its all right, because you and I, we're the same soul
things are going ok here. tonight was the graduation party for my cousin Amy, who just got her Phd, and it was fun, I suppose. Although the number of creepy guys was a bit much, and the number who kept approaching me even more so. I just can't stand things like that. jeff tells me that while I was dancing with this one guy, his two friends were taking pictures. as in, many. of me. and he couldn't actually look at my face. and then he and his friends were staring at me the whole rest of the night, and I saw more pictures being taken, only of me dancing with guys. come on - you're in your twenties, and I am -eighteen-. as in, barely legal. as in, your friends little cousin. as in, leave me the fuck alone. other guys too...its just too ridiculous. i'm sick of people acting like jerks and getting away with it. its a party, and I don't know why the fact that i am young and female means that I can't just have fun and not be hit on inappropriatley/stared at/strangely photographed.
why are some people such creeps? I really don't get it.
anyway. it was very very very nice to hang out with my cousins and their friends. Melissa and I made a speech. Dawn offered me a seat at a DMB concert, which would be AWESOME if it works out. Her boyfriend, tom, kept telling me that it was like going to church. its crazy strange to see tom again - they dated when they were in high school, and he was at every family gathering when I was very young (dawns the second oldest cousin, and I'm the youngest). Hes been gone for years, and now hes back...odd. A couple of April and Amy's friends, too, hadn't seen me for a few years.
people kept saying i was a good dancer, which was odd, as I don't entirely feel that I am.
anyway, it was odd. I knew it would be; any mix of family, drinking, dancing, and me being the absolute youngest in a crowd is always strange.
I miss hanging out with my new paltz people.
I think I sound depressed, but I'm really not. its just that its 2:30am and I'm tired. I should really get to sleep.
yes, sleep is the plan.
love and love.
