08.02.04 (3:57 pm) [edit]Quote of the day: SheSpecies - dont be so critical or yourself
that is one of the best encouragements anyone has given me for ages. thanks!!!
and on that note i will stop trying to psychoanalyse me, myself or I (lol ;) ). this blog is made for more than that and i am more than that.
Signed: (Virtually) ME
i had a great time chatting on tBlurt this morning/arvo to people such as rinna, SheSpecies, lefty201, antipodean and BeaconSpider
i would like to put forward BeaconSpider as a person we should all encourage in his time of need. go on!!! you know you want to.. he wants his girl back and from what he says he deserves it too.
on other topics... i actually watched something without realising it for a few minutes last night... something i know a few people will encourage me to do more often but most likely wont succeed. yes... thats it... i watched part of Pride and Prejudice.. well it was on tv... and i was flipping around being bored and i ended up on the ABC and there was a scene with some ancient english dressed up people and some of them were dancing and others were just off to the side. what did intrigue me was one person who had a really funny look on his face... its actually a look i have regularly when i am intrigued by something but want other people to think i am disinterested (yes, it happens, some things are just sooooo boorinnnggggggg. if you know what i mean ;) ) anyway, the guy was pretty cool so i kept watching thinking something might become of it. anyway, my sis walks in and says, ooohhh... isn't that... umm... Pride and Prejudice... and i am like... i wouldn't know... i haven't watched it before. hehe... well i got a bit of a shock when it was... maybe its not so evil.. some of these romance things are good when you think exactly like one of the people, ie... mr darcy in this case. i dont quite have his wit but i do think as much as him.
taking the comparison further... is it just me or do girls actually like that. i hadn't noticed. whenever i do it they just ignore me... am i scary?? i dont want to think that i am that scary. i know i can stare at people and they get a bit scared. its the people who i cant stare at that i am best friends with though. i just cant keep a straight face around some people. i mean, i can but its hard and not worth the effort so i just smile. i guess i do smile alot and i am more relaxed than he is most of the time. mmm... i guess i should keep on going how i am. i would like to be more upfront with people i dont know, like with getting to know them.. but i dont know what to say most of the time and ughhhh i even bawk at being able to talk about it full stop... ahhh... anyway... im finished
onto other things, i can talk on a lot of topics. is that a problem... should i focus more on one thing, like sport or something... lol... i know that will get a reaction from some people.. like freak hehe. nah, im not that sports mad. i follow most australian sports. Cricket, NRL, Rugby, AFL, Swimming, Cycling, Triathlon..
well, i might actually be looking for answers in the wrong places.
as everyone says, people are complex creatures, you learn by experience. have to keep reminding myself of that one.

Ansell, you should just be yourself. I mean, then you aren't trying to be something you are not (duh!!) and when a girl falls in love with you it will be with you and not someone you were trying to be.

so arguing is a bad thing... i always thought that was what brought people together.
nah... seriously... i dont try to pick arguments with people for the sake of it. lots of people like to "discuss" certain topics such as politics or the weather and i like those kind of discussions

Yes, pschoanalizing yourself is not always a good thing when it's overdone. Just be happy with who you are and love yourself for that because all of your friends love you for who you are!!! Glad to know you are feeling a bit better.

Oh Peter Ansell. What a discovery, you litle gem you. Several things jump out at me inthe post and that NEVER happens. I stopped here tonight because I wantted to simply compliment you on something I saw on tblurt just a few minutes ago. I found your support of this Beacon person quite kind and I got a real kick out of your choice of wording going a bit lost on your audience and you so very gracefully and casually shifted gears. Well done. And here you are referencing this poor guy who is clearly in need of a good old dose of self esteem. You are kindly. But wait! There's more! Out of nowhere... BAM!!!!! My book, my story, my movie, my favorite. I can quote that movie till I turn blue and quote it some more. Pride and Prejudice. Oh where do I start. It is not simply a romance, it is an amazing tale of developed side characters, of life in taht age in England, a glorious look at the way things were. And the chemistry and electricity between Lizzie and Darcy - it's absolutely timeless! I had my ex hooked on it for years and years, much to his chagrin and then later acceptance. But wait! There's more! That you ramble is priceless! Yes, I said you ramble. You go from one subject to the next, to the next as smoothly and as often as you please. Finally. Someone who does this too. Your comment on my scary post didn't quite do you justice. I didn't click on you tht day, I don't think, but then... I wasn't supposed to until today. I will be swimming in Ansell land often. Thank you for a wonderful post.

about the beaver thing... i found out a bit more of his story today from a few people who know him. turns out he is 23 and chasing a 16 year old who doesn't want him near her. neways... cant go back on what i said.
about *That Story* hehehe.. i haven't been into it before but it was GREAT!!! gotta get the book or watch it sometime (possibly more than once), then i will have something to ramble about.
rambling is great though. i can link me getting over my larnygitis (sp?) to Pride and Prejudice just by saying its all rambling.
thanks for the encouragement!! i will make sure i check up on yours regularly too.

an extra comment on what you said about switching gears so smoothly.
i am a computer tutor at my university. it can get hard sometimes and you have to have a mountain of patience. you also have to be receptive to what stage people are at. if you think that they are struggling its no use continuing on that track. you have to make it seem like they are suddenly understanding by making it easier to follow. i dont really like dumbing things down if people know what i am saying though. this blog isn't really dumbed down so it could be hard.
i dont mean any offence to any of my readers at all by this. just ask if you want confirmation of a point. or get on and instant messenger and talk to me about it.
on that note.. i dont want too much info on this site so ask for my IM details if you want them.
