I have some time to myself and thought I would take the opportunity to talk about some things that I have been thinking about. One is that I don't spend very much time to myself at all. I actually really don't like to. I just need a lot less alone time than any other person I know. I realize that I need to get used to being alone more often as I will not always have people to surround myself with.
It seems like a long time since summer was here. Almost like it was a fairytale in a land far far away, although it wasn't that awesome. I did a lot during summer including working almost every weekday and taking two summer classes.
Having those two summer classes under my belt make me that much closer to graduating although that won't happen until fall of 2009. One of the classes I took focused on the concept of a Lolita which made me a bit obsessed for a while, and while I don't think of the concept as much as I did during the summer I still do imagine every now and then what a Lolita actually means today. I especially keep thinking of this idea in terms of myself. In some ways I think that the idea of a Lolita has been completely watered down and also includes too big an age group. But maybe I only think this because including this age group makes me a Lolita and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.
Speaking of sexual behaviour I went on dates with six different people during the summer. As Grant called it it was the "sexy summer". Don't get your head in the gutter though, those dates didn't include tons of sexual behaviour, unless you count one of the worst kisses I have ever had (I'm pretty sure I was his first kiss ever). I think I have kissed Susan more passionately that that kiss, in fact I am sure I have.
Out of these six people I have stayed in touch with two of them. One I am still dating. I am also "dating" someone else I met very shortly after the summer ended. I also don't know if dating is the correct term for either of these two. One I have been on several dates with but we are not actually dating in the way that we are a couple... but does this mean we are dating in any other way? The other one I might as well be dating yet we call ourselves just friends. I don't really know what is up with that.
