o\/` Dishwalla – Counting Blue Cars o\/`<\/p>\n
Do I take IRC seriously? Sure. More seriously than a lot of people? Sure. Too seriously? No.<\/p>\n
I think it’s difficult for some people to understand the position I am currently in socially. I’m not a hermit, I’d go crazy if I didn’t have some sort of social interaction. There is only one person I see and interact with daily (Myk) and if I depended on him for all my social needs we’d both go crazy. What about real life friends? While I do have a couple people from “real life” that I’d consider friends, only one of them I honestly trust with telling most of what I feel. I don’t have any friends here with me near philly who have been my friends for longer than a year. I’ve been moving since I was 17…:<\/p>\n
4 years, 3 states, 6 towns (all 45+ minutes apart), 7 separate homes. It makes it near impossible to keep friends from these places. So two years ago, when I moved here to North Wales, I only had Myk. Without a car, a job or school it’s been impossible for me to meet people outside the circle of Myk’s current friends. I don’t mind that, I love Myk’s friends, and I’ve become friends with a few of them. But I don’t have that long time friendship with anyone here that creates a solid base for closeness.<\/p>\n On IRC I do have a few friends of this sort. I’ve known Peacimowen<\/a>, Bamwv<\/a>, and Tsukiyo<\/a> for almost *5* years now. The only person I still communicate with who has been my friend longer is Leslie<\/a> who I’ve known since first grade. I also use IRC as a means of communicating with real life people that I know.<\/p>\n When it comes down to it, my social world right now centers around IRC. It’s probably sad, but I’m happy, and I don’t think I drive Myk *too* crazy with wanting to go out and see friends. It’s worked out great for me. So of course I take the things seriously. And I do spend a lot of time on IRC, popping in throughout ever day while working on projects and writing things, dropping in for conversations with people.<\/p>\n I took things with #deep13 seriously, and I decided to leave because it wasn’t comfortable for me anymore. I’ve spoken to many of the members since leaving, letting them know why and they all understand. I spoke to NegaWeapon today and he said “Yep. Sounds about right. ‘sides, you’re not officially a Deep13er until you’ve declared yourself no longer a Deep13er at least once.” *grin* Well, I suppose I’m right on schedule then, I’ll probably give it a chance again someday in the future. For now I will just concentrate on the other channels I’m in. I’m happy, no need to complicate my life further with the craziness of that place.<\/p>\n I’ve been working on all sorts of little things today. Now I am going to go do some more %) *wanders off*<\/p>\n <\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" o\/` Dishwalla – Counting Blue Cars o\/` Do I take IRC seriously? Sure.
