i guess this is more a -meet people i like thing rather than just meet more people in general.
i have very few people that i actually REALLYYYY like and get on with. don’t get me wrong – i like people and get on with them but there are so few that i REALLY REALLY like – ya know??
most of the people i know – i could no way hang out with them on a regular basis – most people just know one side of me – but i’m a very varied person. my tastes in everything are so far stretched that – yeah i can get on with a variety of people – but its just i know so few people who know all sides of me.
i dont purposely hide myself – it’s just i never get the chance to portray myself properly – either because the conversation is so limited, the situations we find ourselves in our limited, etc..
and the people who i do find who like a lot of different things are usually very pretentious about – like they only like a certain thing based on the fact that it is “different” and, therefore, “cool”.
i’m nothing like that. i’m a very much, i like this because i enjoy it, i can appreciate the effort/thought/creativity behind it and all the rest.
people these days seem to be ashamed to admit they like mainstream things, and so many are opting for the ‘different’ – which is now just very mainstream anyway!
when i tell people one of my favourite filmes is ‘SuperBad’ they look at me disapprovingly – like it’s wrong to like something mainstream, comical and light hearted. what is so wrong with liking light-hearted things?
yet – on the other hand, there are those people who do not like anything intellectual – they party every night and have countless one night stands.
...where are the middle people? the inbetweeners? the people who can enjoy a little bit of everything, can have fun, not take life too seriously, yet induldge in deeper conversations when the mood strikes.
pah!
