does anybody else have a job where they have to occasionally be outgoing/happy bouncy people, even though you’re not really? it can be panic-inducing/fun sometimes, but it’s also tiring.

I’m so happy this group exists. Are any of y’all in TN? Would a shystraddler meetup be an oxymoron?
-
I live in Nashville, and I grew up in Memphis. A shystraddler meetup would be awesome and kind of terrifying and awesome.
-
Wow same! Grew up in Memphis, in school at Nashville. What’d a shystradller meetup look like? Going to bookman/bookwoman and readin g in proximity to one another counts as socialization yes? :p

We Straddle LA, Bitch 11 years, 6 months agoSo I’m getting my MA in American Studies (aka autostraddle + colorlines + racialicious + sepiamutiny) and it is Spring Break as of Friday. Im headed to LA and wondered if any of yall know cool queer spots to hang out. I lived in SoCal 3 years ago but Im sure a lot has changed. Tips? Hot spots? Lemme at em!

If you want a break from the usual WeHo Truckstop scene, I highly recommend Mugshot LA. It’s a monthly party held downtown, and it’s very fun/hipstery. Check it at http://www.mugshot.la

I’ve never heard of this but now I’m definitely checking it out. Thanks for sharing!

We Straddle LA, Bitch 11 years, 6 months agoIs anyone going to the Allison Weiss concert this Wednesday night? I’m not sure how successful I’ve been in trying to convince my roommates that they want to go with me. I’ll be there and it would be fun to meet up with another Autostraddler!
More show info is on Allison’s site: http://allisonweiss.net/site/tour

I’m upset I can’t go! I meant to request the day/night off from work but forgot to and now it’s too late. :(
-
Oh no! Good luck with work!
-
Gah, thanks. Are you going? I’m jel. She should probably move the concert to Disneyland, because that’s where I’ll be.
-
I am going, even if it’s by myself!
Oh wow, you work at Disneyland? I used to work at a theme park and that was an interesting job, fo sho.

I’m so glad you posted this! I’ll be there.
-
Awesome! Are you going with friends? Would you be interested in meeting up?
-

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.

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!

We Straddle LA, Bitch 11 years, 7 months agoI’m amazed there aren’t more people in here. Especially since everyone knows SoCal has the best weather… and that’s all, kinda. I’m in Redondo Beach and I don’t know why, but I have this huge aversion to travelling like 15 miles into any part of Los Angeles. It’s the traffic, oh god. The traffic and the sudden temperature increase from the…[Read more]
