Until you get me started with something - or I butt myself in somewhere - I can remain pretty quiet in general.Those who don't know me well enough often regret it when they loosen me up. Because when that happens, I can easily talk for a few hours straight. I drink far too little than I should (a human being is supposed to drink 2 liters, I drink about three - four glasses on an average spring day, less during the winter, more in the summer) so I don't really need any breaks. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />This only happens when I feel completely comfortable with my surroundings or the person I am talking to. I tried to make this something permanent, instead of constantly adjusting to my surroundings, which is something I am slowly learning, as it is related to my incosistent personality. Getting me drunk only increases the speed of adjusting me to the surroundings, not really affecting my personality. I don't start doing strange stuff. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />If possible, I'd ask you to come and start... whatever you do to a few (old)classmates of mine. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Though I would do it myself for those I met recently, there are some that know me too well now...I don't agree. When everyone knew me back in the time I was the most popular kid around, I was more unhappy than anything else. The attention is great to have for an amount of time, but when the attention doesn't cool down after a month of time but only increases, it starts to get quite annoying.Indeed, as he never came to the point. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />People don't know my name nowadays... even if they did, they wouldn't use it. I was quite surprised when a classmate of mine started to shout my name. My first reaction was therefore: "Since when did you start calling me that?" But then again, who is there to teach my name to the people who meet me? I introduce myself with 'Ed', teachers call me that and... well, those who do not use 'Ed', usually just avoid using a name in general. Yet I still remain with the question why my ex-boss called me 'Patrick' as there is no letter in that name that is similar to my real name. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Equal trade, I guess. When people talk to me a lot, I talk back just as well... though, I must admit it depends a bit on how it is. Only a few weeks ago, a certain guy came up and talked to me. It's not like we didn't know each other, we were old school mates from our last school. We were both friends of another friend, so we met each other. I was happy when I graduated and didn't have to see him anymore... I guess I was wrong.Not only did he talk for 15 minutes non-stop on a subject I could care less about, he also completely messed up my only-morning talk with someone I walk to school with. Though I guess the looks on both our faces (when we walked with that guy, and he kept talking) is something we won't forget easily. If our faces could be read, we would've said: "Shut up!" Darn... he was annoying.Therefore, he may "talk a lot" but he won't get much an answer of me. Out of respect I didn't want to say "get away from me/us," after all, it has been more than a year since we saw each other. ("I shouted your name several times before... but I guess you never heard me.") On the other hand, when you'd throw me in front of someone who is already quite spontaneous, but not as annoying as the one I just described, I'll reply just as much and friendly as the conversation fares.Refl3ction 14 - 15 years is a bit too young for my lik... err...</blockquote>
