^ Cause I started it!

Starting with this post, I'm just a fiend!

Quote

The only wine I ever tasted was at communion and I hated it with a passion.

I still dun like the taste of alcohol.

Then this post:

Quote

As of today, I'm legally permitted to drink alcohol, but haven't bothered to try any. (I don't much like the smell of alcoholic beverages, so I doubt I'll care for the taste, either.)

Then this one:

Quote

I am extremely alcohol sensitive.

Theeeeeen this one:

Quote

I've also tasted communion... it wasn't bad, truth be told... I still hesitate to take it, as I don't like drinking alcohol...

And so on...

I'm wondering why everyone is talking about their tastes or distastes in alcohol :blink: .

Same here. I think that it's time for a change in direction!

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

I generally consider myself a lousy conversationalist. I'm usually too shy to attempt to initiate a conversation, and even when I'm not, I often can't think of how to open one. I'm a lot better at inserting myself into already-running discussions through interjections (of course, that brings up the problem of getting a word in without interrupting someone else). And if someone directly addresses me, asks me a question, or otherwise admits me into the conversation themselves, that helps too.

At any rate, once I do start talking, there's the issue of my frequent tendency to trip over my own tongue,

: forget what I was about to say,

and/or forget what I was talking about entirely.

And if I can overcome all that without looking like the village idiot, I usually have trouble closing the conversation, because I have difficulty telling when the other person wants to stop talking unless they say so, but am afraid I will appear rude if I terminate the discussion myself.

That's what I love about this thread. Little to no conversational aptitude required! (Though if the other participants are making posts in a similar vein, I’m usually not one to change the subject.)

I am a good conversationalist, but I don't get as many opportunities to converse as I might sometimes like...

More onto the new topic, I suck at conversing.

^ I got my drivers licence in March 2004, still don't have a car, but I didn't really need an own car so far either.

Noname · **Reply #647 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:56:44 AM

I don't own a car either... no need to have one where I live, and it can be very expensive...

action9000 · **Reply #648 on:** July 16, 2009, 01:04:58 PM

Everything is so far away here that a car is really, really useful. I completely agree that it is expensive though. I also receieved my driver's licence in 2004.

I'm going for my driver's license this summer. I don't drive that much, though.

I think about spirituality and religion every day. It's just really important to me. Not one religion in particular, all religions are important to me, but spirituality as a whole is important to me.

Also, I never have been spanked in my life. I always get annoyed when people say, "Oh, that was because you were "good"."

What BS. It was because spanking just wouldn't work for me anyway. And my parents believe that spanking is the same thing as abuse. So yeah...

I don't believe in abortion, the death penalty, euthanasia, or corporeal punishment... or the material, mental, social, economic, and spiritual conditions which promote these things.

tempestwheel · **Reply #654 on:** July 18, 2009, 12:02:53 AM

Similar to ratlady, I do believe in a God, just not any particular religion's interpretation of God.

I'm a Pastafarian atheist. I don't need to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I know his noodles are there. So I don't believe, which makes me an atheist. However, I do support the Flying Spaghetti Monster, so I'm Pastafarian. (NOTE: Not to offend any religious people here, but when I say I know the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there, that is just my ego speaking).

Same here. I don't believe in racism, sexism, or discrimination of any kind. I also despise domestic violence, child abuse, and animal cruelty with a passion
