Reversal

How the fuck does an extrovert manage this? I'm almost certain I've spent more time hanging out in the dorms at NKU than the dorms at my own college. I currently hang out with Bret and Alicia. Aashi often tags along but she finally realizes that I don't have much respect for her and doesn't get pushy or try to call me. Sometimes I hang out with Moneysmith. For the most part, though, I spend the days here alone with my XM receiver. I'm alone in full classes all day. This might be worse than work.

At least the scenery is nice, right?

A lunatic extrovert who spends his days alone. Ha! The true irony is that I'm the one doing all the mingling at big social events. Alicia and Bret tell me they aren't very good at mingling and I immediately introduce them to the nearest friendly-looking stranger. I have ideas, though. Little explanations. Most of them center around the parking pass, though.

Even my antisocial friends have found people on campus because they live there. Me? I have local friends. Lots of local friends. I go home every night and can hang out with them whenever. I don't live on campus where I see the same people all the time. I know the area better and more easily find off-campus entertainment. I haven't bothered finding friends here because I didn't absolutely have to and I'm too lazy. So I'm gonna continue to go to the Friday Night Live stuff with Bret and hope our little cadre sways another frosh. I'm gonna hang out here and not change my ways. Feel alone but know that I can go home and never be lonely. In essence, I'm gonna fuck things up for myself and limit my social opportunities because it's easier than trying. That's exactly how I fucked up my GPA...

On a related note, I wonder why the fuck I'm in engineering every minute I'm in calculus. That's the only class that does it to me. I always thought I could just force my way through the math and enjoy the engineering, but I have no study skills. See this? This is me not doing calculus homework. Motherfucker...

Small, somewhat irrelevant note on hair: I'm thinking I might keep the back and sides short and grow out the top. Not emo-style or anything, but an older look. It was popular in Germany when NSDAP was rising to power between the World Wars. I've had a caesar cut for the last sixteen years. The look I'm talking about can be found on Dicky Barrett, the frontman of The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, in this video. Long on top and slicked back. Looks good with a fedora and trench coat.

I saw Dr. Bassett today. Just walked past him on MainStreet while I was walking to Center Court. The guy has a voice that's dead-on Tony the Tiger and he's really, extremely friendly. It was nice running into Beechwood's old super.
