Grrrrrrr
Today was not a good day for me. I think I'm PMSing and thusly that makes me cranky and not so nice as I normally am. I also had a parent once again lecture me about my social life and how I need more real friends and so on. This is the same parent that has told me more then once that I'm not busy and how they are only telling me this because they love me. The thing is I have been burned badly by meeting people in real life and I prefer getting to know someone online first because I can relax being alone and say what really comes into my head.
My parent''s issue with this is, they don't like me going places alone say the movies and so on. I am not ashamed of this and it makes me happy to relax and enjoy a movie or a dinner without distractions. That's not to say I don't go out with co-workers when I am invited or I ignore people would talk to me, but after all long day working with people, I just want to come home and do what I want to do that doesn't have the words work or school combine with it and that more often then not that means socializing. But this in turn makes me feel like a freak, when someone points it out, because I chose to socialize with people from other states who share my likes and dislikes.
I consider everyone I meet online my friends, my real friends because we send each other Christmas presents, talk on the phone, they know about me, have been on the receiving end of my Mom Face and sometimes share my fandom interests but not always. I love you guys so much and I hope some day people will get rid of the sterotype that Internet lovers all live in their parents basement and only eat junk food. I happen to love carrots and apple juice for a snack thank you.
On the plus side I e-mailed John Barrowman to tell him I liked his newest book. If he replies or contacts me I'll squee on here, but I don't hold out hope.
Peace out.
