Punky

Ah okay, well, I guess you're wondering where that long ass kidnapping list went. Better yet, let me tell you why that long ass list was there to begin with; it should make things easier to understand. I came to DS at a phase in my life when I was deeply depressed and just very self conscious about myself in general. But at the same time, I really liked the easygoing nature of this forum. I wanted to join in too and talk with them but there was one problem: I had a debilitating fear of talking to others; to the point where it was hell going to the convenience store or simply ordering some fast food. I wanted to talk but I couldn't so what was I to do? Finally, I decided to come up with a gimmick. I would kidnap people. It seemed to be a good opportunity as well since there was a "kidnapping DS members" meme going on at the time. It was short-lived, but it lasted long enough for others to notice. Regardless of how nervous I was of talking to the other members, I would kidnap the ones who caught my interest and force mysef to leave some kind of message on their profile. In doing this, the person would be likely to respond and then I'd have a somewhat easier chance of talking with them and getting to know them. Thus, Punky's Kidnapping List was born.

Well, It worked way better than I could've hoped. Within a few months, I was able to get to know a majority of the active posters and in turn get my name known as well. The longer I stayed on the site, the more I noticed my confidence begin to grow. I became more outgoing and easier to approach(at least I'd like to think I did anyway lol). Long story short, I found myself depending on my list less often to converse with people and making lasting friendships in the process. In addition, a few problems began to arise. I began receiving various PMs and comments from people asking why they weren't on the list and what they'd have to do to get on it. Eh, it was all a headache in general, so I decided to finally ditch it. I don't want to sound stuck up or anything, but to those who would ask why they were never on there, don't take it personally. It was never a friends list or special buddy list or anything, it was merely a tool I used to overcome my own fears. You didn't have to be on there to be my friend, it just so happened that those who I happened to approach, I ended up becoming friends with. Okay, so now that that's done with, on to the more interesting stuff!

Interests: I'm pretty much the textbook case of a geek. I love to study and teach myself new things I never knew before. Even if it's something I had no interest in the day before. In particular, I love Japanese culture as a whole, especially the language. In addition, I also love Psychology, drawing, skateboarding(though I'm too broke to get a new one atm), playing the guitar, eating, gaming, and just having fun. I love trying new things and I love having both intellectual and tms-level discussions alike lol. I also have both ADHD and OCD but I try not to let them effect me much here. At worst, I'd probably just randomly disappear from online for awhile and then randomly reappear again. Didn't really wanna mention it but I don't want people to think I'm ignoring them or anything. It just happens.
Um maybe I'll add more stuff later when I can think of them lol
