23:04 - no one

@monkey only a mad person with friends would say such nonsense

21:49 - VileVick

I use AOTY, Metalstorm, Spuntikmusic, and RYM for different Perspective on music. Once in a while I'll go to Metal Archive too.

21:46 - VileVick

I guess I can respect how yall want to maintain the site and not make it to popular it. Have a little bit of that unpopular black metal influence to it tehe.

21:12 - Anghellic67

Friends aren't the problem, I'm just lazy and want comfort. Old man talking, I know.

21:10 - Anghellic67

I just skipped summer cottage weekend with friends to stay home and experiment gin mixed drinks. 😅

20:52 - ANGEL REAPER

..on related note I have this strange "gift" to get strangers overshare their "secrets" with me just by talking with them. Strangest info I got this way was from police detective conducting raid on my neighbor...it is really odd

20:48 - ANGEL REAPER

@no one actually I am really good with people, like I can have a good sales pitch or long conversations with strangers and am not introvert for sure. but man I can't really list anyone I know as a friend tbh.
