Scott, why did you quote me? Rym isn't emotionally vacant. He is, however, quite sexy.
He tried to put an image there as a response, but it didn't show up. Amazon did not cooperate. Instead, he made it look like he was QFTing, providing us with fodder for the ScrymGay thread.
Knows the effect of each different color of Kryptonite
Prove it.
Green Kryptonite - Most common, makes Kryptonians ill, and can cause death. Risk of cancer to Humans. Can strengthen Bizarro and Ultra Man. Red Kryptonite - Unpredictable physical alterations.
Gold Kryptonite - Permanently removes powers, can cause death.
I think I need to update this due to recent events. Updates in Bold.

Nah, it's a new issue. I had a client who is usually okay but told me to piss off last night when I called about the money he owed me for fixing his computer.

I'm using Otakon to work on my shyness when talking with people I admire or think is awesome. If it backfires and I suck well then to the fail thread I go.
Pretty much the same as you: confront them head on. By the by, Toastmasters is a great way to overcome shyness. I was an unofficial member (not old enough at the time) of the Providence chapter for 2 years. It really helped me with my speaking ability and shyness!
At any rate, I don't really see you as shy, Viga. You are quite loud and funny once you loosen up.
That's good. Though I'll bet that has a lot to do with the people she's talking to. I used to be painfully shy, and even then, there would always be certain people I would meet who I would immediately feel comfortable around.
You did toastmasters too! That was fun when I was young! But that got me over performance anxiety when I was a kid. That and many performances.
Yeah, it's the people I'm talking to mostly. I do have to loosen up more. Tee hee, at clubs after a few I'm too loosened up. :P
I have got to return to the east coast at some point and go clubbing with you. I imagine it would be awesome. Similarly, you should come over here sometime. The clubs here are fun, there are tons of karaoke places, and Sail is a pretty cool dude. I also have my own posse, which, while harder to get together as a unit, are pretty awesome dude/ettes.
As for getting nervous about who you are talking to, just be cool. Be cool. Remember that its likely that those people have people they are nervous about talking to as well.

What things do you do to solve your weaknesses?
You seemed to be very open when we hung out at last year's Otakon, not shy at all. Does this mean that you don't admire me or think I'm awesome?

No crying in corners! *blows up all corners* Of course I think you're awesome dude!

There's some cool places in D.C. as long you don't mind the goth scene. Those are my usual hang outs. Plus, some clubs to catch different bands. I found a lot of cool that way and a lot of crap.
