To Find a Friend

Well I guess it's been a bit of a long day. You know, cutting out rectangles and arranging them in a square can end up being very relaxing after a while. It relates to graphic design and Gestalt (figure-ground concepts) more than you think. Psychology and advertising really are closely linked. Dennis is a really chill prof. He recognized that I was listening to Radiohead even though he hadn't heard In Rainbows yet. Of course there are some obnoxious sorority types in my class, but at least I have Collin, Jason, and now Chris (she switched in today!).

This kid named Ben (I think that's his name) just peaced this morning without saying a word. He just up and left like ten minutes into class and never came back. I don't think anyone else noticed. It was fucking weird. He just transfered into A&D. Well, he was doing the LS&A deal because he's doing architecture AND art & design so...he's just working out his five years I guess.

I don't hang out with many girls anymore. It's nice actually. Girls can be very catty and juvenile sometimes. SPECIFIC EXAMPLE: At this point I don't even care who likes who. All I have to say on the "dramatic" topic of boys is that friends should be more important than a crush (and if it's not then she was just worried that he liked me better). Also, sending someone a facebook message informing you that they don't want to live with you anymore, right after the boy in question breaks up with his girlfriend of two years, is dumb. So I guess she's being cold to me now. And the girls I'm living with next year. Too bad I saw through the bullshit. She's not living in a single. Poor Lucy. The boys all like her and she has to live with the girl who rejected me as a roomie. Matt with the backwards hat kissed her. Wilco Sam kissed her. Joe liked her in high school. She's oblivious and they love her for it. I love her for it too though. She's so undramatic.

I don't need to go searching for love. It'll hit me on the back of the head when I'm good and ready.

Fine, I say I hate drama, but I can be a bit dramatic sometimes. I doubt that I blow up over things of this type though. I just get myself into awkward situations quite often. They're the memorable parts of life anyway. Right now I'm just enjoying the semester, loving the work I'm doing, and I'm not so worried about things. I'm going to be me and find a friend (I'm listening to To Find a Friend by Tom Petty, haha) that appreciates all the quirks and awkward-ness. I can't help the one crush that I'll always have...maybe I'll act on that eventually.


Some lyrics to leave you with:
To Find a Friend by Tom Petty

And the days went by like paper in the wind
Everything changed, then changed again
Its hard to find a friend
Its hard to find a friend
