A man from a large city was driving near Rexburg, Idaho. He stopped at a potato farm and politely inquired if he could buy 10 pounds of potatoes.
"Well, that might be a bit tricky" the farmer says, "here in Rexburg we don't really like to cut a potato in half." |

So I often find either...

YES! This is it. I take it to mean that I'm socially awkward. I remember in that film "Adam" about this guys with aspergers there was a similar scene. I'm not autistic, but at that moment I totally could have been him.

Next time someone asks you what you're doing tonight, just say 'skydiving'. The next time say, 'bungee jumping', then 'cliffdiving', then 'executing a perfect slow motion slam dunk in basketball with beads of sweat dripping off of my perfect body'.
So yeah, excitement is relative... but if you're not feeling fulfilled in life you should probably start asking yourself why that is, and try to fix the problem. Jumping to the conclusion that you have asperger's or you're just hopelessly awkward and doomed or whatever isn't good for anyone... |

| Also, bars/drinking is only fun until about 12 am, after that it becomes like an evil sea of egos and impending regrets. |

OP, your co-worker was merely looking out for your best interest.
Also, you got major Korean adjumma syndrome going on. Go out and find some adjumma friends. A lot of them like hiking or gardening together. Join a gym or do yoga.
But yeah, there's nothing more boring than being a Korean adjumma. Things will pop up when children come into the picture. 
I'm a boring person as well. I spend time in or near my home in order to save money. Plus, it's cold out and I tend more to hibernate in the winter during public school vacation. Come spring I'll travel a bit more and go out of town. |

Dear Dorothy,
Build a big pile of whatever it is you like (you're full of passion), stand on top of it, beat your chest, and scream that you're the queen of it all... smart people will line up to know you, screw those who don't (they'll be few)... |

Yes most Teachers here are boring, they spend most of their time on forums:)
My opinion: The less time most of us stay behind our own doors the better. |

Then why don't you leave this site forever and never ever ever post again?
And by that I mean please, koreandefence, leave this site forever and never ever ever post again. |

| Having fun without doing anything special is a great skill. Personally I like doing everyday things like grocery shopping and exercising more than going to a theme park or going sky diving. I guess that mean I'm a little boring, but as long as I'm happy that way, I don't see any problem with that. |
