(warning, possibly very disjointed musings) (also, check last entry. The people I needed to read that quite obviously did not)

I've been thinking a little, recently. Just about random things, about me, how things have been going recently. And I had a strange, somewhat paradoxial realization. Over the last few weeks, I've had a number of very social moments, at least for me, where I actually go out and spend time and make friends, and talk to them, but at the same time, I've been pulling more into myself in the stretches inbetween, becoming more reclusive. It's not depression, or stress or anything...I think....it's probably closer to apathy, really. I'm heading back to the way I used to be in elementary school and middle school, that maybe two or three people reading this remember at all - where I basically just don't care enough to reach out to the rest of the world, and be content alone, with my music and my reading, as, as it's always been, most of the world doesn't exactly reach out to me ^^

*sigh* Some part of me realizes this is probably not a good thing, but the rest of me can't really bring itself to be terribly upset. This whole ramble is probably from too much ALHR and not enough sleep, anyway ^^

I'm actually not surprised at all by the first five. Totally expected there. The second half was a bit more 'Wow, they comment that much?', even though it's really not _that_ much, I just don't get a terribly large number of comments.

<3 Damn, I'm proud today. That makes seven :P

But more importantly - and probably what I should have said first x_x - apathy((or 'me' time in a way)) isn't too bad. I have plenty of moments of apathy and coiling away from social scenes. But anyone who knows me knows I'm also generally cheerful and such.

So it's not bad to just be content with you. As long as it doesn't stay that way, ne? I know you probably don't need any advice or anything, but I'm trying to make this more like a little snug and nod XD;;

Well, the thing is, this goes beyond 'me' time. I always have 'me' time, it's one of those things that keeps me from going crazy, I think, because even when I'm enjoying myself amoung other people, I still need time on my own terms, to do what I want. This is...well, closer to true apathy, where I just don't care. And it worries me a little, because I'm edging back towards where I was when I really literally was a social recluse. I had all of two or three friends, and those were only the people who would talk to me, as opposed to me talking to them. And I know that I have some very strong escapist tendancies, and this isn't really helping them...I don't care enough to deal with the real world...so I just _don't_.

Hopefully things will get a little better come summer. And thanks ^^

*mews* I hope so as well~ *HUGS* <3

Mmm...I think at this point, I'm just going to be an asshole and make my friends do something about it, because I don't care enough to try to talk to people who seem to not want me around. They want a friendship, they can do some of the hard work for once.

w00t, I beat out C. XD *cheers*

And yes, reading ALHR really fucks you up and makes you depressed big time. =_=;; I'm glad I was reading it at the end of term last year and all I had to do when I was finished reading for 6 hours straight was to go to sleep. >_>

*huggles Cocoa* I would hang with you more if you were within reach of me... but ... ;_;

I'll get you stuff here in Japan. :D

See, this is because you love me more ^^

And...it's not really depression, and it's not really ALHR, either, I think. I'm vaguely annoyed about a few little things, but they're unrelated to this, and ALHR is helping make it worse, but if I wasn't reading that, I would probably find something else to escape from the rest of the world.

Hopefully we'll have some time this fall, inbetween getting fucked by work, as I'll have my liscense and can be all 'Screw you, family-that's-never-around! I'm going to Boston'

And thanks, but you don't _have_ to ^^

A million hugs Cocoa!

Apathy is fun.
Snuggin' is fun too.

*grin* As always, you're the exception to most of that, being just about the only person who is more likely to IM me before I IM them ^^

:)

Well, you're my cocoapuff... ^_^

And when should we get together? Maybe sometime in next weekend? not this weekend, the one after that, after father's day. No plans that I know of on this end. how about you?

As for the apathy, I wouldn't worry too much. I kinda saw it coming, and it can be a relief for you. Makes you a little less stressed. You know, it could be that now that you're socializing more, you don't feel the need to reach out? you know, the if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it thingeroo. Switching roles....

I THINK I know what I'm saying. Ask me tomorrow morning, when I'm not dying ^^

<3

...Um, I'm fairly certain Father's Day was yesterday. I'm here this coming weekend, but after that, starting a week from this Thursday, I'm in NC until the 4th of July x.x

And your theory would make sense if the social was starting to come to me, instead of me going to it, but largely, it's not. Which means that if I don't bother trying to talk to people, I'm basically cut off from the rest of the world.

Bleh. I just want to sleep and play FF7 but I have school and my computer doesn't like the discs....

Now you are making me feel like the scum of the earth. <3

But the problem is that I have these same tendencies, too.. the reason I don't PM you first is because I tend to not PM ANYONE first. I hide.

...*will go feel like a bitch in corner now*

hmm

*pokes and then smiles, giving you a great big hug and a flower*

Oooh, #9! Score. :D

About the apathy thing; you sound just like me. At times.
