I figure I could ignore some of the memes and just join you when the topics are about things I am more interested in. I mean, it's all about picking and choosing. No one is forcing me to do or like anything. That being said, I like the people in these SBTs more than most other members (except for some of the oldies that still don't know about these).
I'm a lot more open here than I am in real life sometimes, but I am still myself when it comes down to the core. If anyone, whether it's in person or online, asks me for an honest opinion, that is exactly what they will receive. I may be a lot more shy in person, but my beliefs are the same. If I am joking, most people can tell.
I remember a particular user used to get upset with me for "hitting" on men here. Of course I did/do that, but most of it is in a joking way, or is something that I wouldn't take outside of the forum. That is the one main thing I would never do as much in person as I do online (I'm fine with doing all of those things with single men and women, of course). The thing that was striking to me though was that that same person only chastised me and not any of the men who were also participating. I particularly remember Hundy mentioning that he didn't mind it at all (and I did ask, because the participant made me question everything for a second there). That was an issue we had for a while. How I supposedly didn't act the same way as I did in person. But I did. Just not when it came to specific things that were more provoked by the community I was participating in. More than likely, if I were in a similar situation in real life (with an uneven population dominated by men), flirting would be a large part of the dynamics between men and women. More than usual. But real life is not like that for me, and I purposely do not enter situations like that because human interaction is not something I am particularly comfortable with. It depends on the person, of course, but it's hard to find lots of people to interact when I prefer to close myself off most of the time.
Anyway, I'm not sure why I am saying all of this. I guess I've been trying to see if I could ever be a different person online, and the answer is no.

As nerve-wracking and anxiety inducing it is to send out emails inquiring about employment, it's 10 times worse when they write back and say "Yeah, send us your stuff and let's schedule a sit-down"

Well, it was inevitable. When the dike is about to blow, there are only so many fingers that you can stuff in it before it bursts and gushes all over you anyway.

HAHA i believe that threadkiller is Rand, with a pipe wrench in the study.
i also love that juhls has her own meme now.
In other news, i just got off the phone with my client who submitted some stuff i edited for him to the Worldfest Film festival. i told him that only one or two things won. He's now calling them in disbelief and indignation. oh boy

It's relieving to see prospective clients/employees actually respond to my emails. Before, and when, i'm sending them i have this monstrous vision of them dismissing my communique and going on a killing spree as a result of having to read it.
However, 3 emails produced:
1 ok to send a demo
1 ok to send a demo and a request to set up a meeting
1 request for a phone conversationNot bad for a day's work
- well done, sloth!7point34
