VEGANGELICA

I think we'd get along well, too, s_k, because you *are* direct and often seem unperturbed by people's views, not needing their approval. I don't get feisty and riled up too often, so chances are I wouldn't trigger your angry side. Plus I can glower and be pessimistic, too, so we could be uncheery together...

...when we aren't being obscenely pleasant to each other, that is!

I admit I have always thought of you as being very cheery on MB, and I think that quality in you is sweet. But I know from knowing myself that cheeriness doesn't mean a person is a shallow veneer of happiness without discontent or serious frustrations and disappointments. One can be both cheery and wrestle with troubling issues. This doesn't mean the cheeriness is a facade...just that a person can have more feelings than simply cheeriness.

I like that you seem very welcoming, such as when you offered us MBers that lovely tour of your cool garage-home. You seem to enjoy connecting with people, and I relate to that. I didn't realize you hate the world, life, and the way people behave, s_k. What do you hate most about them?



Being thought of as having unique views and looking kinda geeky is very flattering, Il Duce.

Not meaning to flatter *you*, but it is actually true that I've enjoyed reading your posts quite a bit and will go to them when I notice a new post by you. One thing I like about your posts is that you actually communicate back and forth with people on the boards, even in the music section. So I think you read and listen to what other people are listening to and then you respond, rather than only sharing the music you're interested in. You seem to be affected in a positive way by people and genuinely enjoy interacting with them.

Plus, you seem very open about yourself. Your opinions about your home country and life there are always interesting to read, too. *And* you have a sense of humor.

Ha ha! That made me chuckle.
