I totally understand the phone thing, I can only handle a phone conversation with people I'm very intimate with (like my siblings), but a conversation with other people causes severe stress, even with people I've known for years. I'm not a very good conversationalist and I cannot stand the awkward silences which any sort of lag in the conversation brings about. The silence is deafening and makes me sweat profusely. I've made that clear to most people I hang out with and communicate whatever needs to be communicated with text messages except this one friend who continues to traumatize me every time she calls me on the phone on special occasions like Christmas and birthdays. *shudders*

Second thing is the handshake. Absolutely cannot stand the limp handshake but equally loath the overzealous firm handshake which some assholes tend to utilize as some sort of caveman gesture of establishing power and dominance. You absolutely can tell a lot about people from a handshake and I try to stay away from both.

A good, firm handshake is what's needed. Nothing too crazy but I also don't want to feel like I'm shaking a dead fish.

As for phone conversations, I love awkward pauses. Frequently I'll be talking to a friend and there will be 5 minute pauses where nobody says anything, but we're both still on the phone.

Wow, you're either exaggerating or you're just plum crazy. If you don't have anything to say to each other, hang up the fucking phone!

A combination of both I think... sometimes I just forget I'm on

Anyhow, I never considered myself freakishly tall, but 6'5'' would be around 2 meters I believe which is definitely the international giant demarcation line.

Conversations on the phone with my sister are so awkward.
There was this one time she called me for help with her homework and everything, and then we didn't know how to hang up.
So she was like, "Well... this is really awkward soooo, I'm going to hang up and go... do stuff."
It was horrible. xD

I know what you mean.
My friend and I used to stay on the phone all day and there would be REALLY long silences where we didn't talk, it was kind of like we were right next to each other.

I figure this would be a good way for people to get to know me...so I copied mine directly from facebook.

1. My favorite color is red and my least favorite is brown.

2.I like an incredible amount of nerdy stuff like anime and manga and comic books like Ultimate Spiderman and Deadpool.

3. I refuse to watch shows like House, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy, etc etc.

4. I get scared and surprised way too easily for my own good, yet continue to watch tons of horror movies.

5. I love to sing. I just hate doing it in front of most people.

6. I really like undergound techno music.

7. I still enjoy playing Pokemon handheld games A LOT. Seriously, they're incredibly fun.

8. I'M JEWISH OMG.

9. (inside joke)

10. I hate the complete lack of musical culture in my home town. There are very few people here who actually have an understanding of music culture and whatnot.

11. I say weird and random things to people I don't know and love it.

12. I'm a little too sensitive sometimes. Other times I'm the complete opposite.

13. I will punish you if you act all ****ing cool when the Watchmen/Scott Pilgrim movies come out and you jump on them like you know everything about them. I WAS INTO THIS **** BEFORE IT BECAME A ****ING TREND YOU *******

14. I am a jerk.

15. Well, I guess I can be really nice, too.

16. I am an ex-/b/tard.

17. I spend too much time on the computer.

18. I freakin' LOVE the smell of cinnamon and vanilla.

19. I think I get off on pain and horror. Not in a sexual way, but sometimes it's fun! Like careening off of a ramp made of ice and hitting the ground. Hard. That's fun!

20. Unlike a lot of teenage boys, I don't really give two ****s about shiny, pretty cars. I just want something that...goes.

21. I love all my close friends like family. I guess they don't always realize it, though.

22. I am kind of anti-government in a way...sort of. ANARCHYYYYYYY HAHAHAHAHA SHURR

23. I have a fuggin' sweet tooth.

24. Deadpool is AWESOME.

25. 42 IS THE ANSWER.

Why is everyone hating on House?

storymilo · 01-18-2010, 05:41 PM

I can't believe House just got compared to American Idol and Grey's Anatomy..... it is far far better than either of those.

Ha, don't get me wrong, I just kind of wrapped all those together. I tried watching House a couple times, but I just didn't get into it. But I can definitely say it's miles above crap like American Idol and Grey's Anatomy.

Also, I think my 25 facts thing was written almost a year ago, so...hmm.
