GERONIMO!

...blogging!

Um... hi? Nice to... see you, I guess? I'm new to this whole blog thing. Never thought I would because I wanted to try to avoid being a total geek. But then I realized I squeed when they announced the fifth generation of Pokemon. ...so yeah.

I'd say something about myself, but I assume you're reading this because you know me and are masochistic enough to want more of me, so I guess we can skip that part, right? For those of you who I haven't heard from in a while, great to see you again. For the rest of you, glad you popped by. I'll try to make this worth your while.

Doctor Who is awesome. I need to say that right now. Which is why I chose the Eleventh Doctor's catchphrase for the title of my first post. Matt Smith shall be excellent, I am predicting it right now. But anyway... I decided to start blogging just so I could express thoughts that needed more space than Facebook or Twitter offered. Now you have three ways to ignore me! ...sorry. Didn't mean that. But sometimes I feel like I'm being ignored by everyone and I wish I could talk to people more, y'know? And I've always had trouble making that kind of effort. Do people think I'm misanthropic? Maybe? I'm not- I want to be around people, and I like people, but I don't know how to communicate with them. Natural shyness does not help that in any way.

Something that really grinds my gears recently- all those Facebook pages that promise you stuff if you join and invite all your friends. Look, I understand if you get fooled one time- shame on them and not you, right? But I see people joining multiple groups like that. And they keep doing it, and they keep inviting me when they should know full well it's not gonna work this time either- c'mon guys, get it together already! Speaking of Facebook, I wonder if people are ignoring my friend requests? Or are they just busy? I hope it's the latter. I don't want to be driving people away from me in my first year of college, I want people to like me. This stuff about a clean slate is another thing that gets me- whoever says that kind of thing doesn't understand what those of us who have a lot of pain and loneliness in our past have to deal with. We'd really really like it to go away, but it never does, so don't give us that fresh start crap.

There are a lot of new and interesting people here though. Even for a small Iowa college, there is such more variety here than what I'm used to. Girls are a lot different too. Though I am still terrible with them. Some things never change, huh?

Perhaps I will write more later, I am really tired from Urinetown rehearsal right now. Until next time, blogosphere...
