sporatic-isnt-actually-a-word:

There is a chance, however miniscule that chance might be, that you and I will meet. And because I’m a bit weird, today, I would like to prepare you for our potential meeting.

Broadly speaking, everybody on this planet can fit into two different personality types: Introverts, and extroverts.
Extroverts - The kind of people who get their ‘energy’ from being around others, from being social. While introverts are the kind of people who recharge from being with themselves. By spending time, alone.

The society that we live in is one that, from my mind, tends to favour people who are extroverted. And so I think it’s pretty normal for people, when hearing the term ‘introvert’, to make a certain number of assumptions.

For example, that introverts don’t like people, that they like to spend all their time alone, that they don’t know how to communicate. They are rude. That they don’t know how to have fun. The list just goes on.. And I don’t blame people for making those kind of assumptions about introverts, ‘cos that’s just the world that we live in. 

But, if we are going to meet I would feel pretty bad if you went away thinking any of those things about me. So here’s the truth. The truth! About introverts… Specifically, me.

If, when we meet, I seem a bit quiet. It’s not because I don’t want to talk to you, it’s just as an introvert I only ever feel the urge to say words if I feel I actually have something valuable to add to a conversation. 

I would love to talk to you! I’m just not very good at… intiating conversation.

So it’s probably safe that you be the first person to say something to me. And you bring up a topic that’s actually important. I can’t talk for very long about the weather. But ask me about music and I will not be able to shut up.

On the topic of talking, in a controlled scenario, like this. Where I can take the time to think about what it is that I want to say, and prepare it. I like to consider myself as being quite a good communicator. But if you press me for an opinion that I haven’t had a chance to think about yet, I will inevitably flounder. I will miss words out of sentences, mix them up, stutter and sometimes even give opinions that I don’t necessarily agree with, just so I can have something come out of my mouth. So sorry if I don’t make sense sometimes. I’m trying to get in the habit of, when I’m in a conversation, pausing and thinking about what it is I want to say before I say it. But I haven’t quite got the hang of it just yet…

With all of this stuff really, there’s no easy way to try and fix any of it. It’s just how my brain is wired. In fact, I think one of the worst things that people can suggest, is that I have something wrong with me and need to adjust my personality to be more like an extroverted person.

I like being introverted. I like being quiet. I like being thoughtful. I like spending time on my own. And I would hope that if we do meet, you would accept me for that - social awkwardness included.

STORY OF MY LIFE!!! Thank you Charlie, for externalize my thoughts :) 

I’m here to write down a promise I made to myself today. If I get a grade enough to make it through the semester I will try my best not to be rude to anyone and answer them politely, use less sarcasm and irony, and try as hard as I can to be nice and gentle to people, no matter how annoying they are.

I’m already regretting it, but…

Game prep:

Arrange the cans of beer around the bottle of rum. The cans are Pawns of the Secret Order, the rum is the King, and the arrangement is called the Castle.

Decide on 4 Zones, and arrange platforms ( chairs, buckets, anything ) in patterns through them. The 5th Zone is the Zone with the castle. You must follow the chair path through the zones.

You can do team play or free for all play. If you choose free for all, chanting is then done in a set layer rotation. If you choose team play, only one person on your team has to reach the finish. Chanting in teams is done team rotation, with team members swapping the chant.

To choose teams, count down from 3, and on 0 raise your right hand to your forehead, displaying a number from 1 to 5. Anyone with the same number is on your team.

To start, someone shotguns a beer. This person chants first.

Gameplay:

Someone yells “1, 2, 3, 4 JFK”. Everyone else yells “FDR”, drinks, and gets off the floor. The floor is now lava. Stepping into it causes you to lose. You can start at the beginning of the Zone you are in, or choose to sit out. If you choose to sit out, you start over from Zone 1 if you decide to rejoin.

If everyone is standing, no one is drinking or moving, the player who is next to chant may chant the name of 2 presidents. If you know something in common between the 2, you may chant it back and drink ( an example would be chanting “Abe Lincoln, George Washington” and having everyone yell back “Cherry tree”. Anyone who yelled back can now drink ). If you don’t know anything in common, you don’t get to drink. The chanter always drinks.

Players can also chant “1, 2, 3”. If this happens, do the number selection again. If your number is alone, you get to drink and move forward. If your number has partners, you don’t drink or move.

The third option is chanting “JFK” and everyone else chants “FDR” and drinks. No moving forward, unless you finish your drink.

You also get to move forward when you finish your drink.

Empty cans are all tossed to the same Zone. This is to keep the area somewhat clean. If someone throws a can into the wrong Zone, go back to the beginning of the Zone that player is in. You can use a bin as a target. Cans do NOT have to go in.

If you reach the King, you have to take a drink from the King to win. If you can’t, go back to the beginning of your Zone.

If you don’t know presidents well, you can any two things.

If you move or drink when you’re not supposed to, you go back to the beginning of the Zone you’re in.

Players are encouraged to lie to each other. Good luck and have fun.

Add your input! What do you think?

YES! I was JUST saying that I want to play this game!

When he says your name in a romantic sentence and then you realize that it was not you he was talking about.
