a: yes, and in the worst possible sense. i've been wondering for ages how come that whenever i'm walking alone in any city the weirdos all walk up to me and say stuff. i came to the conclusion that i look at them, since i pay a lot of attention to people who live on the margins of society. i make eye contact first. no wonder that they think i'm someone they can talk to.
but i don't usually make eye contact with people i like and i don't know very well. that says a lot.

q: nice question. let's keep it going.
 
a: no, kinda for the same reason as claudia. I very rarely make any kind of eye contact on the streets, or if I do, I look really angry and I'm walking about twice as fast as everyone else while listening to music. However, whenever I'm in a one-on-one setting with someone, I try to maintain eye contact as much as possible. First off, it keeps me from getting distracted, and secondly, I like eyes. The downside to that being that I'll get lost in my gf's eyes or whatever and she'll be angry because I missed everything she just said. If I'm only hanging out with one person, and I want to be leaving, or if it's someone I dont' know too well, then I dont' make much eye contact.

q: indeed, continue.

I try to make eye contact as much as possible with everyone. When Im walking down the street and people look at me, I generally look them in the eyes and they stop right away, and if they dont I dont. I think it's some macho crap or smth, like Im trying to stare down the person like Im an animal. When Im talking to friends I always make eye contact, although my eyes wander from time to time subconsciously, and when Im giving a speach or smth of that nature I try to look everyone that Im talking to in the eyes atleast twice.

You?
 
A: no. i embarrass people when i make eye contact. they start flushing and stuttering, nine times out of ten. for the sake of wanting to hear what they're trying to tell me, i've resorted to look at people's nose or mouth instead.

Q: you?
 
Hah. :p
I make eye contact most of the time...whether I'm talking to someone in particular or just passing someone on the street. The only exception is speeches, where I've found the safest option to be the back wall, unless it's a small crowd.

Oops, a question. Err...what do you think of this?
 
A1: Nope, i certainly don't. There's been only one person in the world so far who i can look in the eyes without instantly looking away. I have a certain issue/paranoia about eye contact..
A2: I think the guy sounds like rahvin :p

Q: Could someone rip my ear off please?
 
A: I used to backyard wrestle and willing allow people to powerbomb me off tables through other tables that were on fire. I got a rush out of it. It wasnt so much self destruction as self improvement fight club style. I felt more alive front flipping off a 12 foot wall onto my friends wrestling persona than I did doing anything else. I didnt want to get hurt, but the risk was exciting. I did get hurt in the end, and I quit it shortly after we started taking it too far (barbed wire matches and such violent milarchy)

Q: you?
 
A: No. I have to get to know that person first.

Q: Have you ever been or are you currently a member of the communist party?
 
A: Majoring/was majoring in computer science.

Q: Yours?
 
a: not sure... i don't have that many huge regrets. not changing my look as soon as i entered university, possibly. but it's not such a big deal, i don't know if it can be filed under "great regrets".

q: you?
