torn asunder

sorry - the body language question wasn't related to women, it was related to how men hold themselves confidently without coming across negatively, as it's been brought to my attention that i always come across as too indimidating/unapproachable...

this is what i took to be the main premise of this thread, and it feels like maybe it was missed a bit. i know a lot of people who are really great, but nobody finds out because it's hard for them to start conversations. this is my issue as well - i'm fine once i'm in a convo, but where to/how to start one is difficult. question - with body language, what's the difference between confident and cocky? or for that matter, confident and aloof/standoffish, or distant, or uninterested, etc.? my advice for women is to not assume the subtle hints you're dropping, either verbally or through body language, are being perceived. many guys are dumb as a bag of hammers when it comes to reading these things, so be obvious if you're into someone. you may think you're being ridiculously transparent, but most guys won't see it unless you actually *are*. (or is that just me!?)

i'm feeling *very* frustrated by something non-board-related.

sugar-free shockwave energy drink.

we'll see. i really couldn't care less about anything happening in general, just would like to see some friendly faces for a change. of course, i always tend to figure that people have better things to do than hang with me, but maybe i'll just stay with my sis & play it by ear. at very least, i can sit in the basement, watch some tv & play guitar, which is all i'd do at home anyway. who knows? maybe something will come up. oh yeah, and btw, anyone?

i'm thinking that "needle and the damage done" is coming along nicely on guitar...

like i want to call people about the weekend, but i always feel like i'm imposing, so i'm hesitant to do so.

trying to decide if i should come out to detroit this coming weekend, since i have to travel to A2 on the 14th anyway; wondering if anyone would want to hang out w/me on friday night or saturday, depending on when i get there, if i even decide to go...

sorry, but as soon as i saw the title, i thought of this song!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz3tIOMdupo

unacceptable!!

2 cd cases, 1 stack of loose cds, sunglasses, speaker box, rain-x windshield cleaner/cloth, several work certs, and a hickory axe handle.

i'm feeling like i don't really want to go to the show tonight, but i told the band i would & i wanna support them. i just hope that, for a change, i meet someone interesting of the female persuasion...

*drum roll*

OH. HELL. NO. (i just had to disable the flash blocker add-on - great shoot!)

sitting home, mad that i missed my outplacement class this morning, mad that my truck broke down on the way there & i had to sit in a non-running truck for an hour in 10deg. weather, and mad that the repairs are gonna cost me $325. on the plus side, at least i had a roadside assistance card, and i've got yummy smoked sausage & veggies for lunch, and i have time to get a fire going so i can finally warm up...

figures - i've been having lots of similar minor issues recently. wish i could figure it out. thanks.

only tried to go to that gallery page, enabled flash (i'm in firefox with a flash blocker) but the page remains blank. i also tried to paste this link - http://www.b2photographique.com/ssp_director/Galleries/2009/091228_Briana_Emma_Shoot/index.html - into internet explorer, does the same thing, just a blank page.

x-files! actually, i'd really like to see "the lone gunmen" come back. i loved those guys!!

"even as an adult, ronnie still loved ruining class pictures!"

i can't get it to work for me - guess i'm not supposed to see!?

sent you a pm!

no need for attitude - i checked the trash can, and there's nothing from you & this topic in there, which means either it never got posted, or as mstrbeau said, it's a glitch of some kind...

only if you allow it... and i'm feeling both energized and worn out.
