communication ...

percivalThis is a short entry from WORX - tonight is dedicated to COS, and since our DVD player hates our broadband modem ... I will not be online.
I really, really enjoy being with all of you and talking to all of you. Instant messaging has taken my
productivity to new heights :)
Funnily enough, I feel confident and at ease when IMming people - in RL I'm considerably quieter and more reticent. It's probably the quality one-to-one communication that I'm getting.
See, I'm not really a social animal. I don't feel comfortable in pubs or at parties, and I don't like getting drunk. I much prefer being awake and intellectually stimulated - either self-stimulated (daydreaming) or exchanging views and ideas. The fact that my husband is extremely quiet doesn't help.
(I can be silly, too. Of course I can.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angua9 is my witness.)
I don't think there's anything wrong with me - in the immortal words of the book title: I'm not crazy, I'm just not you.
So, Geekmoot will be a bit of a challenge - I'll need to stretch myself and become more outgoing again.
Go find my 21-year-old self.
And a nice wizard robe plus a Big Head Girl badge and some red hair dye.

It's one of the bonuses of hanging around with nerds - a good few of us are the exact same way, and certainly won't hold a bit of awkwardness in large group situations against you. :)
