. So, I figure this is as good a place to start as any. I even notice that within the forums there are little cliches of people who seem to be quite fond and familiar with each other. That's the kind of relationship I yearn for. So talk to me and see if something beautiful can't be started...
No matter what you say, and where you go, someone is going to think you suck. And you're going to find a lot of people you think suck, too. It's a lot easier on the internet than in real life, though; both finding people who don't suck and coping with those who think you do. Point being; don't let the anxiety hold you back. Jump in, say your two cents worth and let the chips fall where they may. It's only the internet, it doesn't really mean that much at the end of the day. edit: Of course, at 300+ posts you've clearly got the jumping in part down pat
well..i noticed its 300 posts in..3 years? i've only been here lil over a month..i have no probss socialzing really so yea fel freee to be yourself say anythingf you want on sany subject..we welcome you
I can be pretty manic about social interaction...one extreme or the other. It just depends on my mood,who I'm talking to,etc. So anyways,your friend is right...you have to get your voice out there,if you want someone to hear it...let us get to know you...what kind of music do you like? What kind of movies do you like? Have any pets? Hobbies? lol...I'll get to know you even if I have to force it out of you!
Hello, you. I'll be sociable with ya! PM me anytime and if you're on MSN Messenger, PM me your username and I'll add you. Not many people get this hospitality from me so heed it well etc *hug*
My voice, eh? Well, I'm usually pretty cautious above speaking about the issues that mean something to me when I'm trying to get to know someone. You know about politics and religion and current events and shit. But, anyway moer about me. I've been told I have lots of good qualities, I just need to feed off of them, without dwelling and fearing the bad. I work at a little news station in Hamilton Ontario. It's a head trip on it's own. I work with hundreds of people, which is really kinda overwhelming for me, but i get by. I get really upset (on the inside) if I don't think I've done a good job. I'm an editor/cameraman. Many people compliment me on my work, but my supervisor is always hanging over my shoulder, and I think my work suffers cause of him. It's a fun place to work, unfortuneately it's pretty much all I've done all summer. I like music alot. Good music. It can be anything. I'm a musician, so I listen to the notes more than the lyrics, but if a song is lyrically retarded, it can't be listened to. I play piano, some guitar, but mostly bass. I've been really inspired lately by Primus, and learned a bunch of new techniques from them. I've tried to be in a couple bands, but they always fall apart. I don't really know why. I don't think I'm that good, but I don't know if that's it. Maybe cause I fail to make a connection with those new people too. But I like harder rock mostly. Coal Chamber, Tool, stuff like that. I also really enjoy some classical music, funky music. I'm in love with Tori Amos. I think she's the woman to end all women, and i get lost in her voice really easily. I do the same with Maynard's voice (from Tool). I like movies and books that make me think. Recently I've been watching documentaries alot, when I have the time. I love horror flicks too. But of course I always appreciate a good witty comedy. I think South Park is the best show ever invented. I don't play video games really....they could never catch my interest for too long. I've been a pothead for almost 10 years. I kinda want to stop, but it's become such a part of my life.....I've been cutting back on it a lot lately. It's hard though, when that's they only way you have to bond with your friends.... I do have a girlfriend too. We've been together for 2 1/2 years, but I think we're gonna break-up. That is, I'll have to break up with her if she doesn't stop going loco on me. She's awesome aside from the fact that she's horribly insecure (like me, except unable to control any resulting outlashes). We're perfect for each other and it's unfortuneate that it seems to be ending the way it is. I have two cats, but one is mine. She and I have a really special bond. Her name is Cheshire. She gets jealous if I pet the other cat, or if my girlfriend sleeps over. She always runs to see me when I get home from work. It's unfortuneate when the other cat does too, cause then Cheshire has to beat her up. And she's a scrapper. And a hunter. We don't have any chipmunks in our neighbourhood anymore. I have to go to work in an hour. I really dont want to. I've been thinking that I have to quit my job cause it's too social. But then I'd feel like I'm giving up. But it really is a kind of hell being there. But I was so lucky to get that job in the first place. I always fail interviews, cause I'm never personable enough. Someone is always more likeable in the first meeting. So I have to stay there and get as much different experience as I can so that I have a reason to give people to hire me. I really just want to lay in the sun all day and read my book. Oh well, it's cloudy today anyway. I have a feeling work will bitch at me for taking off early yesterday. That would be bad. I've already been busted for it once. But people tell me I don't have to stick around until the end of the show (I run the teleprompter for the 11 'clock news) if there are no updates or final stories. The other editors always take off early. And the anchir will even say to me 'i think your clear to go buddy). You just have to check with the producer, which I did yesterday, and he said it was fine. So I was sitting outside waiting for my ride, who was so late that they finished the newscast and everyone left as I was sitting there. And the Production Assistant walks by and says 'you copped out of telecue there were two story left!' So they fucked me again. Hopefully no one will say anything though. The producer didn't seem to care when I saw him leave, nor did the anchor. I hope the PA was just joking. OK, I'm gonna break now and get ready for work. Anything interesting to talk about here?
