We're not all weirdo geeks! You seem to be tarring us all with the same brush here! Come on, fair go!

Of course there are some total eejits out there who spoil things for everybody else, yuo get that in just about any society, group, business, whatever. Whole thing is if you don't like what they are creating, or if you don't like certain people, then don't get involved with them.

When I got to the 'Society' I fell into a barony which is quite qell known for it's snobbery and this really sucked and was really off-putting. I considered leaving a few times, but I stuck it out and I'm glad I have because in the last year (I've been in for 3) I've met some truly wonderful people. We don't take it overly seriously (there is a time and a place for seriousness!) and we have loads of fun!

It's what you make it. If you hang around a bunch of misery guts, dorks or people you don't want to hang around and be with then of course you won't have a good time. Get out there and be sociable and have the guts to step outside your comfortable circle of friends and make new ones! Try new things! Find your own interests! Don't just base your experience on what you have heard or what you haven't tried. And please don't be so judgemental of us! We're not _all_ like that!
