Just Me 1

People might find me too serious about things. In the office, some of my friends there would take my attention, telling me that I'm the only one still looking at my computer screen, doing work while they're laughing about a joke or a funny story from a co-worker. My PW Team would sometimes tell me that "even when you're playing as a normal character, you still sound like a GM". Now that I think about it, it's true. :D Haha, I guess this is just how I am.

But the truth is that I'm just as interested in those funny stories and being silly and playing normally (well, it's more of "speaking casually") as anyone else around me. I'm trying to be a bit more open to other people by telling them what I think about certain things: being a bit more talkative about my work to my parents, and actually enjoying it, for one thing. During my weekend post, I try to bring JadeNight with me for a quick walk around the block towards the 711 or Ministop around the corner, grabbing some drinks or food and chatting about things as we walked. I do enjoy these things.

Although some might think I'm anti-social or unresponsive, I suppose there's still this part of me that looks very open. I still get to think that because more often than not, many people still take the initiative to talk to me when I get to serious about the things I'm dealing with. Perhaps it's a sense of profoundness that they get when I talk sometimes, or maybe it's just based on a loose form of trust. In any case, I am thankful for that.

As for dealing with girls, well, lets just say that I don't like courting anymore. I'd rather show who I really am in the beginning, than get caught up in a "lie" later on, and get in trouble. No special treatment for them, but sometimes I can't resist being a gentleman. Weakness? I don't know.

Hi po. Nathaniel po, friend nila Chiara. Several months ago, in LASARET, we were asked about our biggest question in life. I'd like to know po if your answer to that question... changed.

Hello Nathaniel, thanks for dropping by.

I'm the kind of person who always keeps an open mind when it comes to new things.

To be honest with you, I can't remember what that question is anymore, so I can't answer your question accurately. Could you enlighten me please?

Nathaniel said...

Hi. Can't remember it either, hahaha. My question didn't change though.

I must confess that a friend of mine talked to me about you.

They thought you were 'impassive' that you don't laugh at all when everyone else is laughing already.

You were full of life when we played Nexus War, (and talked about possibilities of making a role-playing section in CC, which failed because we didn't have players).

But recently, I have to admit that there were times I felt you really were... lacking emotions. XD

Perhaps it's because I know little about you, or we have little to talk about. ^__^;

Nathaniel: Hahaha! Oh well, so much for that. I think what matters when answering important questions about our lives is that we remain open to change.

Samantha: I always keep a formal facade with my other avatar (which you know), so I can't blame you if you think that way. Haha.

As far as NW goes, I think it's more of I'm in other windows, so I don't really get to read chat 100% of the time.

Samantha said...

Nah, the CC guys think you're very friendly. :) (Sherry and Ilyandir scandal in the elevator!) Even I don't get to read chat 100% of the time.

'They' means the people you worked with with your other avatar (which I know). ^______^
