Hehe its okies, I dun mind.

My only stipulation is I don't know anyone. I know Id end up being an odd wheel yuh.

Well how else are you going to get to know us?

I showed up at a MANFAST event with knowing nobody really. I just showed up, introduced myself, chatted with people, went from there.

You wanna talk nerve wracking - show up at a camping event not knowing anyone :D

The man has a point.

Also I show up to things when ever I can and half the time I really don't know anyone since I live up in BFE but dammit I still go. Although I'm not going to this since I'm going like the week before.

Everyone's an odd wheel, except people in couples, which is not all of DGN. There's always a blend of old timers and newcomers, so go!

The camping thing could be fun. Considering I don't drink nor dance, and am terribly shy, I dun see what exactly is do at CC.

Remember the avoiding large groups of people bit? :D

Things you have in common with all of us:

1. You're on DGN

2. You feel weird.

3. You have an alternative side.

4. You're human.

5. You're breathing.

6. You like hugs. Yes, we all like hugs, even though we kid about it. For some of us, hugs come in the form of catching ones gaze for a moment. The touching comes later.

7. You socialize on here with the rest of us, so you are one of us.

Unless you're some 80 year old guy who's got a closet full of diapers, and has NAMBLA on speed dial, you're pretty much "in" in my book ;P

See you there!!

I love the ren fair. Though prompt won't be attending this year. Far to self conscious to go at the moment.

I invented feeling self conscious. I'm the empress of it. No, seriously. Every second I'm awake, I'm feeling self conscious. But I make myself go out and be social because if I'm isolated for too long, I go a little nuts (well, more nuts than normal). I just have to keep telling myself that everything will be okay. Then, when I get overwhelmed, I sneak off and hang out by myself for a bit until I'm okay again.

This is a great group of people going, and you will be just fine, I promise. I'm not a hugger until I know someone. I'm more of a wave and smile from a safe distance kind of girl.

Go back and read what ~Tszura~ wrote. Now go back and read it again. Rinse, and repeat. :)

I know i know. I'm just very neurotic X: I will try, can't promise anything though.

I'm the same wayyyy.

I will tries though.

Just haven't been to the ren fair in ages, mixed in with meeting a ton of new people, just adds to the uneasiness. I wonder if the ren fair will be as I remembered it.

Awesome offer Havoc :) Lacilliyr, this would be a good start, seriously. At CC, you can people watch, and don't have to talk to anyone at all if you don't want to. You can just blend right in.

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!" No, you don't understand...  This is my /etc/hosts file:   # Block Meta IPv6 fe80::1%lo0 facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 www.login.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 www.fbcdn.com fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.fbcdn.net fe80::1%lo0 static.ak.connect.facebook.com fe80::1%lo0 connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 www.connect.facebook.net fe80::1%lo0 apps.facebook.com12 # Block Meta IPv4 0.0.0.0 facebook.com ~~~~~ A METRIC FUCKTON OF OTHER FB DOMAINS ~~~~~ 0.0.0.0 zh-tw.facebook.com I had to edit it and cut off many lines because it's 2171 lines long and the overwhelming majority is just Facebook domains. Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
