I'm spending a lot of time alone and I'm slowly beginning to feel myself just pull away from people. I spend my life currently living in books, imagining this far off life someone else is living. It's not like reading is a bad thing, it's actually my favorite thing. For some reason though, the more time I spend in books, the more I feel myself drifting away from people. Now I suppose it isn't entirely fair to strictly blame books because let's be honest, busy schedules play a huge role in it as well. I'm finding myself just drifting through this "actual" reality basically counting down the hours until I can return to my fictional worlds with these heroic women that I'll never in a million years be. While it's kind of depressing, it's also kind of amazing. Books are definitely my anti-drug...or I suppose it could probably be phrased that books are my drug but in my mind I'd argue it's a good drug to be hooked on....
On a more random note, I don't understand why people cannot mind their own business, especially when it pertains to who I choose to spend my time with or talk to. I think it needs to be said that just because I speak on a regular basis with someone of the opposite sex, it doesn't mean that my relationship is going to crumble. It's not a reason to go up to someone and tell them to "not talk to girls that are already taken" because that just shows not only a complete disregard for my character but also an extremely childish view on friendships. Boys no longer have cooties. It's socially acceptable for guys and girls to be friends. Especially for someone like me who not only does not get along with girls, but also is in a major dominated by males. All my classmates are boys so yes we spend time studying together or heaven forbid, text each other! I must be a horrible girlfriend because I talk to boys that aren't my boyfriend. Naturally, every guy I come across must be working to destroy my relationship. AAAANNNNNND end rant. Sorry folks, but people that meddle really grind my gears. Especially when they don't know what they're talking about.
