Your avatar is beeping flirtatiously at me. How do I respond without leading it on?
Accept the compliment, but be upfront about your interest. "Thank you so much, but I'm not interested in you like that."
(HAAAA!)
Have you considered asking me questions to resolve your boredom? (see
https://www.halforums.com/threads/ama-three-word-edition.31813/ )
Yes! But I generally feel stupid when I post on here, so I avoid posting if I can.
What inside jokes or puns do you have at work or with one or more co-workers?
Unfortunately zero. My job is pretty isolated and I barely interact with anyone, so I don't get to have a rapport/get to joke around with them.
When does Nate start his job (or has he already begun)?
It's already started!
He started on Monday, so he made it through his first week at the new job. Yay!!
Does that mean you're stuck there for two years while he builds his resume, or are you moving for this job?
Yep, pretty much. Unless we could find someone in California that would hire him. I'm actually really heart broken that we have to stay here. It's just..incredibly frustrating. Nope, not moving for this job, it's even within walking distance of our house, just like his last job. So, here we stay.
When you're out running and you see another runner approaching from the opposite direction, how do you act/react?
First I make sure I'm not in their path, I move to the left or right, whichever gets me out of their way. And then as we pass, I do a smile and wave, sometimes with a head nod too. In my mind I always say encouraging things to them as well. =^^=
What is something you want to do, but haven't due only to worry/anxiety/etc?
Oh, a lot of things. A lot of it deals with being social. I have some intense social anxiety, so that keeps me from creating strong bonds with many people and keeps me home a lot of nights. I even have anxiety from here, so I post not a lot. Uh, and of course, cosplay. There are many characters I love and adore, but because I'm not in the best physical shape, I CANNOT (I can actually, I just tell myself I can't) cosplay them because with my body the way it is, I won't do the character justice. And then a big one - applying for school. I've told people I'm going to do it and I have started gathering everything I need to do so, but I just can't. I want to go to school so bad. SO BAD. But I just can't. There's a lot of things about that whole process that worry me to an extreme degree.
