The Great Library of Autostraddle 12 years, 3 months agoI’m finally reading “Rubyfruit Jungle” and it’s great. There are so many lines and passages I can relate to. I’ve been underlining like crazy, a habit I picked up in college and just can’t shake!

My English teacher from high school can’t read without a pen or pencil in hand because she’s so accustomed to doing that. I wish it were more ingrained in me because I feel like it makes you a more engaged reader.

Shystraddlers 12 years, 3 months ago
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.
