Social Retard February 26, 2004 - 3:59 p.m.

I just had this HUGE entry written up about feeling like a total gimp because I'm socially retarded and felt nervous about joining the new Whedonesque chat room.

I went on to explain the benefits of online conversations in real-time form and how discussions on a messageboard or through emails, while having its benefits, seems like such a cold exchange. I even compared that exchange to playing chess with a pen pal on the other side of the country.

I explained how each step in joining this chat room, from just creating an account to joining the group to actually entering the chat discussion, made me nervous and took forever to accomplish.

I made several other valid points and elaborated my story with lovely imagery and insider info, but then I tried to wipe the dust off the keyboard.

And hit the F5 button in the process.

Those of you that haven't tried or aren't aware, if you hit F5, that refreshes the current webpage you're looking at. And if you're on an entry page with Diaryland, that means wiping out whatever entry you may have been working on.

Including this rather lengthy and overly wordy way of me saying 'I'm shy, to the point of disability'.

And since I've just said that, in a much simpler way therefore saving you the agony of reading over some long winded potentially boring and useless entry, I'm going to watch Eliza Dushku on Sharon Osbourne.
