ask me, tell me.

The problem with Livejournal is that it fosters an artificial sense of intimacy even when we know so little. I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Or something not so obvious, maybe something you just wonder about. Then post this in your LJ (if you want to) and find out what people don’t know about you.

I had to reword that meme just a bit, but the message is the same.

TCM is showing all kinds of fabulous early 1940s spooky movies, like Leopard Man and Cat People. Black and white movies on summer afternoons with cold water.

I tried to combat my horrid laziness by cleaning the bedroom. I picked up everything on the floor on my side of the room, and even vacuumed. One of the things I miss is having the bed against the wall. It prevents me from acquiring a pile of things, and I like to put my feet up on the wall while reading in bed.

How are you at making friends? Why aren't we better friends?

(This is an honest question, not a whiny passive-aggressive way of complaining that we do not hang out. I would think since we're both such good friends with Sarah, we would get on a bit more - but you know, life gets in the way sometimes... what are your thoughts?)

While I'm great at everything in theory, actually being great in practice hasn't quite happened yet. I have a streak of terrible shyness. I went through a couple years of college barely speaking to anyone. (Melynda could tell you how when we first met, she talked for four hours straight and I must have said four words.) I'm not especially good at exerting myself in social situations, then or now. I think in the two years, since Sarah moved and then Tyler and Melynda, I've stepped backwards and hibernated socially.

Would you want to be social?

I would enjoy meeting and getting to know you in person. Perhaps something from The Big Bang Theory's friendship diagram: http://3bits.org/drupal/sites/default/files/begin_friendship_3.png

That is a great diagram.

I waffle on socializing - at times I like it and need it and want it. And the rest of the time I want to be alone. But I suspect that a lot of it has to go with my crisis of the flesh.
