I just want to talk to the characters in books. We are already friends. Anyone else share this feeling?
-
hehe I felt that way about Anne of Green Gables…but I didn’t know I was gay then…
-
I don’t usually think they’d ‘get me’ or whatever but I feel that way about a lot of characters, actually. Some of them come and live in my head so I’m not too lonely. I don’t think that’s too weird?
-
If I could I’d live in George r. R. Martin’s universe, or Anne McCaffrey’s Pern. I just know I’d get along so well with everyone, LOL
-
I’ve always wanted to live in the Shire and smoke pipeweed with Frodo.
-
Sometimes I find myself talking to them in my head, then I realize I’m talking out loud and people are looking at me funny

My biggest problem with being shy is that I just CANNOT engage in idle conversations with people when I first meet them. I either get completely tongue-tied or I talk about obscure movie references or weird food histories. Maybe I will practice being more normal here: What do you do for a living? Where do/did you go to school? Have you seen any…[Read more]

it is easier online. i’m a librarian & i too, love obscure movie references. grew up with The Princess Bride, Monty Python & the Holy Grail, and several other oh-so-quotable movies as favorites. i love the color red. how about you, saltybox? (& all you lurkers). :)
-
It is easier online, although I do enjoy the confused look I get if I say “Have fun storming the castle” as someone leaves.
-
that is fun.

small talk is baffling, I can never figure out what to say and then it all just becomes awkward silences.
-
Yeah, me too. It’s worse when I’m at work though – why oh why do I have to have customers that need entertaining? My favourite small talk is the weather. I just make it up, of course, but that’s the fun bit hehe
-
and then the silences stretch on and on and the longer they go the harder it is to break them…yeah that sucks
-
-
I always find people like that intimidating. I love talking about the weather, but I always care too much about it. Like, I want to talk about the social and political aspects of it, and how people perceive it to shape national character, and all this other bullcrap nobody wants in their small talk.
-
I know, I always forget good things to ask until after the conversation is over.

Hi I’m Chloe from (or rather, near) Melbourne!
-
hey, i’m also from melbourne! :)
-
I am jealous of the Melbournites :) it’s my favourite city in Aus, I am moving there when I get back from overseas next January.
-
ah good choice! where are you off to?
-
Off to Europe – backpacking and some study in Denmark :) I am really looking forward to life in Melbourne town though, I’ve wanted to live there for aaaages.
-
that sounds amazing, i might venture off to europe next year! haha i’m just a little biased but melbourne is the only city i’ve been to that i’d really want to live in (apart from san francisco). lots to look forward to!

-
yay! melbourne <3
-
-
Melbournestraddlers! Hooray!
-
Oh, that sounds awesome! Where are you doing your exchange? Hope you’re having an amazing time :)
I’ve only spent a week in Perth, but I loved it. Sun, sea, funky shops and cafes… if it wasn’t so far away from the rest of the country, I’d move there in a heartbeat.
-
Hey! I’m from melbourne too. I know it’s been ages but I’m excited about the existence of y’all.
