I’m terribly shy and awkward around girls.. Not sure how to get over that. Anyone else in the same situation? lol
-
I totally know how you feel. The way to get over it is a process, and you take baby steps. One of the first things to do is just to talk even if you feel awkward, and accept that you’ll probably say stupid things that the other person doesn’t even realize are stupid. Average people, I’ve found, don’t pay too close attention to what you say.
Keep…[Read more]

Yes, I’m totally the same! I get really shy and usually end up making a fool of myself somehow whenever I’m around a girl I like. Its embarrassing.
Sharks, thats great advice particularly about keeping conversations simple and asking people about themselves, genius.
But seriously, I hope this is something that goes with time, hmfph…
-
Sometimes skittering is okay though. I met one of my best friends because he and I had accidentally skittered our way under the same staircase at a college scholarship competition weekend. (There wasn’t enough room for us to skitter away from each other there) It can turn out well. Not that I recommend it as a general strategy.
-
Aww, sweet story! I bet that it was alarming to meet someone so unexpectedly. Would be funny if it was a general strategy for meeting people tho.
I’m actually ok normally but when it comes to girls I’m suddenly introverted, shy and clumsy (ok, im always fairly clumsy). Its interesting cuz when I’m hit on by guys, I have the power but its the…[Read more]

You girls make me proud of being shy. Shy-Pride!

Ok Aussiestraddlers! So I’ve been inspired by this week’s amazingness — State of the Union, AS Camp — I feel like an idea such as camp AutostraliaNZ needs to be more than a pipedream. We prob should meet up somewhere first yes to see if it’s viable and not like 5 girls on camp (which would be pretty cool but still). Melbourne/Sydney in June…[Read more]

Sounds pretty good to me!
-
Yes!
-
-
We SO should do that! I am a massive massive wimp about meeting new people though, but I would totally suck it up for this!
-
ALSO i’m paranoid about being murdered by someone off the internet so I guess I need to get over that too! That is easily solved with like 2 drinks though.
-
-
YES; I feel like there’s some steam to make this happen! Do you guys know of the autochat group on AS? Might I suggest we make it (for now) a weekly thing for Ozstraddlers to get on autochat and get to know one another better/diffuse paranoia of cray cray ness/talk about the weather/creaming soda/ponies?? Whoever can make it, makes it, spread the…[Read more]

And yea, eventually a skype group maybe too, like Kirby suggested!
-
i do like this idea of diffusing paranoia!
-
-
I am also up for this. Please let me know about any plans you have!
I remember a couple of other Aussies signalling their interest in this who we might like to contact :)

Alright lesbians, import question. I had a roommate for the last 2 1/2 years, and my
rookie had a cat. I’ve relocated recently and brought my cat along, who lives with the rookie’s cat since she was a kitten. I work long hours, and noe she is all by herself. Does I need to rescue another kitty so she has a friend? Will she be lonely?!-
My roomie* had a cat
-
Is there enough space for two cats? Can you afford it? Do all other practicalities of having two cats work out? If yes: I’d say, go for it! It sounds like your kitty would probably enjoy the company! (And do ask your local shelter for a cat who’d do well with another cat, cause not all of them do.)
-
How much space do two cats need? I am in a one bedroom apartment. But the other things, yes.
-
That depends on the house, of course. Can they go outside? Are they allowed in the other rooms of the house? Can and are they allowed to roam the hallway etc.?
-
-
-
Well, keep in mind that some cats do not get along with eachother if they are adopted at seperate times. I got a cat ten years ago and then got another two years later. They totally hate eachother. Sometimes they get very territorial so getting another cat might not be a good idea. Try making a seriously awesome space for your kitty which is tall…[Read more]

Hey there, everyone. Well, it took me ages to make an account here as I’m more prone to reading rather than posting… looks like I found the right group for my inaugural comment, huh? Anyway, recently my lack of queer acquaintances has been bumming me out, so I thought, to the internet! And here I am. Only now I’m not sure exactly what to do. Eh,…[Read more]
