Scuddie take up drinking and dancing and they'll flock to ya like flies on whatever flies like

I only recently took up drinking.... Took it up because I was worried that I was giving the "I'm superior to you" impression to people - not that I wanted to imply that or anything. Some people thought it was weird....and a fair few thought it was ok, being teetotal...but still, over time I felt like I stuck out and that was giving the wrong message to my mates. Nowadays, I don't drink much, only socially, and even then not much. Alcohol doesn't seem to do much for me, by that I mean in terms of making me feel well spirited/calmer... well, so far I'm not too sure as I drink infrequently. I always felt (and still do to an extent) that I could de-stress through other means instead of drinking, and that people mostly just drink to make themselves feel like they "belong" or to make themselves fit in with others...which is something I could accept in my friends, but not in myself for some reason. I felt like I should resist peer-pressure, but then maybe I didn't encounter that much when I was a bit younger. Later on I started thinking about the possible impression I was giving to others and felt that I should try to change from being teetotal. Still, I'm wary about the effects of anything that I can imbibe/ingest that affects my judgement. Self-control is a strength...thing is, even now I've started drinking it, alcohol still doesn't draw me in the way it does others. Gah... I dunno if my brain makes the right chemicals sometimes.

Perhaps I should stop viewing it as being such a big deal.

Man, I can ramble on a bit can't I?  

Neo_Hermes. It tasted of Varnish lol cos i didn't wash my hands.....

*wonders what varnish tastes like...*

Don't go on a mad binge or anything fella, just "loosen up" or go to the pub and stick to Fruity juice or whatever takes your fancy. No law saying it has tyo be alcoholic.

And varnish tastes nasty..like....umm bootblack/polish.

Unfortunately, I've come to the terms that I am the textbook definition of a hopeless romantic.

Not to mention I live in California.  Too much disease, too much drama.  Also I'm anti-social/shy/cowardly .

EDIT:  Damn you, forums!
Juice bars would be nice, but people in Sacramento are VERY guarded.

As your sig says, boobs have taken over the world. Women are just blokes with different equipment loadouts. Think of it that way. Or just wean yourself into circulation socially, pick a bar, make it your local

I'm kinda shy too but a little less than I used to be. Someone once said that shyness is just egotism out of its depth (Penelope Keith IIRC... not sure). Some people translated it as me being anti-social. If you can accompany people who know you well and that you trust, just take it from there, meet others and your self-esteem will improve over time. I struggled to be open to people, and I still do sometimes but I'm not as bad as I used to be... at least I don't think so anyway.

If i remember correctly, the simpsons episode where Marge joins the Streetcar named desire musical, there was a song called "A stranger's just a friend you haven't met." bear that in mind

Also if you don't get on with people just don't bother with them. But you'll never know until you say "hi, i'm <insert name here,> try me  "

Hmm I might try multiplayer one day. Assuming 1) I can work out how to forward ports using my router, and 2) assuming I'm able to do that, I don't inadvertantly infect my comp with something nasty, thereby putting me off multiplayer forever. I've read the instructions on the multiplayer thread though.

Yeah, that'll ruin my nightly chemistry studies.

[Colonol Dekker]

My current connection speed would make Multiplay more annoying for you guys than it would be for me. *remembers the squadwars with pride*


At the moment, i'm checking my "other" fan-club

And for the topic statement: I get good at some computer game which: either no-one plays OR they just got bored with and move on to another...

To be honest, I sometimes find mentally disabled girl better than normal people if only on the sheer fact that they have a different out look on life. Of course if you're being sarcastic ...

Join the club Scuddie.

I just woke up. I've been searching for my EZ link card, which is kinda like an all purpose fare card for buses and trains, and can't find it anywhere. Damn.

Umm...

You really don't need to tell us this.

[Aardwolf]

I just beat the demo for Shadows of Lylat (Star Fox mod).

Actually no I didn't, because there is no such demo as of yet

[Stormkeeper]

I ate pie.

[vyper]

I came back here briefly.

Nothing much seems to have happened.
