(no subject)
Sometimes I wonder if being observant when it comes to dealing with people is a good or bad thing. I end up seeing through a lot of situations, which is good, but then I can't do anything to change them, which is frustrating.
Jordan brought up an interesting point earlier. I have a tendency to react to things distantly, which makes it seem like I'm either not paying attention, not into the conversation, or not fully understanding it, even when the opposite is true. And now that he mentions it, I realize that sometimes I do seem that way. That would explain the reason why a lot of people treat me like I don't understand things, even when I understand perfectly.
I think it's most likely because during my adolescent years I was so quiet and had very few friends, I just got used to not talking to anyone, so now, even though I've gotten better, I'm still a little socially off. I mean even now I still feel surprised when people actually want to talk to me.
By the way, I got to see Watchmen last weekend. Certainly better than I expected, I would even say it was one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Even though a few things were changed in the adaptation from graphic novel to film, most of the changes were understandable, and I thought they did as well as any movie version of a book (or comic book for that matter) could hope to do. I liked how a lot of the characters were portrayed. Some were completely accurate to the book, others not so much, but even so it was neat to see a different interpretation. I won't spoil anything for you, but there were a few small things I would have changed about it. However, I'm not someone who will pick apart a movie just for the sake of picking it apart. I really enjoyed it and I'll probably get it on DVD when it comes out. Seeing the movie also made Jordan want to read the graphic novel, so that makes me incredibly happy.
Later. <3
