I haven't written on either blog in a long time... mainly because I haven't had anything to write about, or the time to write it. But now the semester is over, and I'm working all week because I need the money, and working means sitting at a desk with my computer for 7 hours. So, the least I could do is update one of my blogs... or both, if I get around to it.
One of the first things I've done is put together this collage (I know, I'm so unpredictable! ha) that, to me, symbolizes having fun and spending time with friends.
I think that I [subconsciously] like the idea more than the act itself. I say that because I'm really terrible at making an effort to be a friend to anyone other than my best friend(s), and I'm even guilty of negligence in that area; I know, because Clayton tells me so. Apparently, if she didn't talk to me, she'd never hear from me; and, it's true. I don't know why; maybe it's a product of my unthoughtfulness/inattention, but I just don't ever think of seeing how someone is doing or asking how someone has been or looking at a calendar to see if it's someone's birthday (that's a specific, yet regularly occurring incident)... it's not that I'm inconsiderate because anyone who has ever lived with me would tell you that's not the case (I'm a surprisingly considerate roommate), but I'm just semi-antisocial and I hate small-talk. Maybe that's the real reason; but honestly, the only people I make an effort to stay in contact with, are people that aren't trying to stay in contact with me... There's that "thrill of the chase" again... (One day I swear I'm going to put it to use chasing bad guys... eventually.) And usually "those people" are of the X and Y chromosome-carrying, male species... Aaaand by "usually" I mean "always"... I guess they're my weakness, my kryptonite... O well, I don't really feel like dealing with that character flaw right now.
Anyway, I want to have bonfires and big dinners and go camping and take long walks and do all kinds of other fun things with my friends... I'm going to work on it and try to spend the time I have left in college making memories with my friends... 'Cause it don't last forever!
