L is for

Is it weird that I don't usually enjoy going out with people? Is it weird that when I'm bored, the idea of doing something with someone else rarely occurs to me?

I talked to Zach about this, and while he says it's not weird, he doesn't understand it. I'm not sure I understand it either. Humans are social creatures--we need human interaction to stay sane. I feel better when I am in a somewhat public place. Maybe I just like the company.

When I was little, I lived in a neighborhood full of primarily old people. I liked the old people. They made me cupcakes. I "hung out", whatever that means to a 4-year-old, with other kids maybe four, five times a year outside of school. It seemed completely natural then.

My final project for my high school psychology class was a presentation on antisocial personality disorder, better known as sociopathy. To this day, I wish I had picked a different topic.
