      are you a robot cat or a trash panda make up your mind woman

      can't i be both like aubrey plaza

      aubrey plaza

      no
      no one can be her
      I only have room in my heart for one of her

      She's never gonna take up residency in there so you're gonna have to make do. 😮

      don't you dash my dreams.

      You know that promise to tell you when I use MEW somewhere?
      I'M TAKING IT BACK.

      You ended up using her somewhere and then telling me like three months later! Your promises are hollow!

      it's not like you ever RP anyway

      I do! I just couldn't get into a good rhythm on SGM. 😞

                        @Cobaltasaurus in response to this thread I get hit in the way seen below. I get put in awkward position and make a joke to break the ice and boom, I’m weirdo...

                          @ThatOneDude I understand the attempted humor in that YouTube clip. But, I cringed clicking it, I cringed more when he opened his mouth for the punchline, an awkward comment to recuse himself as stranger in the car instead of, I don't know, actually breaking the ice.

                          Getting in with a ... Good call, safety first, I live 15 minutes away, if they don't hear back in 30 yeah, sucks that should be done but creeps, glad you let someone know offer fist bump so what's your daytime job when not auditioning, I'm a file clerk at johns law offices ...

                          May have been better than ... Well you made this awkward by telling someone you trust you're offering a stranger a ride and letting them know where you are.

                          I get the ideal of the humor but unwitting demonstration of why in the first place.

                          I'm just a surge protector doing my job, sir.

                            discussion of weather and the like on a game's discord. mention that it was hot as balls in northern va, then get a PM from someone who's like, "Oh I'm nearby we should get lunch sometime."

                            um. i don't know you person, i'm not ready to be killed by a serial killer or something. 😕

                                    You know, for a hobby full of socially awkward people, we sure do nitpick at social awkwardness a lot.

                                    Racism isn't Tinkerbell. It doesn't need you to believe in it for it to exist.

                                      I've met people from MU*ing but like...

                                      At neutral places everyone I was meeting was going to anyway. Like cons. Cons are great places to meet people, so long as you don't do risky things like share rooms or the like.

                                            All of my closest friends at this point are people I originally met on MU*s. Including my roommate!

                                            Basically the same. Except replace roommate with wife.

                                            And also I didn't meet my kids MUing.

                                            Tho I'd rather catch them doing drugs than logging on to pretend to be a vampire or w/e tbqh.

                                            maximum craveability
