Loneliness
I wish I had more likeminded friends. I'm a very social person and it's very hard for me to be alone. I waited for my roommate all afternoon in hopes that she and I could do something together - like we usually do on saturdays. When she finally appeared she didn't come upstairs to say hi. When I went down to see if I had really heard the door open I found her on the couch reading a book. She told me it was a really lousy book (and so it was!), but she couldn't help being glued to it.
I admit, she never did say she was going to spend the day with me. She wants to read the book. I'd buzz around my s.o., but he is busy baby-sitting his brother's kids today. Suddenly I don't have anyone to socialize with.
So well, I went to see my parents. I had to walk because my bike's tyre went flat. Again. It rained and I didn't have an umbrella. And now as I got here I found out that my folks are busy drinking wine and debating about stuff. They seem to be enjoying themselves and I don't want to be the third wheel.
No one ever calls me. No one really wants to see me. I realized that I belong to an age group where you don't just get to hang around with people before or after class. Occasionally I might meet an interesting person, but there's no time to stop and talk.
