Chat Thread: Chopsticks and teacups

[Calixti]

...

My father had a minor stroke WEEKS ago. My mum just told me tonight.

It makes sense, really; he used to be relatively graceful, now he's as clumsy as I am, and it's become normal for him to forget what he was saying or lose words mid-sentence. But I didn't connect it with a stroke until my mum told me.

He refuses to go to the doctor, even though he admits he had a stroke. He's also a heavy smoker with high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney failure. But he refuses to see a doctor.

Someone come knock sense into him, please?

Accepting punishment means accepting responsibility for the action.

Since when Love? It is not as though individuals are not wrongly imprisoned.

They have not accepted the punishment, merely had no choice but to be punished

I'll spare you my terrible conversation skills (if they can be called that). I'm a bumbling fool the first time I speak to someone.

It took two or three visits with Tea and company for me to completely let down my guard and speak freely without fear of looking like a moron. ninja

We're never going to get over that stumbling block if you won't take the first step.
I talk like a moron most of the time.
I have difficulty articulating what I mean and I suffer rather badly from social anxiety.
I'm willing to give it a go if you are *grin*

Some of it is a function of culture clash. Speaking from experience on that one.

~shudder~ Someone broke into my car.

They didn't take anything. Nothing. Not the money that was even in semi-plain view.

They left something though.

They left a Catholic Communion wafer.

The window wasn't shattered, was it?

That's just...beyond creepy. sweatdrop

Edit: HELLOOOOO, SAETRIL. wink heart

xd Sounds like we'll be two peas in a pod. I say things in my head like five times before I blurt them out, and I still get it wrong. ninja

If I get on AIM while you're on (and if my keyboard decides to function...I got drunk and spilled my kahlua and chocolate milk on it, so now most of the keys stick when I type sad ), I'll send you an IM.

Nope. Looks like they popped the lock somehow.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Heheheh, as far as social awkwardness goes, I think I have a supply in spades. 3nodding

Greetings Saetril. surprised  

[TeaDidikai]

Fiddler- you'll be meeting Saetril at ReReCon.

I'm beginning to think we're all horribly socially awkward in our social awkwardness.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Well, so long as i have something to eat, I can generally overcome my anxiety... like many animals, I will leave the safety of teh den to get food. domokun  

[TatteredAngel]

Weighing on the social awkwardness (though I have yet, sadly, to see any of you in person-- er... come to New Mexico! Land of friggin' enchantment!), it's all about perceived social safety for me. I can either come off as having extreme social anxiety or fairly effusive. It's all about whether I think I can comfortably get away with being me.

Also agreeing with Fiddler on the food part. Mmm.  

[Fiddlers Green]

For me, nothing says comfortable like plenty of food.
All of my must protect my food, will starve instincts fade when everyone has plenty. And there is somethign primally comforting about social eating to me. 3nodding

Shredded Seraph, I know some people down that way, maybe next year. 3nodding

Methinks everyone here knows what I look like anyway. 3nodding  

[maenad nuri]

So, what do people think of a gift exchange. Like actual, physical packages?  

[Saetril]

Hi BlueRoseTorn!!!! *BIGHUGS* When's the next time you're coming down this way?!?!? Last time was lots of fun!!

Fiddlers Green: Nice to meet you! It will be fun to meet at ReReCon biggrin
