I Wonder…
Filed Under Jwill | Leave a Comment
I wonder if she’s (identity undisclosed) my God-given opportunity to try to get to know someone for real. My opportunity to try to get to know her, even if it’s not for the sake of going out with her. I have to stop being so scared and stop thinking that a girl would never go out with me. Sometimes, you just might give off that certain charm they they’ll fall in love with, and hey, maybe it just won’t be that way. I just need to take opportunities I get, get to know people when the opportunity comes, and stop being so indifferent about it. My personality requires me to have interpersonal relations. I may hate people and being around them sometimes, but I need that one person…or two people, maybe…that can keep me going. I don’t need the whole city to support me, but I definitely need a few individuals.
Through my time in high school, I’ve definitely taken advantage of my academic opportunities. I’ve taken a leadership position in the school. But in my social life? I’ve had a few ins and outs, a couple outings. But how much do I have to show for it? I have a couple of really good friends and other people I talk to here and there, but I’m never at any social happenings and I have very few pictures with anyone else. This is not to be faulted to the people who hold the parties or the gatherings; sometimes, I decline the invitations I get. I don’t think any one individual person, besides myself, can be blamed for my lack of sociability.
In college, that has got to change. Somehow, someway.

I decided to man up and go to Copley by myself. And I’d say I did a good job of it. Well, maybe I should’ve brought my GameStop gift card…
Anyway, I left at around 11-12. I went to Copley in search of three books. I only found one on the list, All the Pretty Horses (which sounds gay enough) and another book called Mansfield Park. I didn’t like Jane Austen’s last book, so I don’t know what the chance of my liking this one is. I’m going to make an effort to read the first 25-50 pages of both books and see which one I like better. Maybe I should go back to Copley pretty soon and see if I can find more. I felt really hot in there, though, so I got nervous. I was actually unnecessarily nervous on the way there, like I was going to meet the love of my life or something. I need to chill out. I’m pretty sure that lady at the front was a little upset that I didn’t have my library card out and ready for her when I got to the desk, but oh well.

Risk, baby!

I’ve been playing Risk on conquerclub.com lately. I’m 2-5 so far, which is an okay start for a newcomer. Things are looking up with that, eh?
I brought the site back up, enabled Akismet, and all that junk. Updated WordPress to 2.1 as well, and equipped my site with a modified version of the Beckett theme. Sweet.
Hopefully I’ll fully get back in the swing of things here eventually. We’ll see how it goes. I’m procrastinating on homework as usual…ehh.
