Verbose.

..does not look like what you would picture(I look like a Young Republican lol, always dress in slacks, dress shoes, real shirts, belt, undershirt, etc.)

Well, you still the Dude.
I look nothing like Don Adams if it makes you feel better.

I know one thing they say--whether they've met me or not--"this guy likes weeeird music."

Is that who your avatar is? I thought it was a young Georgie Bush, trying to work out how to use the telephone! ;D

. . . quiet maybe?

Looks young for her age. People think my oldest daughter and I are sisters sometimes  :o

Ah! That's got to be good, Gemini. I've saw your piccys, I think you look . . . About early 30s (Fair assessment?)

That's Don Adams as Maxwell Smart in Get Smart!.  He's using the famous Maxwell Smart shoe-phone.  See, back in the 1960s, mobile phones were such a ridiculous idea only fictional spies of international intrigue had them...and parodies of said spies, as in Maxwell Smart's case.

Ah, thanks Max. I've never seen the show myself, so didn't understand. I still reckon he does look like a young GWB though...

...really is shy...

Look! He's hiding under the table...!!

..smells. I've just visited the smoking room at work- so smoky I didn't bother having a cigarette, just used a straw...

.....must go Commando ;)

WOW! Is he looking down my top?

I didn't realize she was so short. And she talks WAY too much.





Cat

...doesn't look ANYTHING like Johnny Hartman!

is REALLY young and scraggly looking!

has a love of the oldies music ;D


Howard

Ought to comb his hair

..smells. I've just visited the smoking room at work- so smoky I didn't bother having a cigarette, just used a straw...


LOL, that's too funny.

She is really stuck up! ::)

Everyone thinks that when they first meet me, I'm just an introvert. :)

Ought NOT to comb his hair so much.

WOW! Is he looking down my top?


LOL!!!!  ;D

. . . he is a great bloke - hopefully.  ;D

eye candy


Howard

eye candy


Ha ha! Good one, Howard.  ;D

Ha ha! Good one, Howard.  ;D



Thanks. ;D

WOW! Is he looking down my top?
if not, the mirrors on his shoes  ;D

is the total package, brains, beauty, and body!

Tanya

...she really ISN'T a b!tch ;D


I've never thought of you as being one  :)

WOW! she is sure short and hard on the ears!!

http://www.geocities.com/jtecollection/Joe_12.jpg

But my passion it won't slip away...Oh I'm not going crazy...

she really needs to lose a little weight

...really is shy...

I'm quite shy myself!

believe it or not, I am too.  If someone talks to me, I'll respond, but to make the first move and talk to someone I don't even know scares the bejeezus out of me, which is why people usually think I'm a b!tch. :P


That sounds similar to me.  I don't think of myself as shy and I'm not scared to talk to new people, I'm just uncomfortable with small talk.  I usually sit back and watch a group of people talk before I decide who I'm comfortable talking to.  Have you ever read about introversion and extroversion?

I don't see you as a b!tch :)  Maybe a bit angry sometimes but you have good reasons to be :)

-DR :)

...a finely tuned nut

has a love for wrestling ;D



Howard

.. is a Stallion!!!!  ;D

.. is a Stallion!!!!  ;D


You're a horse !?!  :o

Forget Mr Edd the talking horse, we've got Mr Apricot the typing horse.  ;D

;D Clever....


It's a song reference, for serious, though. I'm also using Stallion because I like the word, and Stallions are associated with being beautiful, powerful, unique animals. But you knew that.

not angry, just I'm always right ;) :D :D :D


:)

... she really is weird!  :D

does smile a lot  :)

They would say...WOW! she's really shy, weird, boring, and anti-social.  :)

Yeah, we studied it a bit in my Psych class last semester...I was about smack dab in the middle on the chart, with just a slight lean towards introversion ;)


Could be why you're uncomfortable talking to complete strangers.  I am very intoverted, makes life a little hard at times. ::)

I'm the same, it is hard sometimes. Yesterday, my boss at work was going round, trying to get volunteers to sing for charity in front of the department. Even though the audience would be people I know well, I still hid under my desk when she approached! As it turns out, most people were reluctant to volunteer, but whether this was due to introversion or a genuine lack of singing ability, I don't know. It turned out that the only people who did volunteer were known extroverts, who were willing to do it regardless of their perception of their own ability. Oh, to have such confidence!

Oooh, I know what you mean.  I was in the Air Force and they have award ceremonies and they make you get up in front of the whole squadron or the whole base.  I would be so nervous I would be shaking.  I just can't stand to have everyones attention all at once, and recognition embarrasses me.

