I wouldnt call myself that. I actually like being social (depending ont he
crowd, i am a bit reserved). I actually try to get out as much as I can to
have interaction with people. Once i get into the groove with the crowd, i
can be very talkative.

Actually most people i know say "neat!" or "interesting!". I havent met
one person yet that's told me "get a life" or "that's so useless". They
actually think it's cool that i'm working on an entire romance language
:). Probably because all the people I know have varied interests.
