WHAT I SAID
Confession time: I'm xenophobic. And I don't mean I'm afraid of creepy guy who hasn't seen soap, toothpaste or a razor in months and probably hasn't engaged in any act of hygiene in his entire life (though I am afraid of that guy. We all are). I mean like I'm afraid of anyone I pass on the sidewalk, even middle school girls. I kid you not, the first thought that goes through my head whenever I see anyone I don't know is, "can I take this guy/girl?" It's really very distracting, and it gets in the way of more pertinent things, like enjoying the natural beauty of a cookie-cutter neighborhood. And the fact that the answer to that question is usually "no" doesn't help. So if you say "hi" to a guy you don't know, and he suddenly screams and runs away, that guy might have been me.GAEM MAEKRI'm making a screensaver in GM. It's gonna be awesome. It'll also be customizable. It's a fireworks show sort of thing. It's better than it sounds.I don't know if I'm entering this big, cash-money prize YoYoGames contest yet or not. For one thing, I don't really like YoYoGames, and the contest's restrictions (no fullscreen? no resolution changing? honestly!) really chafe me. But those cash-money prizes sure are a temptation.(Yes, I know "cash-money" is not acceptable usage in any language, English least of all. But I think it's funny, and I know my rights.)ALSOI've taken to printing all my school assignments on lined paper. I started because I didn't have any normal paper, and now I can't stop.I think that will be all. Good day to you, sir. (Or madam, though I think that rather unlikely.)
@kikko - it can be either. And I like foreigners better than Americans for the most part, so in my case only one definition applies.
@Maxcore - get a life, moronhead.Irrational fears suck.
I'm afraid of bottles of cough syrup
^me too. The way they just sit there and stare at me, watching as I cough.
"Come on, Mike, you know you want a little…"I have a confession to make:
I'm Dr. Rockso, the Rock and Roll Clown, I do cocaine!^Grammar fail
How's that working for you in social or official situations? I wouldn't say I have a phobia like this, but sometimes I tend to get panicked when somebody "catches me unprepared" - say, an electricity bill guy ringing on the door or a bank lady jumping at me with a new credit card proposal when all I wanted was to check how's my account doing. And then I get all confused and start talking random nonsense like I have Broca's aphasia. :(
Also, if you're not American, what's the deal with the New-York-Timesian assery presented in your avatar?
