View Full Version : the internet has ruined my social skills OR improved them, you be the judge.

oh, hi.

last night I went over to my friend's house and we were supposed to watch some t.v., but I get there and he's like, "yeah, my roommate decided to have friends over. they're making food and gonna watch a movie". we got some beers and hung on the porch for awhile, and I was going to leave, but he made me come in.

so, there I am, in the middle of a fucking dinner party basically. the dude who made the food was Australian and pretty hot. kinda shy. the rest of the people there were annoying as fuck. they literally talked about dog breeds for 15 minutes straight without even knowing any specific facts.

me, my friend and the australian were the only people not cackling wildly at every unfunny joke spewed out. then this one awful chick started trying to figure out the title of a movie with Jeremy Irons in it, and I said, "is it 3 men and a baby?" she didn't find that charming at all.

then, she decided to announce to everyone the hilarious text she got from her brother, it said, "mom knows what 96 is". and then was like, "omg, what does that mean? oh, could he mean 69? oh my gosh, that is so funny....blah blah blah blah". and I said "she probably knows what it is from personal experience". she didn't like that at all. the boys snickered though.

I suffered through an hour of the movie with almost constant chatter. jokes that weren't jokes, inane commentary. then I got up and snuck out the door. my friend followed me out and we complained about everyone on the lawn. then he decided to not even go back and to work in the garage instead. (y)



in other news, my roommate wants to get a bunch of girls together and have wine and girl talk. but I don't wanna. we just had some of that on tuesday. it's all just going to be the same things repeated to death. ugh. I think I've come to the point where I've talked about boys enough in my life and on here that there's nothing left to say. :/

reading through that, I think the internet is at fault, but I don't blame it.

meaning, I had more fun being an asshole than if I'd just sat there saying nothing. also, I got to eat free food.

I said something funny during the movie too, some of the dudes laughed. the girls there were just vacant.

it's just that we've spoilt you. real life pales in comparison to us.

As you get older, people only come to grow more annoying. It's tougher to avoid them in real life...hence....the internet has gotten you used to ignoring stupid people/conversation.

Really? This is, like, the exact opposite of my experience with the internet.

I wouldn't say that. :p

I would say that the ability to run into the middle of a conversation and yell stuff like "you're all a bunch of stupid dorks!", with little to no repercussion, has spoiled me.

ah, this makes sense. if those dorks were having an online conversation about dog breeds, they could just link to stuff and look things up to get their facts straight. therefore, it would have been a more interesting conversation. as it was, they were just saying things that they thought were facts. and it was highly inaccurate and boring as hell.

it's all my friend's doggie's fault for being part chow and having a black tongue because of it. the girl I hated most said, "they say dogs with black markings on their tongues are smart", and my friend was like, "umm". because chows are notoriously stupid. long story short, I should've just punched her repeatedly in the face and left.

seriously, she can't just go around saying things like that. ugh.

Do you hang out with the cast of Golden Girls? The only time I think we've ever talked about dog breeds is when one of us had the genius idea to get a wolf/dog mix. Like the one Snake Eyes (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__5NI9auKK2k/SLCuz5Q8_oI/AAAAAAAAAPI/4vqpeMEHloA/s320/Snake+Eyes+&+Timber.jpg) had on G.I. Joe. They get a little wild but if it would kill you at least you'd die by one of the most badass animals on the planet.

Just sounds like you didn't like them. More your problem than theirs.

. the girls there were just vacant.

They were probably jealous or something.

oh, I don't know, I think I mostly didn't like them because they were trying so hard to be liked. I like the australian best because he wasn't trying to prove anything other than that he can make delicious food. which he did indeed prove.

anyhoo, wasn't really a problem, I got free food and plenty of laughs later when complaining about them to my friends. because I enjoy putting other people down to make myself feel awesomer, obviously. (being truthful there, not sarcastic).


They were probably jealous or something.

eh? not sure if that's a dig at me or what. maybe vacant was a little off. I just looked at an online dictionary and I should have used insipid..."lacking in qualities that interest, stimulate, or challenge".

Oh no, I just meant maybe they were jealous because the guys thought you were funny and they wanted attention from them or something.

oh. :o

no, I don't think they were jealous. I was almost completely silent other than my smart ass remarks. and they all knew each other. my friend did say that he notices that that group is always trying to impress one another. that might have had something to do with what was happening.
