You know I love you right? So don't take this the wrong way:
Let me get this straight. You put all of this in a video, subsequently put this on a public channel for the world to see...and you think you have bad social anxiety? I have to meet the first person that feels comfortable in a situation you described. You probably could not tell I feel that way on parties but I do too. Ad to that being alone with that gift. Kudos to you.
You are crazy, but the good kind of crazy. Don't go changing.
@PuppyZwolle It's a lot easier to do this than to actually talk to people face to face and interact with them. Plus, I'm considerably shorter than many people here and I only have about 40% the hearing of an average person, so it's hard to hear people unless I'm basically cheek to cheek with them. I'm often guessing what people are saying unless English isn't their first language. When that's the case, people usually are more aware of how they're speaking and are easier to understand.
@PuppyZwolle Everyone's loving the fleshlight. That thing is so weird. I took it out of the casing to look at it, and it's even weirder that way. My hand felt so soft after touching it, though. It's heavy too!
I used to subconsciously squeeze my arm at social gatherings, but I started getting bruises there so I had to make myself aware of it. If I'm going to a place where no one knows anyone else I'm ok; we're all on equal ground. Otherwise, I try to avoid social gatherings.
Elijah Wood would have loved you(and your story). Maybe you should write him a letter with 'a link' to this video. With his sense of humor you probably will get a video response from him....Now THAT would confirm he's you Nemesis wouldn't it?
And remember:
There is such a thing as coincidence, but it's to rare to ever suspect you actually experienced one.
Hahaha when you said "He reminded me of you" I thought me?! and then you said you Adam! and I lost it, I felt like you invaded my mind.... Elijah Wood is a scary nemesis.... haven't you seen sin city?! Of course you stuck a finger in the flesh light.... what an odd thing to give out at a (non adult) film fest!
@UnityPhreak I Elijahed your mind, Adam. I had no idea how expensive those fleshlights are! Holy crap! Quality materials. It was a tie-in to one of the films being shown along with a vibrating bullet and lube. I think the bullet was a pity prize for we ladies of the audience so we didn't feel left out. It's in my nightstand.
Yeah I can sympathize with your social anxiety. I hate when I'm invited to a party and then I get there and only know one person...the person who invited me , and they refuse to introduce me to anyone. The insight on the fleshlight was very interesting lol. Oh and also I just want to throw this out there, but I have a unparalleled amount of envy toward you, for being able to go to such a exciting event.
@Yarrum13 I hate that. If I'm introduced to a person, I almost attach myself to them, but then I don't want to appear clingy, so I'll make a sudden departure often leaving the person confused. If they later seek me out again then it's ok.
@schatze78 I will for sure have to look into it. It sounds like you had a smashing time. If only we had such exciting things like that here in "small town" Halifax. Oh and I'm also envious that you have Elijah Wood as your nemesis. I need to find myself a nemesis of equal value, like Micheal Cera mind you I feel like he might be to many people's nemeses. And I just can't imagine him saying I would rue the day I ever messed with him.
@Yarrum13 The guy next to me who gave me his fleshlight, he's from Halifax. Jason Eisner was on his flight. He was saying when he saw him, he was thinking, "could he be here for BNAT? No! Yes?" He couldn't say who he saw on the plane so as to not ruin the surprise. No one knows what's going to be shown until it's being introduced just prior to its screening. People from all over the world come for BNAT. It's a beautiful thing. I feel like The Monarch when it comes to EW, but without gadgets :(
@schatze78 I have mixed feelings on Jason Eisner a little. The reason for that is, as it turns out he teaches classes at my University. It's not that I've taken film production classes, but a few of my friends had. And the only reason they had took it was to learn from him, just to have him leave after two weeks to make his film. Any who, I think I'll try and make it next year to the BNAT.
@Jannabelle126 Haha, I'm glad you did. I'm going to have to watch it because I have no idea what I said and didn't play it back prior to uploading. I just hit record and started talking :-p
@culwin I just looked it up and had no idea they were so expensive! My gosh! I have no idea where to put it. Just my luck the lights would go out, and my parents would look for a flashlight on their visit and grab that instead. That would make for awkward dinner conversation.
Whose the guy with the name? now i cant stop thinking about it... I often have dreams like that to, a famous person just pops up for a chat.

Interesting that you would dream about "Elijah Wood" and then your friends hangout with him! Maybe you have ESP? :-)
