Description "Can't we just be friends?"

It's a shame when first impressions still have weight behind them in this 'civilized' society.
Is that why so many of us create our art, to show that we are truly different inside?
Is that why it's so hard to just talk to a stranger?
Is that why some give money to the homeless as they pass and some don't?

Are first impressions a warning mechanism or a human trait?

haha....you have to say.... they still are in my book this best horror creation in the last 20 - 30 years. when Giger was designing them he remembered the myth that the last thing the prey see's before thier death is the teeth....so he gave the aliens two sets of teeth....just to take the scare factor up a notch...man it worked for me too....did you know he deisgned them with bird bones? interesting fact...but a little useless. thankyou Jenn, it's always great to hear from you.

a warning mechanism over time
that has turned into what people remember us by
esp if we are just passer bys
i hate first impressions .0000001% of the times you may
get a true response
most of it is fake...flaky..over presumptious

argh...that is one of the many reasons i meet so little people
as i love being the person i am and at times i find it hard
to go up to someone and just be how i am..it is embarassing..my bad grammer and all

hahaha na your grammers fine in my book. Yeah i know exactly what you mean. For instance last night i was out clubbing and i saw this very nice looking woman.....i was halfway to her and i lost my bottle...just walked right past her into the toilets....stood there at the urinal.....trying to force myself 'to go'......even though i didn't need 'to go'.....eventually i tucked 'the beast' back in (only kidding) and walked back out....then as i passed by her i turned and smiled......and walked right into a table full of drinks.....eventuality?.....wet trousers...£10 down buying the guy his spilt drink back and no girl.....all because of first impressions.

hbynoe In reply to chapterone [2005-01-18 18:39:14 +0000 UTC]

see wqhat i mean
first impressions will be the death of us all..
i think i am finally comfortable
around a few people
i still dread social places though..i mean unless of course
i get cabin fever and just have to go out
i hope the trousers didn't get to wet
