It was a bit of a rough day. For one thing, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was sold out. For another my Flight and Orbital teacher felt the need to get me in front of the class and humiliate me. Finally, my senior project prop prototype got screwed up in the computer controlled mill (nobody's fault but the computer's). Anyway, it turns out the high point of my day was in English class. My website design got props from like 4 or 5 people in the class and I got an A on my project that I got back. I seriously must be in the wrong major. In other news, the election draws ever nearer and I still don't care. Besides, I voted last week and my vote doesn't count. Also, the Red Sox are one game away from "breaking the curse" if you care about that sort of thing. So basically, without San Andreas, I had a whole lot of time today to do nothing. What do I do when I do nothing, you ask? Well, I tend to think about a lot of things. Normally, it gets pretty depressing, but that really hasn't been the case today. I'm really trying to be optimistic and take things as they come. I know that what I need will be provided when I need it, and everything has some purpose. So, anyway, I've obviously been thinking a lot about the one thing. But I've also been thinking about other equally weighty issues. Let's take a look at one of the lighter ones, shall we? I think, (and Jon confirms), that a lot of the time, people just don't "get" me. A big part of the problem is that my humor is too dry and my sarcasm is too disguised, which is fair. Another problem is that I usually try and bring the conversation, or a joke, back around to a previous topic. I'm not sure where I picked that up, but it seems that a lot of people have too short of an attention span and just end up getting lost. Darn television giving people ADD. The point, though, is that it seems to some people that I come off as strange, or people get the wrong impression. It's kind of annoying really. I think that I can relate better to people who have a similar knowledge base and frame of reference to me. Even then, though, I don't always make sense. Just ask my brother. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is don't take me too seriously most of the time. You really have to pay attention and look for subtle clues to see when I'm serious. I like to play around with good and bad, and blur the line between proper and improper. You have to take into account the tone and context and facial expressions and see if something really makes sense or not. If I'm being serious I'll try to make it as clear and honest as possible. So hopefully that helps, and hopefully if you get to know me better, you'll be able to figure more out yourself.
