Unexpected...

Lush · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 15, 03

Now that i've met quite a few of you fnkers, I've gotten a chance to see how wrong my initial impressions of some of you were.

I know it's not right to judge anyone based on their posts or the image they set for themselves through a website, but I guess it's human nature for us to do so, and as much as I hate to admit I had formed opinions about some of you and it was only after meeting you that I realized how wrong I was.

Has this happened to anyone else?
hmm here are some examples (please don't hate me for this):

Hayley, I didn't think you'd be as outgoing and friendly as you were, I thought you'd be a lot more reserved and I never ever thought I'd see you wear candy.

Chet, I thought you'd be a lot more obnoxious and loud.. almost in a cocky way (sorry)

Matty (offset): My impression of you was so far off, it wasen't a bad impression I just thought you were into candy for some reason.

Filo, I thought you'd be really serious, but you have a great sense of humour and I didn't even see that coming.

Hmm on the other hand, i've met some of you that were almost exactly how i'd pictured you to be if not beyond that....
Yoko, Jingles, and Sammy,

Anyways I hope I haven't offended anyone, I don't mean this thread as a personal thing, I just needed to get this off my back.
There's a few more impressions that I had formed.. some I don't want to post and some I might post later.

shadi you were a lot quieter then i thought u'd be, i thought u were going to be the hyper type.

i think everyone i have met off here has been pretty much as i have expected them to be

most of the people havent gotten what they expected when they've met me.....
and the first thing chet ever said to me was "you hate everyone dont you?" haha thats not true!

:)

Wow...props to shades..builds up enough to tell the people!!!

i havent' really met a lot of FnKer's...only a few...but they've completely been totally cool after getting to know them

I think it's more of ppl being judgemental on First Impressions. I think it takes time to get to know a person before you judge them =)

Lush · #20 (**permalink**) Sep 16, 03

^ Really? Yeah I can be pretty reserved,

Shannon, I didn't really know what to expect of you, except that I thought you'd be friendly, and you totally were, you're also really easy to talk to. But I also thought your personality would be a lot like Ashlees and I guess there are some similarities but not like i thought.

Chet, I apologize for that approach, I'm honest as it is, but i'm brutally honest when I drink...

Akeel, I thought you'd be egotistical for some reason.. I didn't think you'd be easy to talk to, when I met you at IMF you were almost completely the opposite of what I expected.

Partizan, I thought you were a lot older, it never crossed my mind that we'd be the same age.

linds · #21 (**permalink**) Sep 16, 03

when i first started posting on here, i got all excited, and met alot of people off here...

when i did meet them, most of them were how i thought they would be. some had alot more substance than i thought, and that was a nice surprise. im sorry, i dont take rave msg board people too seriously anymore. so that was my fault.

a few people i met, discusted me, and that was shocking, they ended up being not who i thought they were at all, and it really sucked, but that was the past.

but yeah, the people i met, i sort of stopped seeing, and so i never got to hang out or get to know them as much as i wanted to, and i dont know what that happened ..damn add..anyways, i dont know what im trying to say anymore.

Lush · #22 (**permalink**) Sep 16, 03

Sorry that was intended for Cinist...

oh and 4:20, you're totally right about me loving the nightmarket :tounge1:

Sorry I didn't come introduce myself, it looked like you were busy, and I thought it would be sort of awkward.

hahahaha shades has no opinion on me!!! haha so does this mean i'm in your good book?

Lush · #25 (**permalink**) Sep 16, 03

^ hmm my opinion of you,
you seem really outgoing and charismatic, I also think you're wise beyond your years, even though sometimes people don't take the time to notice that. I have a good impression of you even though you tend to leave me hanging in msn conversations... :soak:
