I started trying to write a post a day for the year but dropped off when it seemed my life wasn't doing anything worth talking about, I mean I had complaints but nobody wants to hear those and I've learned to stop unproductive behavior and focus elsewhere at least some of the time. Anyway school ends tomorrow and I'll be meeting up with an old navy buddy of mine afterwards.
We'll compare lives and decisions, I got out went to school and am almost finished he stayed in gained rank and is stationed in on the east coast. A little bit of catch up and then he'll head back to his home and I'll start off to Arizona to visit some family and friends in the area.
I think that spending time with other people is great but at the same time I don't do parties. I never really had them as a kid. As a teenager babysitting duties, and my fairly Dudley-Do-Right nature kept me from being invited to anything major, so when I go to a party or similar event I feel lost.
I went to an opening for one of my former professor's art tonight and the feel is very similar to a party. I listened to her talk about her work and then the mingling began. I feel I need a human totem for such occasions as I don't do small talk very well when I'm surrounded by even tens of people. So a friend is a good thing to have when I'm at one of these things since I'm so used to structured activities that open events are uncomfortable at best for me.
Which is strange because I love public speaking and performance work. Anyway I work best one to one. One me one you, one me one crowd. Hopefully this ends my blogging dry spell.
