shaunmdaniel is adapting to drier, hotter life in Prineville

Life in a new town 1 week ago

Having moved to Prineville about 2 months ago and working from home, I haven’t yet had a chance to meet many people. Also, being young and not too long out of college while living in a rural area don’t seem too common of a thing. Nonetheless, I’d like to meet some people who are roughly in my age demographic, who I can connect with and call new friends. Otherwise it gets kind of lonely!

I met a female who seems kinda cool... 1 month ago

Although I met this particular female before at different events, her and her husband came to our house this past Sunday. Her husband and my husband are good friends. Sunday was the first time her and I had a conversation and she seems pretty cool.

We found out we have things in common like reading and working out. She wants to start a book club and since I used to be the President of one I know all about it. We’re currently talking about starting a new book club together – we’ll see how it goes.

I have to thank God for this one…I just prayed to make new female friends in my area on Saturday and he answered me on Sunday. God is faithful!



Saturday night-out =S 1 month ago

We went to this place in the cbd, a bar/lounge. This was organised by one of the guys on facebook about a month prior to the date. Of course word spread and there were so many of us (on top of all the other people who had no connection to our invite). one of my girlfriends asked me 2 drive-and of course I can’t say no…. so I was designated driver- not particularly happy but anyway it’s my own fault for not speaking up…

So, I was fine up until that day. I happened to have the day off so I just kicked back at home all day. However, I was in such an uneasy mood for he entire day! I couldn’t snap out of it. I wasn’t grumpy, I was anxious and fretting, but not so obviously to others- it was just those ‘feelings.’ I tried to keet myself occupied- put on some Cuban/Latino music (that always makes me a little happier) but no, feelings stayed.

When people started getting home from work and school I just went quiet and wouldn’t talk to anyone. I didn’t eat dinner. I had a shower later on, got dressed and went down to the kitchen where mom was. I was feeling so badly and really did not want to go but I had to because I’d already promised my friend that I’d drive her. Mom asked me what was wrong and I just burst into tears. I couldn’t stop crying. Mom couldn’t say anything to make me feel better. She just kept saying that I have to smile more and if I’m introduced to a new person (WHICH WAS INEVITABLE UNFORTUNATELY) show interest in them as a person as people are most comfortable around people who care about them blah blah blah.

That’s fine, and on a one-on-one basis I usually can get through a new-person-meet without looking to awkward, but we’re talking about a huge place that despite it not being a “club” as such, there’s music that seems to get louder and louder, you have to virtually yell and there’s people everywhere you have to push your way through people just standing around to get from one area to another and its really hot undoubtedly because of so many people crammed into a relatively small place…. furthermore, I couldn’t leave when I wanted to (usually that puts me at ease when I go out- knowing that when I’ve had enough I can just leave) because I had to look after my friend. In addition to not being able to leave- I couldn’t have even ONE drink because of course I was driving. (I’m certainly not the type to get ‘drunk’ but if I can have at least one really strong drink- that’ll relax me a little and socially I’ll be fine and act “normal” instead of reserved (or snobby some people have said)). So that was another thumb down.

Anyway……there was a lot more mayhem but I guess that’s enough of an entry. It’s very difficult to meet new people when you don’t possess confidence in the social setting.

I need to make new friends 1 month ago

I am very shy. And my best friend has moved to another state and I need to get out and meet new friends. I just have to get over my self consciousness.



OKCupid 1 month ago

So, meeting new people on OKCupid has been very successful. I think I still need some practice to completely be done with the goal of meeting new people, but I’m definitely getting there. I’m becoming more convinced that there are people out there worth meeting and I shouldn’t get discouraged when there aren’t any at the moment.
