How come no one really posts in this section?? We should just talk about nothing... Anyone from Sydney?

because we surreptitiously weave our chit-chat into the GAMSAT threads.

Hi! Very Happy

Guilty as charged. I know, but at least we have an area where we can chit-chat WITHOUT using all that extra brain power figuring out how to interweave plans for the weekend with a topic of organic chemistry etc.
You don't agree?

By the way, saw ur post- no news yet?

No news from Griff. Should be friday, but I'm not going to worry or think about it all the time.
Okay...so what to chit-chat about? Like, omigod, how glad are we that Christina didn't get married.

Confused

yes, no?

i don't know whether u were being sarcastic or not! either way-yes I was happy.
Ok adrian, u of all ppl should know the answer to this question- on a scale of one to ten, how sad is it that I really like this forum??!!! I feel very very geeky.

You seem to think i'm very sarcastic, for some reason - i'm quite baffled.

I don't think it's overly sad that you like this forum - there was a time when i was on here daily. It's a good support/info network, and awesome for procrastination!

You know what else is good for procrastination? My blog! Check out www.doctor007.wordpress.com (hahaha love the shameless plug).

haha, I believe the word you're looking for is 'shameless,' I'm shameless.

** Interestingly, I have just discovered your blog. I shall be seeing more of you, then!

thank u for ur lovely, inspiring comment adrian. I actually feel a tad bit embarassed that u read it! I don't know why yet.... I will get back to u once I figure it out. By the way, are they YOUR stories that you've been writing on ur blog?

P.S- didn't realise u were italian!

Adrian · Posted: Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:54 pm Post subject:

Yes, they are stories of things that have happened and are happening in my life.
Don't feel embarrassed that I read your blog! that's why it's there, isn't it? It may not be, actually, and I can understand the therapeutic benefit in just putting your thoughts out there.

Yeah, my dad's an Italian, and my mum is Aussie. Actually, my mum is 1/32 Chinese, so I guess i'm an Australian-Italian-Chinaman!

yes I know, maybe I'm scared of criticism? I'm doing psych so i should know- I'm actually trying to update some photos now...

Ur a cocktail i'm jealous, there are so many amazing mixes out there, and they are so interesting.
haha, i'm reading ur blog!

haha, that's cool - feel free to make suggestions, since you're reading it. Only good can come of growth.

Nobody is afraid of criticism, in my opinion. I think people are afraid of the consequences of criticism, ie being forced to recognise one's own imperfections, that we are not always right, or that someone else has found a better way to do something.

We're afraid of being wrong, mostly. We realise nobody thinks we're perfect - we just don't want to show them we're not.
