"Growing up with no place to grow to."
Yes, another post already.
You know, it can be really hard to hang out with just yourself. I mean, i think i've come a long way as far as "loving myself" and all that teen magazine crap but sometimes it's just really lonely being with just me. Granted, i have the cats and Maddie is always up for quality time and Bo will hang with me if i make him and there's always TV-insta friends-and books-insta anguish-but, and i didn't set up this sentence for there to be a but, you gotta love other people.
I forget what i was whining about but Jeremy told me recently that i should make new friends. It wasn't like, "well maybe you should try to meet new people" but instead, "Make new friends" as if it's that simple. Maybe it is? Again, i think i've come a long way as far as being outgoing and friendly but i can't shake the whole, "but i dont' want to talk to strangers" mentality. (should that have been in quotes? Whatever.) I think i'd like to join the ua creative writing club...it sounds kinda iffy but i think it could be a good way to meet people who're interested in writing like i am...i just wish it wasn't extra work because as much as i love reading, being nice to people who can't write is fucking work. Plus i have my last writing workshop next semester so i'll be a little wrapped up in that as well. I think i'll talk to Dave about it-he's this guy who was in my first writing workshop and he's an editor of Persona so he's really involved. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in the creative writing club.
I've been watching old Scrubs recently (the second and third season) and i had forgotten how good that show used to be. Not just funny, which it really was, but also smart and interesting and a bit thought provoking. Dr Cox is an entire psychology book. J.D. is complicated guy who doesn't know what he wants (ever.) not just a lovable doofus, Elliot is another entire psychology book. Turk and Carla are honest in a lot of ways (but still very fictional of course). I think i had forgotten the beautiful complexities of the show because the last season on NBC was so god-awful. Who's with me? I mean jeez it's trying too hard, J.D. wants to go back with Elliot again and not in the cute Ross and Rachel way but in a you need a good conk on the head man kind of way. Dr. Cox is tired and the hyper realness culminates in a horrible season finale that is...a fucking fairy tale?!?!? How can they end a show that was so fantastic and so centered around Sacred Heart in a mythical forest where J.D.'s the village idiot and Jordan's the wicked witch or whatever. Hello, paging Dr. Good Writers!...so anyway, i'm rediscovering the show and it's pretty awesome. According to my EW, Scrubs is not actually over. NBC had just dropped it so now J.D. and co. are moving to ABC. There is potential. I have hope for the show yet, thanks to DVD because if i hadn't rewatched old episodes the magic would have been lost forever.
yeah...so obviously i need to be hanging out with real people. heh heh.
