Sometimes I wish I could be more social and less shy. I'm in the mood to be social with people. Unfortunately it's 8:30 or so locally, which is hard to round up people now. Not to mention, I don't have that many friends who are convenient local. There are folks who live in other parts of the bay, even people I haven't seen in forever (like senatorhatty and his lovely wife wildpaletz - which, yes, I know y'all have a t-shirt for me - just to name a couple). However, I'm not the sorta social who can go into a group of strangers and chat folks up. I end up trying too hard to be cool or to be liked that I end up looking like a dork. Looking like a dork is only okay after you've suckered them into friendship. Part of the problem is also my schedule. I work weekend graves, which pretty much rules most of the weekend out, save for the odd Saturday or Sunday when I can drag porpentine up for an early afternoon movie. I miss college for the social aspects. Seems like there was always something going on. Now people have jobs and families and bah. Not too mention the other good-sized chunk of my friends are flung across the country and the world. Right now, not even mu*ing or WoW can really fill the craving I have for social interaction.
Again, not as depressed as this sounds, just - restless.
