    I finally got over my social phobia freshman year, but I'm still really isolated if I can be. Not to say I'm shy; I'm not. I just prefer the company of myself or one other person. Two or more people is just too much. I think it also comes from the fact that I'm an only child and spent most of my days indoors, with only Mommy and Daddy, because in my early childhood, where we lived was too dangerous to play outside, with actual people. :p

    *shuns the people person*

    Well I don't know about myself actually. People think I am, but I myself consider myself not to be one. Might be because I'm good at making people laugh and lighten the mood... :)

    Dinner though, brb.

    The odd thing with me is that growing up, I was always surrounded by people, and I'm told by my parents that as a younger child, I was really outgoing. Hit like 8 or 9 years old, though, and suddenly I was terrified of everyone or something, until partway through college.

    And now I'm just bitter and cynical with no patience for anyone, I guess.:rolleyes:

    Dinner, what??? I'm about to eat breakfast!

    Ok, two things I have just done because I'm alone in the house.

    1. Disconnected the subwoofer from the rest of my PC's speaker system and turned it up to full, just to see what happened (the air vent began blowing things off my desk) and then

    2. Reconnected the rest of the system and found out just how loud it can go.

    I won't be surprised if I get a few complaints because, wow. :eek:

    LOL, it's like 5 or 6PM Ragnar's time, Heather. :D That's so weird to me, too. I ate breakfast an hour ago.

    Xeno... you made no sense to me. xD What the heck is a subwoofer...? *Mecurial fail*

    Why don't I ever do cool things when I'm alone in the house? I just sit here on the couch...

    Subwoofer equals the Bass part of the equation.

    Therefore, the speaker that can be heard from downstairs while the rest is barely audiable. :D

    They're those things that idiotic teenagers install in their cars so they can irritate everyone else with their loud, rattling plastic with distant bass accompaniment.

    Oh! My friend John has a lot of subwoofers then. He just called them bass thingies. On our way to Cincinnati, we learned that you can get a ticket for breaking sound laws... :redface: I didnt even know there was such a thing as sound laws. The cops really dont like me on the interstates.

    Speaking of driving, I had a dream that I was driving a really tall ambulence vehicle and ran over a car because I couldnt steer correctly. I was scared of getting ticketed, so I kept driving, but I got ticketed anyway, for not taking the people I ran over to the hospital, when I was clearly driving an ambulence vehicle.

    My car speakers probably irritate everyone else. :redface: I'm pretty sure at least two of them are blown out, so it sounds pretty horrible, but if I don't listen to my music loud, I don't feel like I'm really listening to my music.

    Hahaha off to find a tape measure.

    Sounds like my kind of dream! Actually, in dreams where I'm driving, I usually find that my car won't stop when I put on the breaks. Anytime I have a dream where I'm driving, the next time I drive in real life, I get all nervous the first time I have to stop for something.

    I dearly hope that doesn't include me, considering it came with my PC and is nowhere near my car...

    subwoofer = largest of the speakers in any speaker set that plays the base.

    And yay you were correct, 6.17 PM here now. *congratulatory applause*

    I would have just gotten to work if I lived where you do.

    It's 9:25 AM here. And I'm bored.

    Seriously, I really hate being catagorised in that area. :mad:

    I also hate it when a CERTAIN TOWN places the entire blame for their bad reputation on:

    (Da-dada-dum-DUM!)
    TEENAGERS! Not residents, Teenage visitors who visit the town for summer. Could it not, possibly, be the reputation of the town that ATTRACTS people who like nothing more than drinking and clubbing? Could it not be even slightly likely that the town is trying to hide its own crapness by placing the blame on the people who visit it? I was once followed round a store BY THE MANAGER because he thought I was stealing things off the shelves! If any of my friends try and buy alcohol, even if it's just one bottle of alcopop, they get given the most distrusting look you will ever see, and then when they hand over their ID, it gets scrutinised under a microscope before the bottle is willingly handed over! I loath the British media, it classifies anyone under 20 as carrying a machete and several automatic weapons beneath the hooded jackets that they obviously have welded to their bodies. :mad:

    [/rant]

    Now that's over, carry on. :)

    I don't even remember the last time I was awake at 2:30 AM.

    Oh wait...yes I do...I danced on a bar. Sober. :redface:

    Haha I was filling out a five-year follow up survey for the dual enrollment courses I took in high school, and I just had a stupid moment and filled in "hispanic" for my race. Oops.
