Is That You In Your Avatar? Vol. 14. "Santa Claus Got Stuck In My Chimney!" — Page 40

Last post was eaten by the board...so I'm reposting this:

Geek,

It seems like you are almost alienating yourself by putting yourself on a different level as your peers your age though. I went to high school with a LOT of different groups of kids, the jocks, the J.A.P.s, etc. and there were quite a few ones that were VERY into politics, art, literature, etc.

Maybe its just your own school that has people you don't connect to. Maybe think of ways to meet people your age at other schools. city-wise clubs, etc.

GOGGLES!

Wow...its been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....OOOOOOOONG time! How you been?

Akiva

Geek: just from the short time I have known and read your posts on here it definetly shows in your higher intellect than most your age. You should be applauded for that. I think I have already told you that. You have a lot of life ahead of you, as do I and we should try to experience it to the fullest. I don't mean sleeping around with every guy that comes your way or partying all the time, but having a good balance on life. There is time for having fun and partying and there is time for furthering your intellect and knowledge of life. You seem to have a really good grasp at that and at such a young age.

I'm sure you have a good point, Akiva. I am extreeeeemely good at alienating myself. And like I said, I'm sure there are a lot of younger people out there like me. I'm hoping that college will open that up for me. moving to a new place, meeting new people...should help, I think.

But I'm still smarter than them.

Hehe.

Thanks BB2, that's nice if you. I really can be a fun person at times, and my friends know that, but a lot of times the part of my personality that comes on the strongest is this liberal intellectualist. Something I should probably tone down, I suppose.

Nitsua: That is the puppy that looked like a stuffed animal in there younger days? :)


I must be going for a bit, going to take a soothing bath(recommended by Rosalind). :)

That's one really interesting thing i've realized about pretty much everyone I know, BB2. They all support one side of my personality, but there are mybe one or two people I know that can be intellectually stimulating and fun and see my more risque side and my artistic side and my political side all together. My friends get my "fun" side, and my ex...well, he was deadpan as Calvin Coolidge but very smart, very witty and very into politics. It's hard to find someone who complements every part of who I am. I suppose we all have that problem, though. Human beings are multifaceted and contradictory to themselves by nature. You just have to kind of feel yourself out in the end and take what you need at the time you need it.

One of my earliest friends was a guy named Rusty. We lived on the same block. By freshman year, he started to one up in everything. If I liked a girl, he'd have to like someone prettier. I had this friend named Cait, and she liked me, but he liked her. It sounds pathetic now, but at the time, when she started hanging out with him more than me, I hated both of them. I think they're still together, actually. Good luck to them, I guess.

Luckily, I got into the AP classes while he was stuck in regular and we never saw each other. I realized that our friendship was more of a habit thing in the end.

We still talk, via Myspace and AIM, but I haven't talked to him in a few months.

BB2: It is! I don't see Shia now. He must be under the bed. I'll probably take a bath and read some after Ivan leaves.

Geek: Don't try to find your missing puzzles pieces. There won't be one person who compliments you in every way. I've accepted that. Friends can fill in the missing pieces.

Geek,

Rosiland will confirm that that was one of the hardest things for me. I am someone who, up until recently, had two VERY distinct personalities and accordingly lifestyles, friends, even wardrobe and locations. I only over the past few years started realizing that those two personalities don't have to be separate, and neither do my two separate spheres of friends, etc. It was the scariest thing I have ever done, letting each side get to know both sides of me, but it has been such a rewarding experience.

I guess what I am saying is those people that get ALL of you will come in time. Be patient and OPEN to all people. Don't just assume that they won't get you...thats just cutting yourself off. Trust me...I know more than anyone.

I can vouch for that, Geek. Akiva really did go through quite a time; and it was all worth it.
