I thought she hated me! Here was this person who is SO talkative and cool online - but hardly would say anything when I was there. I was kinda scared (sorry Megan......I know better now though zoney -> ). Man, if Jenn wasn't there, I think it would be like this:
* zoney trying to think of something to talk about
zoney: so, working in D.C. must be cool!?
Meegannie: meh.
*long silence while zoney comes up with another conversation
zoney: What do you think of this whole Iraq thing?
Meegannie: meh.

meegannie said:Um....we're both Americans and I alredy have a British fiance. Oh, and also, we aren't lesbians.

being shy yourself or on the receiving end? I guess both, really. Guess you have to trust in that 'the best things are those you have to work hard for' motto, or whatever that saying is...ACROB@T said:

I'm REALLY nervous about making friends when I'm at Nottingham, and about hanging out with Sam's friends this summer.
My shyness tends to either come off as standoffishness (oooh, I like that word!) or just awkwardness and I look like a freak. Sometimes I'll be talking to someone I've just met and they'll give me this certain look and I KNOW it's because they think I'm either or the world's biggest loser

I think a very bad combination is when you make yourself fully aware of every word, and every movement your making when around others..over-analysing every detail can be incredibly uncomfortable in the long run. I know many people who are outgoing have that experience all the time as well but shyness is a great catalyst to make these experiences more amplified. You could just be talking to a new face at work and feel like your up for a job interview
I can imagine how daunting it must be at the moment with Nottingham coming up. I think it must be said that the majority of freshman are all in the same vote..even those who are very sociable and outgoing are going to be anxious about the weeks/months ahead so you'll all be sharing that to start with. I think you'll be fine Megan..it will be a good experience for you
My hair is still straight, acutally. That was just from when i dressed up as a guitar and had my hair in all these twists...I had it posted somewhere on here.... Anyway, so wait, you know some englishmen? available ones?? I'm all for being pimped out...dizzy said:at Jenn's new look, but
Maybe I should pimp Jenn to some blokes outside of London...or uh, my friend's husband's friends in Isle of Man. Eh, too far. Oh wait, my friend in Middlesex knows some available Englishmen.
Don't put that beauty to waste!!!
