So when I'm talking to biomedical science students etc, they're like "So what do you, draw and stuff?"
I was always more of a graphic designer anyway.

It's a cruel world... I was recently talking to a girl online who said she'd like to see my artwork... I sent her a link to my cartoon website.

Online dating is often like that though - people tend to have a lot of contacts on the go and they aren't necessarily faithful to each one individually.

I've met a few genuinely nice people from online and some of them have stayed good friends
but in terms of expanding my social circle my problem is I don't drink which has a surprising knock-on effect to socialising - I tell people I don't drink and they look at me as if I'd just told them I don't breathe... :-/

I had exactly the same problem socialising, people just don't want to know, and it made dating difficult too, as in there is no "Oh pop round tonight and we'll watch a video and have a bottle of wine, and pretend we got so drunk we accidently slept together"

When you're young you're almost blackmailed to go clubbing/get wasted - and if you don't, you're ostracised.
But if you want to meet people there doesn't seem to be any reasonable alternative... I tend to bounce from house party to house party, seems more enjoyable :)

The presure I got from friends I'd previously drunk with was incredible...

That all fell through when she was convinced she was born a guy, drew a beard on her face (with permanent marker) and posted pictures all over Facebook.
Don't get me wrong, she was a very nice person... just... weird.

Coincidentally, about 6 years ago I had an msn buddy from Texas called Candace Winklevoss (honestly!) who was a photographer and occasionally she sent me wav files as greetings
I so have to stitch them together into a dance track or something, it'd be epic :)
"So Robby, we should go take some pictures and thennnn... go rock out werewolf style aaaaaaaand.... yeah! That's what ah got!"

It's all quite a shame, because I got on really well with her, but... yeah, she's a bit of a loose cannon. I guess I just attract that kind. XD

When they're 'up' they're a joy to talk to, but when they're 'down' it can be *really* hard work...

If I even seemed a little bit uninterested (and believe me, I wanted to help), she'd throw a hissy-fit and disappear for a while.

One of my favourite sound files from her is "I'm just gonna eat a chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell because it's so A-A-A-A-AMAZING!!!" like an infomercial :) Curse my lack of sound-editing skills!
