Chat Thread 37: Diss Wants to Be Involved

holmebrian · Post by **holmebrian** » Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:21 am

only way i have a good conversation is if someone else starts it and they like to talk alot.
so usually stick to older guys that where engineers or have similar hobbys to me.

See, for me at least, it really isn't about the other person liking me or not. I have plenty of good friends already; it wouldn't hurt my feelings if someone I tried to talk to didn't really care to talk to me.

It's just that I rarely have anything to say. Unless someone else starts onto a topic that I'm passionate about for one reason or another, my mind just completely blanks out and I legitimately can't think of anything to say.

I can usually talk to most anyone once we get going but forced small talk has always been a problem for me, I often feel if I don't have anything to say then nothing need be said but when in a really social situation I feel obliged to talk. My other family members tend to be WAY better at it than me so it's a little disheartening.

However, I remember one lunch time my class got out early and most of the friends I used to sit with were in other classes except for one friend of one of my friends. I never talked to her but we both started lunch while we waited for everyone else and we started small talking. Somehow we got onto the topic of the Supernatural TV series which was new and on regularly back then and we found we both loved it. She's now one of my closest friends from school and one of the few I still hang out with regularly.

I'm good at small talk when I'm confident and don't feel like the other person is "above" me in any way. Sometimes fear gets the best of me is all.

I can be awful at talking to people.

Also, got back from Amazing Spider-man, it was good, the Stan Lee cameo was as good as ever, and after the credits, well, um, I sort of squeed, yes, out loud in a movie theater. I did have a couple problems with it, Peter seemed like a normal guy, not the nerdy guy he should be, and the last thing he said, oh God, how I hated that. If you've seen it you know what I mean, Peter has more honor than that! Otherwise, I like it more than the old Spider-man movie, plus the POV shots were stunning.

He was way too hot to be an unpopular nerd, anyway.

I don't remember the last line. Spoiler tag it?

i'm pretty good at small talk, only because my dad was really good at it and i guess it got passed down to me :/

Teacher "Don't make promises you can't keep"
Peter "But those are the best kind"

I have problem with ending a small talk... I know right moment to end it but I'm not good at ending it.

@Sleet You ain't No corgi sleet, since when did you became Sleet teh Corgi on steam?

Being a corgi isn't for everyone. xP

That's because you're no good at being one!

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:05 pm

The above is correct. You're just not the right kind of corgi~

Post by **Dissension** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:18 pm

Dare I ask what the "right" kind of corgi is?

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:21 pm

I daresay he's referring to the fact that his 'sona is a long-tailed corgi. XP

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:28 pm

He doesn't have the right mindset to be a corgi! That's why it wasn't satisfying.

And what's the right mindset? XP
I don't like being tiny, either. I'll keep my fox size~.

Daggy · Post by **Daggy** » Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:32 pm

Not that small! I'd be around the same size I am right now. You don't have to be small just because the breed is small irl

I'm not sure where I was going with that. I know you just don't have it. You have dat fox mindset. DUH.

Bahaha. The best part of this post is the fact that I've seen most of these videos already...Oh how I love my corgis. I really, really want one. Or any dog in general. But a corgi would be the preferred dog of choice.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:00 am

Just got done editing and uploading another audition on the Voice Actor proboard forum. :B

On the topic of corgis, I'd really love to get one. The plan at this point is to get one cat and one dog; I'm mostly a "cat person", so the breed of cat isn't particularly important, but I'm dead-set on getting a Pembroke Welsh corgi. They're just too dang cute in every conceivable way to not get one. :3

Sat Jul 14, 2012 12:03 am

I don't like "cute" dogs. I don't want a dog that I could pick up or accidentally step on. I like big dogs. Huskies are cool.

Post by **Sleet** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 3:41 am

Cute dogs are amazing. I have two Yorkies and I want a Pommy when I get my own house. <3

Also I'm not really a Corgi. I just did that because IJustWantLove asked me to and I luffs him.

McFly · Post by **McFly** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:06 am

I've always been a dog-person, so I don't really care about what kind of dog I get.

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:17 am

If I ever got a dog, it would be a full sized dog. I don't have anything against little dogs, but I would like something that I can't accidentally sit on.

That's what I'm talking about! Huskies are good sled dogs.

Cats are cute too folks. They are just little less snuggly than dogs.

@Jeff, I accidentally lay on my cat before...

No they aren't. (The snuggly part) You just need to get the right cat. I have one that is actually snuggly to the point of it being annoying.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:35 am

Our dogs have always been medium-y. Between 30 and 50 pounds about (one of them was 60 for a while but he was just fat, he wasn't a very big dog).

I'm sooo unlucky, I can't possibly think of snuggly being annoying. My cat is soooo independent.
Can't I just train her to be more snuggly?

JeffCvt · Post by **JeffCvt** » Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:45 am

Train a cat?
