...who would it be?

Pretend that we are in the real world. If you were to sit with anyone from WP or walk with them to places in the real world, then who would they be?

I'm asking this because during a BBQ today, I noticed that people were inviting themselves to sit with their friends or being invited. I, of course, wasn't invited to sit with anyone. I also didn't invite myself. What I hate about this is when I get afraid that people will walk away when I sit with them or when I sit by myself and a group of friends come, they would ask me to sit someplace else.

So, I'm trying to create a scenario where WP members are people in the real world, preferrably in school. I'm wondering if I would end up sitting or walking alone or if there would be folks that would enjoy my company. However, this isn't just about me. I just want to know what WP members you guys would hang out with if we were all in person and not on the Internet. If you have any comments, please respond.

I usually end up sitting on my own, unless someone feels sorry for me. I hate that though. I'd rather be on my own than with someone who was just there because they felt they had to.

There are quite a lot of WP members I would choose. But I won't list them all because I'd end up forgetting people. So I'll just say Raph522, Starbuline, Kilroy, greenblue and Yoshie777.

I'd be scared but willing to try sitting by anyone. I'd choose(like if I actually needed to make a choice) Sopho,Willow,SteveK,and/or Grawlyn(sp?).

8O There are several people I'd like to talk to, but I think I'd end up standing in a corner and waiting for people to come to me. I'm not very good at starting conversations or approaching people.

So this is a hypothetical WP barbecue? Can I find a comfortable seat and just stay there? I'll bring a book. Can my seat be inside? I don't like bugs, and sunlight is too bright, especially when I'm reading. I don't have to talk to people, do I? Will there be wine or beer and various types of pasta salad? I love wine or beer and pasta salad. Don't talk to me, okay? I just want to read my book. I hope I can sit on the sofa and nobody will bother me...

I remember a thread sort of like this awhile back. I offered to bring cheese cubes and beer. :) So, in answer to one of your questions, Esperanza, there would probably be beer.

I can see it now. Half of us will be milling around aimlessly, and the other half will be hiding in corners and inside. :) A social lot we are. That being said, I would actually like for something like this to happen, just to meet or see a lot of the people.

I'd start with calandale. Until he teases me too much--then I'd tell teacher on him :x . I'd also like to hang out with The Resistence, scrulie, Yasmine, ZanneMarie, shadexiii, likedcalico, yoshie, Wolfpup, tomamil, Fedaykin.... but seriously, all of you WPers seem like you'd be neat to hang out with on one level or another.

eta: I'd also interrupt Esperanza's reading :D

I'm kind of sorry I even brought this topic up. It's just that I'm so tired of feeling left out in the real world. I also wanted to find out what kind of cliques would form on this website, but I can see that there really isn't a clique at all here. I guess EVERYONE on this website is a group, not just a few people at a time. :(

In the real world, every time I'm in a group or near a group, I'm always afraid that someone will ask me to move someplace else to make room for more of their friends or when I sit in a group and then the group leaves. I also hate it when I'm ignored or when it seems like nobody is really taking an interest in what I say. I just feel really jealous right now. You guys are great, but I'm just so darn lonely in the university with no true friends. By the way, what would you guys do if any of these things happened to you? :(

What would I do? Probably fail to make any attempt at initiating friendships with anyone and perhaps by my silence earn myself a reputation as icy and stuck-up. :lol:

Or at least that's what I would have done back when I was in college. Now I think if I really wanted to meet people, I could probably bring myself to join a club.

Why does it upset you that we're not cliquey? I don't quite understand.
