It is nice how you can skip over conversations (threads) that you are not interested in, or slip away from people who bother you, when you are on-line.

Exactly. I mean, yes, one does need to learn to navigate a real life conversation with real physically present people. But in the world in which I live, I find it extremely difficult to find many people with whom I have much in common... on any level... In person.

I stand there at work all day in the cookie factory and have very little to say to the people around me it seems. It gets dull.

Yeah, definitely. If I am talking witha nyone at work, if there is some topic we actually start talking about either someone else says something really assholeish about something or someone, and I have to awkwardly sort of not respond at all, or I start talking people's ears off.

Mostly, I want to be able to say something that is conversation and not babble.

I mostly babble, I just have to find other people who babble similarly. And I do, to some extent, but I have trouble taking it beyond that, to a new context, etc.

I guess I should babble more, or make my own hangouts.

Yeah, you definitely should :P. I tend to keep to myself, though, since going out looking for other people is too often fruitless and depressing </3.

I usually bumble around for anyplace that looks interesting, or if anyone is familiar from another avatar forum. Even that takes a really long time to find posting places. I guess I will try making my own hangout, but I do recall how dead my menewsha hangout is. I hate to try to revive a thread when you are not supposed to spam.

Yeah, same. That's why i love the bump feature on Sol and Ern... don't know if the names are allowed here? IDK. Anyway, you know what I mean. That bump feature is awesome cause it allows me to keep a thread up without new posts, and then, sometimes, look! New posts!

Yup. The problem that I have on mene is that there is no bump button, so I'm not sure about reviving my thread until it has been over a month or two.

Yeah, and then ... Here, anywhere else, they just die all over again. So you end up with a series of posts... Oops :/.

Yeah. I try to avoid that. It looks kind of dumb, and makes me feel a bit lonesome.

I had to go get new sneakers, so I got rhinestone stickers to put on them as well since they were plain black.

That's cool, I love customizing stuff.

I thought that it was a sheet of individual rhinestone stickers, but it was all one big sticker of a rhinestone grid. So I cut some blocks of four stones each off of it and stuck them, pointed as diamond shapes, onto the toes of the sneakers. It turned out cute.

Oh, yeah, usually that's how they tend to come if they're not like, packaged individually in a little bag or something.
