Tim's Rant 01 - first impressions

Okay so i've decided to update and yeh i'm going to do a rant and it's going to be random and full of lots of sarcastic stuff and lots of typos and lots of .... yeh just don't take any of this seriously.

first impressions -
Okay so im going to rant about first impression, which is also kinda linked with building new friendships. i mean okay, now that highschool is over and uni is about to begin do u ever worry that you won't beable to make any new friends? or u won't beable to make enough friends and your going to feel like a social loser? Anyways this is where first impressions count a lot. how many times have u met someone and either go
'hey this guy seems cool' or 'wow this girls special'
or.......
'oh man.... this blows..... he/she is just too plain boring'
well for people who pick the first option good for u! and for people who pick the second option well i got news for U! U know u shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and yeahh people are kinda like books u know, if u meet a 'boring' person don't just brush them aside, keep reading them a little and then u might find something interesting.
However...... don't u think sometimes the cover is more interesting then the content.... for example, how many people have read the book... no wait, watched the movie 'eragon' .... OH my goodness that was the worst movie i have ever seen, i was sooooo anoyed i actually spent money to see such a rubbish packed film, but oH man how good was the trailer and the movie poster!! ... see this is what i mean with people, and these people must be avoided at all cost!! i know this seems drastic and harsh but let me explain.
reasoning: these people bring u down, they screw up ur personality bad!! they also make u a worst person. they make u try to act in a different way just to suit them not u. if u meet someone who doesn't communicate back to you, doesn't show any effort to talk to you, or to 'try' to befriend u, then you are wasteing good time... and energy and effort, and as u know time is money, so really u are wasteing ur money on this person, it's not worth it! Also why would u compromise urself??? never try to be someone that u are not, at the expense of your own indiviuality because then u will be fake and fake is no good.. tim no like fake, and not many people i know like fake too!
Anyways... im going all over the place i can't write down what exactly im going to say so lets continue this random rant on first impressions. i think they are really really no REALLY important, they print a really strong memory into ones head and it usually sticks with them. I mean... would it kill you if u gave a smile to someone when u first meet them??? and maybe u know put on some charm - sincere charm though.

"Hi i'm _______, nice to meet u! wow u have pretty hair"
"awww why thankyou, i love ur shirt, where did u get it from? oh i'm _______ by the way"

no i didn't think so, i mean come on isn't that far more better then something like

"Hey can i borrow ur rubber?"
"ok"

Oh my gosh a name would be good yehh?? do u really want to be known as the rubber guy or girl?? but my goodness whats the worst is when you go out in a group of friends and then there is this new person there and like there is no introduction at all... and then u spend half the outting just glancing at the new guy/girl.. rofl it's quite ammusing but soo not cool right! and then only like in the last hour u actually exchange words.. oh boy.. thats soo stuffed up. Ohhh and the 'i'm shy don't look at me' excuse is soo pathetic! i'm soo sick and tired of that, if someone has the courage to actually introduce themselves to you, the lease u could do is not act shy, because acting shy gives the impression of cold... cold is no good, cold gives the impression of a snob... sorry it's true, regardless if u are a snob or not a snob, so for goodness sakes you were given a chance to defend yourself and show ur true personality and awesome person u are, except u chose not to so what were u really expecting? the other guy/or girl to research ur past and then come to some kind of objective judgement that you really are an awesome person??? fat chance.

Okay look, i know i can be a bit weird meeting new people and i probably give out really weird impressions and stuff that don't really reflect the kind of person i am. i mean just recently this new guy i met asked my friend 'oh is tim gay?' and then she told me.

what the?! ?!!! ?! !? !!?!?! ?!?!?!?!

okay, look, how the hell did he jump to that conclusion i have no idea, but obviously it must of been something i was doing or acting or whatever, from me.. he got the impression that i was gay. Im using this example to further strenghen my point that u need to have a good first impression, because i must admit i wasn't talking to this person much and then i decided to try talking to this person and then somehow it rubbed off wrongly, maybe because it was really random and he could of been thinking 'oh why now start talking to me?' sooo maybe i have no idea... so maybe if i was just friendly from the beginning he would of though 'ohh hey tims cool' insted of wondeing if 'tims gay'
anyways don't let this happen to u, i encourage u all that the next new person u meet, stay calm, be friendly, give a good impression and enjoy the start of an awesome friendship that will last forever. U don't want to be known as 'the gay guy' or something, hahah so yeh! peace out, i'm done ranting today,

timmy.
