I agree with this completely, especially articles on new technology.

I have one of those twitching muscles right at the inner edge of my scapula (at the upper section of the margo medialis).

Even though I've been hanging around the Cellar for two years, I rarely post anything because I still feel like a "noob." I often even start typing up replies, and then think "Awww, nobody'll want to read that," and delete them.

Time for some confidence!

(Maybe this is the part where I run into a phone booth and come back out dressed as a superhero... whose super power is to actually click "Post Quick Reply")

This is exactly how I feel (the minor exception being the length of time on the Cellar and I also tend to think I need to do major background research before I even venture an opinion on anything serious not involving feelings because if I'm not properly informed, people could justifiably shoot me down in flames which would be completely humiliating).

While we're talking about other people managing to express perfectly exactly how I feel, I came across this today which totally describes in words and pictures how I feel about being an age when I'm expected to act like an adult.

An image from casi's link...I loved it! I feel exactly that way sometimes "I'm supposed to keep doing things? It's like the things never end."

If you venture an opinion/take a position, and someone posts the same opinion/position in totally awesome verbiage/poignant prose, you get points for being on the same team. So you, Chocolatl, or anyone, shouldn't hesitate to throw something out there.

Oh, and don't be discouraged if nobody responds. It was read, and just maybe you wrote the awesome verbiage/poignant prose... m'kay?
