MAYDAY.
Things are starting to look up.
I've been beating myself up so badly recently. Over my artwork, my typical flaws and my just plain awful social awkwardness. But today... today I feel... like me. I haven't felt that way in a long time, I don't really fall into any particular type of person, which i guess is why its so hard for me to find myself some days, I'm always learning something new about myself. It's intriguing, mind boggling and stressful, so today is a good day.
The one thing I absolutely adore about the city, is people watching. I don't really listen to music or read books on my journey to and from school. I find the people entertaining enough. Their individual characteristics, the books their reading. The different styles, clothes. The texture of their bags.
I find people so damn fascinating.
Speaking of fascinating people.
There's one professor that has made me open my eyes, if only for a moment to everything that surrounds me. Not to say that I wasn't aware already, but the refined details of everything seem to matter now.
He has a very peculiar teaching style, but I love it. He rants. He'll ask you a question, and when you respond, he runs with the idea, whether it is good or bad or somewhere in between. Responding to a question from every angle is your friend. I want to ravage his brain.
He's the one that's against advertising, but I'm sure I'll find a way to win him over.
side note: he also resembles Grisom from CSI
I want to find a social life somewhere between the books and work. In a city full of hundreds of thousands of people, you'd think that it would be strange for a person to feel lonely. Torontonians I find are particularly cut off from the rest of the world. Smiles are rare and hello's are extinct, everyone has made a mental note to avoid social contact unless otherwise necessary.
hrmm.... strange strange world.
ps. pet kitties for the office (jack and jill) and in love with The Office? I think so.
