Roll Call

Button5807 · April 2010

If those buttons don't suite the other list nerds you can always just wear the bad loud and proud.

Paige you're my favorite Canadia so you know I'll make whatever button your little maple leaf shaped heart desires.

PaigeMcC · April 2010

Awww! Thanks Button

I just tried to picture my maple leaf heart and it may or may not have made me snort. (Let's go with "it may")

And on that note - my work day is over...and my lists and I are going home! haha

I agree, it actually *is* incredible. Of course, it's not like a perpetual vacation since I do have a life here, but it is pretty neat, although I do miss new york city nights sometimes.

Button5807 · April 2010

Jeana I cheated and checked facebook to double check BFs age lol

jeanacorina · April 2010

He might be turning 25 next month. Maybe. I'm just not all that sure.

He's the same age as my brother. How weird is that?

Button5807 · April 2010

I don't think it's that weird, my dad is 2 years younger than my mom and was her little brothers best friend growing up.

Narwhal · April 2010

Omg! My first button!

*runs to put it in sig*

hetshup · April 2010

Jeana- Totally serious question. If Josh is so shy and doesn't like to be around people that he doesn't know, how is sales a good idea? Don't you think that will stress him out? I am genuinely curious.

Button5807 · April 2010

Hetshup - I know I can't speak for Josh but in my situation I am so painfully shy at times that it's almost a handicap. I would rather starve than call the chinese/pizza delivery place. But all day long I am on the phone making/receiving calls to strangers. I've always been like this, if it's my job I can do it, if not oh hell no.

Button5807 · April 2010

and because Jeana reminded me what I meant to do yesterday:

Interesting fact about yourself:

jeanacorina · April 2010

Uhh, that's actually a good question. It never seemed odd to me. I'll see if I can explain:

He doesn't like to be around people and he HATES crowds. I think he gets this because his parents are the same way. They think anyone they don't know is potentially a serial killer or stalker or weirdo, and they don't make new friends... like, ever. They have the same friends they've had for years.

Josh FORGETS that he DOES have friends other than the 2 guys he's known since high school. He'll say he doesn't have any friends here, and I'm like "What about A, B, and C? And even D!" and he's like "Oh, yeah. I guess they are friends."

But he doesn't like to get close to people, he doesn't like to tell anyone anything about himself, and he doesn't want to give too much away. It's really like a "strangers are bad" complex.

However, when Josh actually RELAXES and opens up, he is probably the nicest, most likeable guy you'd ever meet. When he's with his old buddies and other people he's comfortable with, he is genuinely goofy and happy and very open.

He can fake that when he wants to. And it's pretty convincing. As long as he keeps the conversation on business, he is very capable of working with people to achieve something... whether it's a sale or finishing a project or whatever.

Honestly, I don't know. He likes sales. He's worked retail, and he still wants to do sales....

Apparently for him people are just a completely different animal when it's business vs. personal.

Narwhal · April 2010

BF is the same way, Jeana. He always says "I don't have any friends." and then I list some off and he's like "Oh yeah..."

But then when they want to hang out with him, he always comes up with an excuse. Haven't figured that one out yet. Not far along in my psychology degree to diagnose him.

KD+BC · April 2010

Wow, I had a major issue with a student today and didn't get a change to check these in the lab or on my lunch. Holy awesomeness! I learned so much about you all!!!

Same as mine. Ugh, it drives me crazy. Friends invite us out, and his first question is "Where are they going?" like, if he doesn't like the place he just won't go.

THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS. Not just MINE, but his too!

Yeah FI used to do this A LOT. In his case it was because his ex used to pitch a fit when he went out without her. It took me a while (like 2 years) to let him know that I was okay with it.

mrs.rab · April 2010

What does your SN mean? A mix of my first name (although not spelled with a K), my middle name and the date of my birthday.

Interesting fact about yourself: I am actually a pretty good knitter and am seriously thinking about starting my own Knitting Circle.

loopy82 · April 2010

My FI is quite the opposite of a few of your SO's. Since he is in car sales he is talking to people all day. When we go out places he fairly consistently will drum up converstaions with waiters/bartenders/strangers. I don't get it. I don't really talk to people unless I have to.

A few years ago I was the outspoken crazy one of the group. Now, in recent years I have developed almost an anxiety about being around people where I don't know anyone. I would rather miss out on something then to go to something where I would only have 1 friend there.

Narwhal · April 2010

BF's problem that really frustrates me sometimes is that he won't be willing to do something that isn't very exciting (like hang out at someone's house and play games) just for the sake of the friendship, but then he gets sad when his friends stop asking him to come over.

Silly boy. I love him anyway.

jgcohn · April 2010

What does your SN mean? it has to do with my name

Name we refer to you as/should refer to you as: jgc or Jennifer

Interesting fact about yourself: lets see....I did gymnastics for 15 years and I studied abroad in Morocco so I speak French and a littleeeee bit of Arabic

What does your SN mean? Its my name and the last part is just random
Name we refer to you as/should refer to you as: Beth is good

Age of SO: 20
Where you live: I just moved to Colorado a few months ago and I LOVE it!

NEY, engaged, married: NEY and it will probably be a few years before it happens because we decided we will want a short engagement. My friend is in the 2nd year of her engagement and I just don't think its for me. We both want to finnish school and have jobs before we get engaged. I have lots of friends getting married right now though.
What do you do for a living/studying in school: I am majoring in Organizational Communications with a minor in Public Relations.
What your SO does for a living/studying in school: My bf is a biology major. He is probably going to go to grad school so thats a big part of the reason that we are going to wait a longish time to get engaged/married.
Interesting fact about yourself: I was almost kidnapped when I was 5 or 6, thanksfully my friend Sam started screaming and my mom came outside and the guy drove off really fast.

KD+BC · April 2010

Haha, yeah I was curious if we knew each other! Saying you're from Syracuse when you lived in Liverpool isn't bad. When I was a freshman in college, a girl and I were talking and I asked where she said she was from Syracuse so I asked her which part and she said, "Lowville." I was shocked. Lowville is like an hour and a half north!

I do teach in the city. I love it! I started out as a sub and it was hell. I did all grades and all subjects, Pre-K to 12. It has worked out so far though! I teach 1st grade at a great school. As long as the budget comes through, I'll be set!

PaigeMcC · April 2010

Beth - that is terrifying!!! Thankfully you`re okay!

Jeana- the more I hear about Josh the more he reminds me of Dan. The whole description could be copied and pasted for him. Totally long lost twins.

zipis1 · April 2010

What does your SN mean?
My favorite Beanie Baby was Zip. My first email was when I was like...11, when the things were still popular. My mom wanted me to have it be "Zipis#1" since Zip was taken, buuuut you couldn't have the # in there. Thus, zipis1 (zip_is_1). And I've just stuck with it

What your SO does for a living/studying in school:

ekathleen684 · April 2010

Beth- Thats so scary!

I'm also a team captain for a huge city wide project that my church is involved in and a regular volunteer at the kid's club at church.
