zimon66It was lack of sleep that caused yesterday's brief emotional outburst - usually I don't "open up" publicly like that and instead keep those sort of feelings to myself, but was really frazzled and it sorta of slipped out.
One of the bugaboos picking away at me yesterday had to do with having a chance at a social life outside of the computer. Basically it was a fear of for whatever reason getting rejected when I finally meet with some of the local Goths.
So far, haven't been able to go to the weekly meets at a coffee place due to work. Won't be until the end of the month that I can go to the coffee meet thanx to a rotating weekday off, which kinda sucks because would like to do it sooner. The only other option is maybe meeting one or two folk on one of my weekday's off for lunch or something before then. My sister and brother-in-law both have birthdays coming up in early March so I'm thinking of going to Boarders and looking at dvds as gifts - considering the 20th as the morning shopping day, guess I'll ask on the local message board if anybody would like to meet me there and hang out for awhile.

You might be suprised
Date: Feb. 6th, 2003 10:53 am (UTC)It is easy to get comfortable in our own space with the idea that interaction can consist of e-mail, message boards, and chat programs. I have had nights that a friend and I got drunk while chatting, and in some cold way, we were hanging out.
It had been a while since I had any type of regular life outside work when I moved to the area. Outings usually consisted of going to the Dawning (http://www.disrupted.org/~dawning/) to hang out or DJ on Saturdays. That was it... 4 hours a week... if I actually made it. I had friends there, many of which have LJs, and it was a way of "being part of life".
When I was forced to move, someting inside clicked. I decided to make sure I had a time for a social-life. I have been in town for less than a month, I drive from Carson to Reno an average of twice a week. I have helped friends move into a new apartment, we are starting a night here in town, we have coffee on Wed., we have moved beyond the box.
Post the invite to ez-board Zimon, even if it conflicts with work schedules and no one can make it... There are other days and other times that people can meet you to hang out.
If able and willing, consider coming to the Event at Club Voodoo - the "My Bloody Valentine" Ball will officially be from 10pm-4am, but there will be people there from about 7pm on setting up.
Come out and play Zimon - whether you realize it or not, your not being there is noticed and, inevitably, every week since you posted the question is asked - "Do you think Zimon will show?" It is the same for everybody who posts there - we need to grow the scene... and we'd love to meet you.
