I'm having an urge to fiddle about with PhotoShop today. And HTML. Maybe I'll do the whole change-all-icons-and-mood-theme-and-revamp-web-site thing today. I need something mindless, something where I know that if I do something wrong it'll only fuck up a layout and I can actually go back and fix it.

(And this is why I don't do this whole interpersonal relationships thing, because I cannot "read" people in even the most rudementary way, and I'm constantly feeling like I'm walking through a swamp where everyone but me knows the safe path to travel.)

(</random angst moment, possibly to be expanded upon later>)

Same thing here, sort of. I haven't been enjoying spending time with men, in general even, straight or gay, ever since an obviously gay man politely asked me if it was ok for him to touch me in the sauna.
I guess it's paranoia too. I don't feel like I'm actually doing something. In fact I talked with that guy for like 5 minutes about random subjects before he popped that question, and now it's been like each time a guy comes up to talk to me, I'm expecting that question to follow, and I want to keep the conversation as short as possible.
It's been improving the past few years, little by little.
You should explain "socially inept" in Dutch to me, if you can, I don't feel like I really get what it means, even from the surrounding context.

"Socially inept" means um ... "social onaangepast", except not really. "Inept" usually means "not very good at" something. That help?

Not very good at socialising, like the opposite of associal for what I can make of it. That'll do.
