say something about ... yourself!

[Det Som Engang Var]

He's said himself multiple times that he thinks he has social anxiety disorder. That, coupled with the fact that it's always easier to say what you really feel online without having to deal with the reactions caused by your words (and the ability to backtrack into "you obviously missed my sarcasm" land) is probably why he's so different on the internet than than the outernet.

I always thought John was totally awesome and never understood why he feels like he doesn't mix well with others in social settings. I still think he's awesome actually, but lately he's been dickin' it up online and going way overboard with the drugs and alcohol. I've given him words of what I consider decent advice that I think could help him, but I get the impression they go in one ear and out the other. I just hope he doesn't end up fucking himself over. It's always scary to see a 17 year old going so hard with the drugs and booze, especially in addition an overall negative outlook on life. I also hope my perception in regards to the last part of that last sentence is wrong.

Please don't turn into a tweaker John

Actually I got over a good deal of my social anxiety disorder when I started hanging out with more people a few months ago. Although I'm so used to Houston folk I was pretty damn nervous meeting other Neverboarders. Most of the time I'm a douche it's when we're discussing music...but I'll try to keep my mouth shut.

Please don't worry about me so much guys, it makes me feel really guilty. I <3 you all and I'll be fine.

"McCain: I will win Iraq, kill bin Laden and start President's Question Time"

Thinks this sounds ridiculous.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

has incredible back pain.

Possibly due to lifting that 200 pound dog.


fucking assholes for letting that dog get so big, and the groomer didn't even get a tip, not even a thank you

You lifted a 200 pound dog little Nikki? Impressive.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

*envisions nikki lifting a 200 lb hot dog*

You lifted a 200 pound dog little Nikki? Impressive.

hhaha, it took three of us, but it tried to jump off the table and I grabbed it and put it back on the table before it could hit the floor.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

I think I may quit Macy's this Saturday, hand in my quittin' letter on my way out. It's kind of hard to explain the way I feel there. It's not all that bad, but it doesn't make me happy at all either. Plus there are some typical retail irks that I could do without. I don't need the job, so, heh. People have been quitting on the spot like mad.

I'm applying for some other jobs in the meantime.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

though I'm fairly broke, I've quite enjoyed being jobless

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Professional wielder ov Devil Sticks!

 

[Shpongled]

I'll be fine.

Famous last words.

Make us believe it.

 

[Nikki]

I'd probably die if I was jobless, hahah I need money!!!


plus I like waking up mornings, there's something great about feeling the morning air. Except when I only get around 4 hrs of sleep,ha.

I wish! The one job that would truly make me happy. I'd love to juggle at Scarborough Faire every year, but that place is a 45 minute drive away

 

[Shpongled]

A 45 minute drive once a year is too much?

 

[derek]

though I'm fairly broke, I've quite enjoyed being jobless

Same.

Although I'm technically employed until July, I'm doing nothing just now. Sweet, sweet nothing.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

A 45 minute drive once a year is too much?

haha I did that twice a day for 9 months,

 

[derek]

Two years for me, and it was an hour.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

45 minutes (without traffic) for two months. no thanks. after traveling an hour and a half each way for almost a year and a half, i want no more than a 15 minute commute.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

It was a 5 minute walk for me.

 

[Will Bozarth]

can't fucking wait for Candlemass... and the reactions of Max and Dan because of what I have up my wizard sleeves.

OK that makes more sense haha. I thought you meant you would love to do it, but didn't wanna drive 45 minutes ONCE a year for it

 

[slashvanyoung]

Haven't been posting here much in the last months because I've been caught up in lots of workage at the airwaves.... not that anyone would care, 'cause I've never "settled down" here.

Anyway, right now I'm trying to get a grip on my lousy English after my 8th beer. Been lucky to have a day off tomorrow after lots of bugging. Setting out for a little tour over the weekend with the band... yay!

Some random thoughts before I pass out on my sleepiness:

@Det Som/John: I really like that you are so straight up about your opinion concerning music. But that's not the point why people are worried about you... keep your head up!

@ct_thrash/Cara: Are you completely done with school/college/whatever? Just the thought about working at a place like Macy's in such a position frustrates me. I could never do that over a long period...

@Shpongled/Kevin: I've read your thread about the new Metallica the other day and your first comment (the e-mail you sent to one of your band mates) just hit the nail. Exactly my thoughts!

@Will Bozarth: Yay, Candlemass! :Smokin: Is Björkman going to be there?


And: I have to commute 3 hours a day if I take the train...
