Just wanted to take the time to say hello on this forum. I rarely speak with people, computer or otherwise, and I wanted to make it my business to become more proactive in communicating with others.

My name is Michael, and I'm 32, born, raised and living in Brooklyn, New York. I work from my home office, and I don't really get a chance to get out and meet people, due to my hectic schedule. At times, I sneak out in the midnight hours to a bar, prompting a few to consider me a vampire. Maybe they're right: I do drink Tru Blood from time to time.

I wouldn't say that I'm shy, but I feel weird around people, especially here in New York City. It's as if the closer people get to me, the more threatened I feel; Eye contact makes me feel that I'm being judged, and physical touch often makes me feel like walls are closing in on me. Another reason why midnight travel calms my nerves.

Anyway, I apologize for boring you. Just wanted to say hello, and hopefully we can have pleasant conversations from time to time.
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I guess I consider the words that emanate from me "boring" due to the fact that my contact with people is limited. I often assume that what I'm inspire to say at a given moment would more likely cause people to tune out and wish they were somewhere else at that moment. There's an old saying about assumptions in general, and I need to let go of the self-judgement that I'm rather quick to execute.

I have to leave for Manhattan soon to work on someone's laptop. I'll definitely chat with you all very soon. Being a web developer (plus having no life lol), I'm almost always on the computer. The thought of spending time here brings a genuine smile to my face.
