5/6/2008 - Good afternoon. That'll be 25 euros, thank you very much.

5/6/2008 - Social

I'm afraid that if I start talking to someone I don't know, they'll tell me to shut up or worse. I see your point though. The lady from school who is supposed to drop off forms to a box on my porch ends up ringing the bell 20 times (I hide) and later said, "I was looking through your windows--did you get a new dog?" Totally creeps me out. I bet Silver Wind will have something to say ;l

5/6/2008 - Talking to strangers

If a stranger out in public talks to me I automacialy assume they must be crazy and werid, becasue why else would this person I do not know be talking to me unless something was wrong with them. And than I am forced to engange with them, becasue if someone starts talking to you what else are you suppose to do, stare at them blankly like a retard. So really if poeple do not speak to me, they are doing me a favor, by not forcing me to than respond to them.

Luckily when I fly it is usually only to LA to visit my sister, which from North Cal to South Cal, it is really just a comuter plane with mostly only business people on it, so they don't want to talk anymore than I do, becasue they are busy with work and on thier lap tops. And I do everything I can to aviod human contact on planes, I always sit close to the window and just keep my gaze out the window so not to make eye contact with anyone, and to look unapporcable.

Usually if I am out walkiig and happen to just catch someones eye who is passing me, I will just give a head nod but most the time when I am walking I am jaming to my ipod anyway.

5/6/2008 - I knew it!

I think it's funny because she's so friendly and generous with her comments on this site! I get the feeling that if Silverwind and I met on the street we would hate each other. Perhaps being on the internet lets people find what they have in common whereas in person, it might be too easy to classify them without really knowing them.

5/6/2008 - Being Social

LOL, yes I know the way I am online often seems contridictory to my typical nature. But I do have more control online over my interaction, I can pick and choose what conversations look interesting to me, and well I don't have to deal with people in person online and if I do not want to talk about something online it is easier to just ignore it.

Though in person, I am surprinsgly not as mean as one might be inclined to think. At least not typically.

Same here. From what (I think) I know about the people I interact with online, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be friends with 98% of them if I knew them in person.
