I'm pretty sure everyone is funnier than I am. Wait, this sounds kinda wrong... *coughs* I think I should just stick to being my usual "remotely amusing" guy.

Well, not that I completely dislike voice chats, but more due to my environment not great for calls. One, because I only have internet outside using public wifi, which means a lot of background noise you're going to hear from me, and also unstable network; two, I hate my voice which sounds too reedy for a guy. :| Ah, and three, I can't do calls when I'm in class, obviously. Well, I might not mind occasional voice chats, but maybe Discord, because it has better call quality than Skype, in my opinion.

While I can be fun, chatty and a really lame person too pure to crack jokes that can make anyone goes tits up, it's tiring to maintain such high and carefree spirits the whole time because it's not really who I am. I'm just a flawed individual who isn't ashamed to admit that I have an ugly side within myself. Yeah, I'm too much of a realist to be constantly optimistic about things in general. In a way I can be seen as a pretty serious person, which I am aware that I give off this vibe to a lot of people I've conversed with. (It might also be due to my awkward English at times...)

I think the discussion with regards to the idea of freedom I've already discussed with you in Skype, so I shan't repeat myself here. Well, this terrible group work situation did made me realize that I still had a long way to go to further improve my interpersonal skills. Also, maybe after me feeling less suffocated here to be able to speak out my thoughts with less restrictions is causing me to be less patient to deal with the fragile pride of my classmates, I dunno.

(And yeah, I hope I can recover fast enough to really make some progress on the collab article. DX)
