Eh, don't worry - everyone goes through the awkward period of being "the new guy". I was pretty timid too when I was new. I hesitated a lot about sending Death or Raadec a message and felt anxious if they sent me one - I thought they were the stern kind of admins who would scold me about my edits :P

Having friends was hard for me in the pre-Internet era. It was okay at elementary school, since one of my classmates lived in the same building and we had known each other since we were about 6 years old. If it wasn't for him, it would have been pretty lonely - the only thing that attracted some attention from other people was the computer (and the Doom installed on it). By the way, that guy and I are still friends... and sometimes, when we meet, we talk about our memories of all the crazy stuff we did as kids (I won't even mentioned how many times we nearly blew ourselves up, or set the house on fire, or flooded the basement, or fell into some dark pit... we were classic troublemakers).

At high school, there was (again) just one guy who tried to be closer ot me, and he was fairly similar to me - a loner with unorthodox views and attitudes. He was the only one who actually asked me to go out for a walk... yeah, it was a pretty weird walk, but I really enjoyed it.

No internet meant no Wiki to work on... so I worked on an ordinary paper notebook instead - a repository where I collected all of my weird thoughts and ideas (and there surely were a lot of them). It was a mixture of a blog, a personal diary, and a Wiki (without a specific topic).

Age doesn't really mean much these days - I may be 30, but I usually have the mindset of 20. And most people think I am no more than 25 in terms of outer appearance. It's a state of mind.

I just hope you guys don't imagine me as wearing one of those traditional folk costumes - I don't know if I could ever bear to wear such a thing :P

You know, some day we could exchange photos too and see exactly what we look like...