Wow, he really is weird, eccentric, stylish, queer?, on drugs?
I always wear a fedora. Normally I wear eyeliner and sometimes I wear glitter on my face. I normally go for V-neck shirts. I wear long trousers and take the hem up so they are more like 3/4-full length pants. Sometimes I wear chains and charms. I like wearing contrasting colors. So if my shirt is white, by pants are black. If my shoes are brown, my socks are a very pale yellow. Armbands are a thinf for me aswell, but I don't wear them for fashion, I wear them for religious/beliefs purposes. The reason people might think I'm queer is because I'ma guy you wears eyeliner and glitter. I'm not really queer, I go for girls. The reason people might think I'm on drugs is because of the way I look. For some reason my eyes alwasy look like I've been sniffin some crazy stuff, but I don't take drugs, and I never have.

;D Clever....

Heh heh. I try to be.  ;)

I see. As crazymom pointed out, stallions are famous for other things too.  ;D

Now, see, what's really odd is that I had no problems doing plays & musicals in high school or cheering...even at Nationals.  It's the one-on-one stuff that gets me...


I know what you mean there.. I have played in front of 100's of people before over 2000 once.

Yet i don't say more than 2 words to most people unless i really get on with them. Even people i have known for a while, i will just answer there questions, i wont produce conversation.

Sometimes I think that confidence can be a learned behaviour.  At my kids school from year 1 they have school assemblies and each class has to do something.  They sing, act, play musical instruments, recite poetry -act as orators etc.  The first year my terribly shy eldest daughter would be practically vomitting on the days that her class was to lead the school assembly.  With encouragement from me, the teacher, the principal and friends, she eventually worked up the courage by the end of year 1 to be a "reporter" and pretend she was interviewing someone.  I told her pre-school teacher who was gob-smacked that Elizabeth at 6 years of age got up in front of the whole school and did it!  Over the years she has become more and more confident.  She never shirks when asked to do a reading in church (the thought of it still makes be break out in a cold sweat!)  One day our Parish Priest asked her if she would sing all the responses during the Mass which she did.
She is still basically a shy girl but she does possess a quiet kind of confidence.

has nice hair

Erin :)

If they met me I suspect they would say something like:

"Oh gees, I was right after all"  :(

;D

Now, see, what's really odd is that I had no problems doing plays & musicals in high school or cheering...even at Nationals.  It's the one-on-one stuff that gets me...

Again, I'm the same. I even used to do Amateur Dramatics as a teenager (I made a great god Apollo!), but it seems as I get older, I feel less comfortable in unknown social situations. I'm alright if I have to meet new people whom I can spend some time getting to know & vice versa, but even silly little things like having a conversation with a stranger in our smoking room induces hot flushes & sweaty palms in me...we've had lots of training courses at work recently, where we're mixed in with people from other area of the company, hell!

That could be that you are not acting as yourself in those situations.  You have a routine or an act, it's nothing personal.  I used to do briefings with 15-30 people.  The briefing would be the same information each time, twice a week.  It didn't make me nervous because I knew exactally what I needed to say. The weird thing is that I have an easier time talking to a room full of people I don't know than a room full of my peers.

Oh, don't you hate it in class when the teacher says to get in groups. :o :o  Help me!  That was the worst, I would be like, "Oh crap, who am I supposed to sit with.  I don't know any of these people."

Not as bad as..

"Right these are your groups."

yada yada yada..

"Err sir, who am i with?"

so and so.. so and so and so and so..

"and sir..."

Yes..

"who are they?"

LOL I had no idea, needless to say there was a lot of hostility in that group.

Yeah, I could see how that would be uncomfortable. ;D

Have you ever watched "The Office"?  For some reason every time I see Tim I always think that's what you would be like 8)

So I would  say "Oh gees, I was right after all... he really is a nice guy" (and besides PT has already told me that you are!  ;)

Probably several things - I admit, some stuff about me would fit my character, while others may not.

I'm right there with all of ya who have mentioned being shy in groups, etc. More often than not, I'm very social and friendly on the computer, but that's cause (a) you can edit what you say, and (b) there's always some "common ground" to talk about -- like a topic here, for instance. Unlike in real life, where you have to sometimes scramble for something to talk about and all.

WOW! he should take those headphones out

Yeah, you can choose who you want to talk to and what topic you want to talk about and at what pace you want to answer.
