Things that have annoyed me today:
1. people coming into Brook and I's room and commenting on how messy it is. Do they do this when they enter other people's homes? Does no one realize that's super rude, unless you're a mother figure? Next time I go into Amy's room I'm just going to yell that it's too clean and I can't be in there anymore. Jeez Louise.
2. people who come to concerts super drunk and make out/grind for the entire show and are icky.
3. how awesome The Black Keys are. Seriously. So awesome. My brain hurts.

So, I think I have figured out my problem.
Recently I have joined a bunch of groups because I'm finding things I enjoy and doing them. Which seems awesome, and I'm all excited about it, until I remember how ridiculously awkward I am and the fact that there are people in these groups who I don't know, that I will have to make friends with while pretending to be a normal person. No easy feat. So I tend to skulk at meetings, in the back, or leave early because I hate having to put myself out there.
And I have figured out why: I think I come from a place where I assume people don't like me. Which, you know, is totally great when they do, then it's like this great surprise, hey, someone thinks I'm great, and if they don't then really, I never expected them to anyway. The problem is when I am forced to meet and greet I assume I shouldn't bother people and should just leave them to their lives. I need to get over this. I blame a childhood of being too well-read for my own good and not having very many friends.

Quickly Approaching Critical Mass
I wish I had a clear vision for my future. Sometimes I think I want to be a teacher, or an academic, or a mom. Or all three. And I just don't know how good I am at balancing. And then I see seniors and while they are not that much different from me, they seem to have more of an idea of who they are and what they are doing.
I hope that comes with time, but the coming of age movies tell me it doesn't.
I just hope I don't get married right out of college.
