Looking up?
The Vienna Choir boys were amazing. As would be expected, but oh my word, they were good. But what probably made me even more amazed was just, how much they were still just little boys. You're sitting there amazed at how talented and disciplined and professional these kids are, and all of a sudden you see one of them making a face at another boy across the stage. Then you remember, these are 12 year old boys. They really are 12 year old boys. It was really cool. And they sang a really interesting variety of music. This one little polish soprano, oh my word, his tone was so amazing.
Didn't get any real work done on my paper today, but I finished all the reading that I had missed, and Emily and I brainstormed for a while, which helped me come up some good ideas. Tonight was also the Halloween party, which was fun. We were only there for maybe an hour, probably not even. Bri was getting too hot, so we went outside for a while and decided we were thirsty. We didn't have the money to buy a bottle of water, and weren't willing to trust anything we could get from anyone, so we came back here. Now it's 1:24 am and I'm hardly even tired I can hear parties still going on below me in Orange. I'm half tempted to go down and just try to check it out, but I have a problem with fitting into social situations, bleh, that's just me. I'll go if I have friends, and then I cling to them for dear life. Luke has been telling me I need to learn to get over that, and learn how to socialize and talk to people. I agree with him, it's an area that I seriously need to grow in, but it's not always as easy as it sounds. That's the frusterating thing with talking to outgoing people, they don't seem to be able to understand the paralyzing fear when you're put into an unfamiliar situation with people you don't know.
Whatever though. I went with Bri to Farrago tonight, and it was fun. We danced for a while, and although I still don't think I'm a good dancer (when it comes to hip hop at least, I love ballroom, and hopefully will be able to start taking classes sometime soon) I had fun.
And once again I'm feeling the pressing lonliness of an empty room, and just wishing I had someone to curl up with through the night.
