You're right I have no friends (IRL). Oh well, I'll live.

My best friend in high school turned into a drug addict drunkard who left his wife and kids a few years after we graduated. I've not really been close to anyone since then. Don't have a lot of faith in people these days.

i wonder if i sense sarcasm with the first sentence? the world will never know!

anyways mr. drama queen, or so i say, miss drama queen, if makes you feel any better i'm your friend, cause ya know i'm just a super friendly guy and stuff. no, but really, i'm everyones buddy around here! 

ya need to think more positive! even if things turn out or look like crap. life too short to be angry or miserable. you turn that frown upside down!(ok....i think i seriously need to stop volunteering with babysitting for my friend. i think those kid shows are getting to me lol).

@ RD - I work at a violin shop repairing, selling, renting violins and such. I also handle most of the accounting stuff. Only the boss, his wife, and me, so certainly no coworkers to buddy with. Yeah I'm pretty isolated, but I've sort of created it for myself and I'm fine with it. I could really stand a new job, perhaps that would change everything for the better, not just my paycheck.

@ RA - Well I didn't really intend for this to get to a personal level, but I don't mind it either. I figured nobody would even reply to this thread, hence the title. It was more for my amusement than anything. No sarcasm in that post, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it. I don't feel I'm depressed, I've always been alone (sister is 8 years older, so was off to college when I was 10) so it's natural for me. Perhaps I'm depressed and don't recognize it. I am pretty negative about most things, but I'm always eager to meet Head-fiers at meets as people at Dallas, Austin and RMAF can attest, so maybe I'm just negative about people/things I deal with daily around here and need something from outside to break the negativity for a brief time. My trip to Austin last month in particular was really enjoyable. Even aside from the meet I enjoyed the drive, the quirky hotel, and the food at the restaurants I ate at there.

The hobby thing really boils down to this: I'm an obsessively meticulous perfectionist, as I've said before, and when I think of what I want, I know exactly what I want, but doubt I could ever create, outside of my imagination, that same thing. It's a common failing most people have, but it keeps me from doing much of anything, so it's probably on the more extreme side.

I have a longstanding online friendship with a guy I met on an overclocking forum about 10 years ago who lives in Georgia. Maybe I should take a vacation some time and meet him for once. We talk all the time and share video/pics on Skype.

Maybe I should rename this thread 'Get to know your friendly neighborhood Maxvla'

I work at a violin shop repairing, selling, renting violins and such.
