Realizing I'm having the exact same social problems I was having a year ago. Looks like it's time to switch things up, because

As many of my friends flock to the Tea Party flame, I find myself racing towards more ecumenical outlook. People with extreme beliefs that can be distilled to small nuggets that look an awful lot like hate and exclusion make me sad. -

Every few weeks, each naturalist intern takes time off the trails and helps out in the kitchen. While in the kitchen, it is our responsibility to create a skit that is centered around the Golden Dustpan (GDP). The GDP is awarded to the tidiest students' cabin. A few weeks ago, I put on my nerd hat and devised an entire skit Newsies-centric skit. In ( Read more... ) -

How am I still so phenomenally bad at this? Jeez, I've had 10 years to develop people skills.
I would rather be conversing with the people in my living room, but since nobody has invited me downstairs, I'm not comfortable imposing myself on their conversation. So I'm holed up in my room downloading the most recent episode of Dr Who and whining on ( Read more... ) -

My friend who lived in Germany for 3 years never told me that the made-up word we used for "man, that's a fancy [noun]" was actually a German word for penis-y.
WHYYYYYYYY.

Ever since I first saw zarhooie doing this meme, I've been wanting to share my musical tastes with everyone. Partly because I feel they are evolving into something new, and I want a record of it, and partly because I rarely share my music preferences on LJ. And I need to do something introspective that doesn't have to do with work.

My throat hurts.
My trail group this week would not listen to me for more than 30 seconds, and I had to give them a serious talk about Respect at least once every 2 hours. One of my campers went home because he was so disruptive, and 2 others had to call home and explain to their moms why they chose to misbehave at camp. The entire week was spent ( Read more... ) -

Garage sale-ing yielded treasure in the form of books, cassettes, and a CD holder.
We planned an entire skit surrounding Yankee Doodle and our living history projects.
I danced.
Star Guitar! I wish I were better at music, I could have sung on-key for a rousting rendition of "What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor". Also to do: practice the recorder ( Read more... ) -

Ugh. I want to be assertive enough that I don't feel the need to plot fanciful revenge fantasies. Complaining when people I'm not that close to didn't invite me to an activity that I wouldn't like is beyond ridiculous. Just because it "would have been nice if they invited me" may explain why I'm a bit cranky, but I don't need to resort to plotting ( Read more... )
