I'm very charming if you put me one on one with someone who's interested in what I have to say. But put me in a social situation where someone doesn't directly want to talk to me and I become sipping-drink-bot. <br /><br />The general rule I'd like to keep to is to go out with no more than 3-4 people at once. More and it's just a mess. Add obnoxiously loud music on top of a large social gathering, and all my factoids about Nazis & the Occult are useless!!!!!!<br /><br /><br />Good job on turning someone on to "Awaken the Guardian". I can't see that doing harm to anyone.Helmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584102280299430293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076033512154958207.post-21831729762705732312011-02-20T19:31:01.800+02:002011-02-20T19:31:01.800+02:00Man, I'm a bit late on this, but yesterday was...Man, I'm a bit late on this, but yesterday was a good day for me. I entertained a friend of mine at my house and showed him some bands I thought he would like. I burned him a copy of Awaken the Guardian, and he said himself that he thinks it will change his approach to music. We'll have to see, but that really felt like an achievement. This is a friend who doesn't really know how to search for music, and who is sometimes easily satiated. The rest of the day was spent playing Assassin's Creed except for a supper with family, so there wasn't much in the way of personal education.<br /><br />I've certainly spent long hours perusing the internet, leap-frogging from factoid to factoid, pursuing concepts. It's really fun, and it's how I spent a good portion of my adolescence. Now, I'm always "that guy" who has a surface understanding of a wide variety of topics. It's useful in the context of house parties.Alex_Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640547412949387859noreply@blogger.com
