How's it going, Lucina? Welcome to Dream Views. [/b]
Thank you!

haha, Im excited to have you as a member, I can tell your going to love it here and we will lvoe having you. If you ever have any questions about me or anything, feel free to PM whenever[/b]
*blushes* I will remember your offer, thank you. I'm excited to be here and I'm loving it already! The people are extremely nice.

Sucks that you may not have access to the internet while you're in your transition, but we'll keep a spot here for ya, no worries. Besides, there can't be many places left on this earth without a computer hooked up to a phone jack! I'm sure you'll be back here with us in no time [/b]
Hello Torndado Joe. I'm sure that I'll find internet. I might move in with my friend and thankfully she has the net. *phew* I'd be pretty lost without it. I'd miss it so much. *hugs my monitor* Thank you for the welcome, I appriciate it.

I too can relate to the fear of being constantly judged. I always used to feel like eyes were on me when I walked out in public, or thought that for some reason everyone would drop what they were doing and would rear their attention towards whatever I thought was wrong with me (as ridiculous as that sounds). [/b]
Oh gawd, that's how I am all the time. It drives me nuts. I just have to accept the fact that some people will look in my direction. It's just nice to not be noticed sometimes.

Things changed when I got a job at a science centre about a year ago which basically forced me into having to deal with the public head on (this was scary for me). After a year though, my confidence level has seriously soared. I open up to strangers now, where as a year ago, I wouldn't dare talk to a stranger for fear of saying something stupid, and often the fear alone would cause me to act stupidly. [/b]
That's awesome. Hopefully I will get to that point in the future. I think once I get back out there and start working(I used to be a waitress and I never had social problems), I'll get used to working with people again.

I too have just recently joined the forum a few days back. The community seemed great from the posts I've read through weeks before joining, and the fact that it was a community of dreamers was the cherry on top for me! It's really good to see a fellow Canadian (or what seems to be a fellow Canadian) joining up, although on these forums I truly feel like nationality doesn't make any difference, but there's still a slight sense of pride involved there. [/b]
Welcome to the forums! Hopefully we'll bump into eachother now and again. Have a cup of coffee, sing the national anthem together. Show off some of our canadian pride. LOL *runs and gets my canadian flag foam finger*

Big fan of Enya as well although Enigma is my audio drug of choice! [/b]
*gives off a deafening scream* Enya! I absolutely adore her music. And I like some Enigma music. I have a couple songs on a burnt CD I listen too. Gravity Of Love and Turn Around(I think that's what it's called). I enjoy them, and I'm going to try and get my hand on some more of their music becuase I enjoy it.

Welcome, Lu!

I'm a little newbie here myself, but it is great to have you at DV!
Nice post, btw. Good to see a decent "newbie" post.

Aaaannndd... No need to be shy! [/b]
Welcome to DVs as well! Thank you and I'll try my best to not be shy. I'm actually having an easy time being myself here. I <3 it here. Where has this forum been all my life?!

Thank you to everyone who welcomed me! *gives you all a fresh picked flower* And to those who didn't... you get a flower anyway. It's great being here!
