[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

true

[Aiel Heart]

:D

[mmeeshal]

Apparently the saidin server was suffering, so they were replacing it. XD

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

more twitter facts?

[Aiel Heart]

I love our server names XD

[mmeeshal]

They are epic, are they not? And yes, Cindy, that's where I got it from. Twitter is useful, sometimes. XD

[Leelou]

*curls up in a ball of laziness*

[mmeeshal]

Today I don't feel like doing anything... I just wanna lay in my bed...

[Aiel Heart]

very clever too :P

 

*puts a blanket over leelou*

[Leelou]

That would have been lovely. To be in bed all day. *sigh*

[mmeeshal]

Aw crud, my world is crushed every time I remember I still have an assignment due tonight. XD

[Aiel Heart]

do it quickly? :P

[Locke]

And with skill.

[mmeeshal]

Quickly, I might be able to manage. With skill? Heheh, not so much. It's macroeconomics. It's like trying to read a fish. How do you even do that?

[Aiel Heart]

well first you must learn the signs of fish's emotions

[mmeeshal]

*laughs hard enough to snort lemonade out of her nose, if she was drinking any*

 

What are those? >.>

[Aiel Heart]

If its mouth is opening and closing, it's feeling alive.

If its tail and fins are wiggling a little means it's content.

If not much movement or all then it's feeling sick or sad.

If its tail is moving more than its fins then it's excited.

If its fins move more than it's tail then it's angry.

If its fins and tail are both moving a lot, it's feeling stimulated ;)

[mmeeshal]

Wow....I wish human non-verbal communication was as easy as that. XD

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

easier, but you really don;t want to know what they're thinking.

[mmeeshal]

It's not easier for me. It's like a foreign language that I've been teaching myself as I grew up. I am not even joking.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i hang out a bit at wrongplanet.net myself.

[mmeeshal]

It's not fun, is it. *shakes head*

 

At least I've gotten the gist of the vocabulary...now to attain fluency... XD

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it;s the thing where they say something and mean the opposite, or smile and mean aggression or nervousness... it goes on and on.

[mmeeshal]

Yup, exactly! My biggest problem as a kid was knowing when someone wanted me to shut up without them actually telling me. They'd still be nodding and smiling, but they'd be fidgeting, looking at other things, whatever...I've learned to pick up those signs by sheer repetition. XD

 

Yeah, usually with family and friends I know well I can pretty much pick up on their nonverbal cues...all of them, even the conflicting ones...but strangers are foreign territory to me usually, and sometimes I can't tell if my dad is being serious or not.... XD

 

My doctor said I should practice or something. >.> He suggested watching Lie to Me... *shrugs*

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

wrongplanet is very good.
