So the lack of comments to my livejournal is disappointing. I just checked my first few posts, especially the religion one, and miss being so popular. Yes I am being superficial, and that a journal is for personal use, and that just because no one comments doesn't mean people don't read it. I know. But, yeah.
So I gave my speech on Thursday not Tuesday, it went well, people laughed at my jokes, and Mark J. kept making faces so I messed up a little but it was ok because people laughed. I now have quite a bit of homework to do. I need to write a quick essay, do a lot of reading, start my other speeches, and take some photographs. Oh and I need to do some newspaper analysis thing for mass media. A healthy amount of work so I feel like I am definatly back in school.
I really need to get out more. It's a very stark and negative opposite of what life was like last summer. I don't want summers to be the only time I have friends :( I just don't know how I will go about doing this though as, classes are classes, and I am not involved with any extra-curicular activities. In contrast though, I feel very assured that I CAN spend a friday, or saturday night home alone and entertain myself in good ways. I don't NEED other people to feel complete. I think my combination of extrovert and introvert is quite healthy. It's a little uncommon though, because usually people are one of the polar opposites. That's at least true in my observations.
In addition to getting out more, I really REALLY need to get some positive women in my life. It's really hard to have all the girls you know either frustrate you, or annoy you. I would admit that it's just me, but I know for sure that it's just the circumstances into which I am put that makes this the case. Yes, this is a really wierd thing to be conscious of, but it's the truth, and it's really starting to wear on me, making me very jaded and negative towards the opposite sex. So, in addition to getting a group of friends to spend a night or two a week with, I think I need to make some female friends. Soon.
So in summarization, I am still manly, because I like cars and can punch things really hard, but I still am conscious of what's good for me and what needs to be done. (This is a bad conclusion because I am adding new info, and not actually summarizing.) I will leave you now with a quote that I believe. I don't believe IN it, but I believe it.
"Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart"
PS. I just cheated the system. I had another window open researching the lyrics, suddenly I got 10 popups and almost crashed IE, but I quickly alt-tabed to this window and pressed enter before it gave the End Program-Internet Explorer message. I beat blogging level 10-Popups and journal loss. Onto Level 11-bad links.
