I never was good at intros. Please regard me kindly.

Post by RhapsodiesOfWind » Fri Aug 06, 2004 11:27 am

Despite the fact that I tend to prefer ( okay, always prefer ) things like this to doing something awkward like discussing my opinions in person, I still can't escape the feeling of being beaten over the head by the social anxiety fairy. As I said, please regard me kindly.

I actually took an interest in forums when a friend, after hearing my randomly generated fragments of ideas, suggested that I stop burying my opinions and start sharing them with other people. I never give it much thought myself, but what can I say? She's always right. It didn't take me long to find my way here. I've been reading Real Life for a couple of years now, and somehow choosing the forums seemed natural. Maybe it's because I enjoy the idea of overclocking a microwave. In any case, I'm certain I'll enjoy it.

Thanks in advance for the welcome, and pardon my...well, insanity. If you haven't noticed it yet, you will. You might want to run now. I'm one of those quiet ones.

Greetings. I should warn you, the social anxiety fairy doesn't wield half as mean a club as some of the other members of this forum.

Welcome, though. Don't hesitate to share your opinions here - everybody else does, and science has yet to find a way of stopping them.

Welcome to the forums. I don't really know what you mean by "insane." I think I might have known at one point, a long long time ago, but now.....it all seems normal around here :wink:

While I no longer read completely insane/retarded posts and think "My God, another human wrote that?", I think normal is a bit of a stretch.
For example, lifedeath's post didn't even raise an eyebrow. But I could feel a little part of me die deep inside.

Bicurious? Is that some sort of German soup?

I think Germans make sausages, not soup.

Hello! :)

Welcome, I too am newish, and don't worry about the whole insanity complex, I think that's regarded as a kind of asset here :?

Enjoy your stay!
