Amateur Article - Harmonious Psychobabble

This journal is not important. Nope, not at all. It only concerns an artlice I read called 'Do You Complain Too Much'. It was written very nicely in my opinion, and the writer managed to take us along through her ride in the 'No Complaining' journey of a lifetime; not at all ignoring scientific facts and important, professional names in the long

Look who's stalking who now. *shot at*

Funnily enough, I never went through the 'trying to fit in with a crowd' phase. I've always worn what I've found most comfortable, I've always liked what I liked (though I didn't advertise it; 'why court trouble?' has always been a motto I've followed), ate whatever, whenever and however much I felt like. I think the only thing that changed was the fact that I went from an absolute goody-two shoes to someone who still abides by rules but is incredibly lazy about the ones that aren't as important (like completing homework, when I was still in school). Oh, and I'm much more perverted now. Aaaah~ How protected I was.

I suppose it has something to do with the fact that I like people, but I don't like interacting with people. I feel bad for the friends I make; I'm not terribly loyal and I have a one track mind (or so it seems). A good icebreaker is to complain, or so I've found, though.

Hm. I've had a friend move up to the Gold coast, another move to Perth and another move to Canada. It was quite depressing. We'd become quite close. Then they'd move - I'm terrible at keeping in touch with people, be them family or friends - and we'd grow apart and that'd be the end of that. I suppose we both have to try better at keeping in touch? Email's made it slightly easier, at least...

I still don't know how to talk to people - I usually wait for them to talk to me, then once that's out of the way, I attempt to make a comment about the weather/sport/some other stupid thing I read in the paper/heard on the news. Awkward stuff...

I don't think your friend would take your not calling personally though. It's not like you do it to just one or two, yes?

It's better late than never; I'm glad you realised! You're a lovely person and even if you're not too emotional or anything in real life now, who knows, with a bit more life experience you may come out of your shell.

I felt, with all due respect (and this is just my opinion)

True that. Although I have this slight problem with replying with e-mails too late sometimes. I still have one friend that I'm in touch with from the old times, one who's probably on her knees begging me for forgiveness, and another who I haven't talked to for... two whole years
