it has come to my attention that i've somehow travelled back in time to high school. or maybe even earlier... who knows? regardless, it seems that one cannot be friendly or be seen with someone of the opposite sex without somebody else assuming that they're dating or "something's going on." if i count how many people i'm dating by this criteria... wow i get around. i suppose it's the effect of people who don't know me very well. let's face it i'm a friendly person especially with my close friends.
i feel like i'm in a fish bowl. i never thought my life was that interesting, but apparently to some people it's worth talking about. i hate rumors. if they were the truth i could deal with it, but it's rumors, unsubstatianted ones at that. i want anonymity. i want to be able to go out to a club/bar wherever and just have a good time without having to worry about what will people think. i thought i could do that, but apparently i was wrong. because i apparently am back in the world of 16 yr. olds who think that rumors and gossip are necessary. i'm probably taking it too personally; i always have. i've just always felt like people who needed to do that kind of thing were just so out of touch with reality. i think i'll stick to down to earth ones and just give up ever going out again. i hardly think people will notice, i rarely go out anyways. but this pretty much seals it for me. i'm tired of it. i want to live my life in peace and not feel like i'm constantly under scrutiny.
a quirky thing about me: i will always consider food a free for all. you're more than welcome to take my food, and i will always assume that it's okay to take yours. that's the way i am. i grew up eating family style and i will pretty much always assume that family style eating is okay.
You puget sound based people are weird. :)
