First my dad was in the army so I had the army brat syndrome. Then, he was into Top Fuel Drag Racing so we moved around for that (betwixt Denver, Boulder and Texas), then after his accident when he was well enough to work he became a Jack-of-All-Trades; that classic American Man who went where the jobs were and if it were secure and promising move the family out there (even lived in Alaska for about 8 months, but I was a wee 'un so don't remember). Anyway, my point is... I grew up being the new kid, the outsider, and oft times the ostracized scape-goat target. I crave acceptance, I yearn for acceptance... but I'm horribly shy sometimes, it strikes without warning and leaves me feeling like a moron after the fact. I flew into the ng with arms waving and promptly landed with both feet in my mouth. While I think I've redeemed myself, and even feel like I fit in, I completely understand that feeling of cliquishness. I feel it when I go to concerts and stand around the already established circle of Fru's. I know I'm welcome, I know I'm wanted... but it doesn't change the fact that hanging out with new people is kinda intimidating and does take a sometimes herculean effort. I've also noticed that people I latch onto via the ng aren't necessarily the people I latch onto in person... doesn't mean I adore them any less, just that hanging face to face is a little different. AJ mentioned at one point something along the lines of not everyone on the ng being best friends, and its true. I know I'm not loved (or liked, even) by some people on the ng... I won't pout about it, I won't cause trouble or antagonize them... but I won't go out of my way to try and be accepted by them either. It makes it real, that's my attitude about it. I'm much more comfortable with people coming up to me and saying hi than trying to actively engage them in conversation. My social "mingling" skills are atrocious, and unless there's something specific to focus on I'm at a loss for words. Yeah, there is a feeling of cliquishness, but that only comes from familiarity. Start small, we're a very intricate web of fanatics... er, fans... and if you connect with just one of us you'll before long be in the thick of it (/me still shudders at the huge and largely unfamiliar crowd yelling "HI ANGIE!" at FruCon!). - --Angie going home to enjoy the blessedly cooler afternoon btw: when are people thinking of arriving in Toronto? also: in regard to the AMMF Profile (Josh W, you catching these questions about the Fan bios?): >...get up and sing in front of 1000 people? been there, done that, got the videotape somewhere's ;^} talk about a paradox... how can one be shy and be a shameless ham in the same personality?!?
