<p>^ lol, I fully expect to see a person like you out in the quad spearheading a political protest. Gotta have people like you or the world would be a bit boring![:</p>

22

<p>Many interesting posters in HSL. :D</p>

23

<p>^^ Yep, political protests are my thing. I get called “terrorist” (mainly jokingly) for my support of Irish Republicanism. And freeing Palestine. Apparently the Tibet view doesn’t carry the same connotation. But the international Socialist Revolution might, but not when I accurately phrase it as eliminating poverty.</p>

<p>Cucumber is a friendly and funny person, but she is a terrible small-talker.</p>

25

<p>Toxic is nice and funny, but seems mean and serious at first. </p>

<p>People always think I’m really mean and serious when they first see me. I try to smile, but I look very mischievous.</p>

26

<p>Claire is smart and nice, but hangs out with the weird kids.</p>

<p>I think they’re all compliments though.</p>

27

<p>Cucumber is a poised and confident girl, but she makes an idiot out of herself all of the time.</p>

<p>The other day, someone accidentally kicked a soccer ball on the beach and it landed near me. Trying to be cool, I kicked it back. It hit a random person’s umbrella and went back and hit me. Then I tried to just pick it up, but I dropped it twice after trying to pick it up. The third time, I finally got it and threw it back. It made it halfway to the guys playing soccer.</p>

<p>I could go on with lots of more stories, but I would need my own thread for that since I have too many. Actually, I might need my own website for that.</p>

28

<p>^ Do it, then send a link. The story sounds funny, as long as you’re not beat up about it.</p>

<p>ksarmand is very honest, but sometimes too honest.</p>

<p>ksarmand is the smartest dumb person I happen to be acquainted with.</p>

<p>ksarmand is fun to have around but lacks social graces.</p>

<p>The list goes on and on.</p>

<p>

Yeah, we definitely share these sagas in common. :stuck_out_tongue: Yours beat mine in length and embarrassment (I don’t have too much shame when it comes to these things so I’m assuming that you’ve also just resigned yourself…that’s a good thing, I think) by a long shot though. I’m just a bit awky.</p>

<p>

Yep, this too. Is it bad when I feel that I’ve done a good job “small-talking” that I say, “Oh yeah, look at * you * small-talkin’ like a boss!” ? My internal dialogue can get a little strange.</p>

31

<p>^ LOL, your internal dialogue does not sound strange, but rather awesome. I am envious.</p>

<p>I’m horrible at small talk too. It gets really awk sometimes when I’m with another person equally horrible at small talk… So this one time I went down to get coffee with my best friend and her BF ( major crush on him at the time)… and she went to the bathroom for I swear, 10 minutes, and her bf and I ran out of small talk in like 30 seconds. We just sat there in silence uncomfortably. So I start cracking up like we both usually do in these situations and he just sits there… awesome. He laughs every time he sees me now haha.</p>

32

<p>She’s really smart, but she seems kinda weird.</p>

33

<p>

Yep, when I met my then-boyfriend for the first time he just gaped at me (he was/is completely and utterly awkward) and so I thought, “Ah gosh, you’re #3 on the blind date roster and it doesn’t look like we’re going to have too much to talk about. #4 please :rolleyes: …” since we only met under the pretense that I was a potential Prom date (given my standoffish personality, I didn’t have guys knocking down my door…well, okay. I can’t even take my tongue-in-cheek hyperbole seriously. I had no prospects whatsoever). And so I blurted out, “SO, how about that weather?? :smiley: <em>nudge</em>”
He continued to gape at me; added in something about how it * did * seem like it might rain soon.
Finally, my sister interjected and took his wrist…saying, “Wow, what an interesting watch!” From then on, the conversation got only worse as I found out that he wasn’t interested in school as much as I was (my only comfort zone excepting dance), and that he enjoyed gaping as opposed to conversing. Yeah, as if human communication entirely transcends speaking…?</p>

<p>Hannah is really nice but eccentric [haha, looks like i’m not alone here]</p>

<p>I’m pretty good at making friends once I’m in my comfort zone… so it took a couple months to find a group in high school, but now i have no fear. I’m really a very bubbly person… sometimes…
One of my best friends kinda described me perfectly one day: “Hannah, are you bipolar?? You’re like either crazy bubbly happy or serious and brooding…” I’m working on mellowing out some of the more extreme stuff</p>
