How does I gain the confidence to be part of an online community like y'all do? :P Seriously, I have no idea. You all have brassy-er ones than me.

You just accept that the vast majority of people here are wonderful. There may be a couple of rude individuals, but you don't have to pay them any mind if you don't want to. The internet gives you a strange sort of power that way. And the picture thread is fun, because you can see all the cuties. Forever proving that nerdy =/= unattractive.
