I was recently told by my best friend-who’s-a-boy (lol, didn’t want to say boyfriend, because he’s not), that he believes my life revolves around his. I was pretty shocked by this. I asked him why he thought that and he replied ‘You don’t go out’. I was so surprised, because I don’t usually tell him what I do after school or during the weekend so how would he know? I have friends outside of school who I meet up with, but I don’t like talking about my life or myself because I’m not that type of person, I’m more interested in others.. so he just assumed I had no life. I said ‘You don’t go out either’, and he replied with something along the lines of ‘I go walking, swimming, shopping.. generally things ending in ing’, our conversation continued like this, and he then told me to take no offence of it. OF COURSE I TOOK OFFENCE! He has this terrible misconception in his mind that my life revolves around his, he is my only friend, and that I never do anything!

I admit that I do not have the most interesting life, but I DO stuff! I play tennis, I play guitar, and I walk and I don’t spend all my time cooped up the house as he seems to believe. I don’t spend a lot of time on the computer either. Yes, I like being alone, so most of the time if I’m doing anything it’s a solo project such as walking, reading or going down to the field and doing art for a few hours, but this does count as an activity, does it not? I’m just a solitary person.

I suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder as he knows, so it’s difficult for me to make friends. Anyway, this comment from him has really jogged me – particularly because I honestly believe that I have just as much (if not more of) a life as he has! So I am now determined to prove him wrong.. and is there a better time do so than in the Summer? I’m going to join some summer camps, take up 3 new after-school activities that I think I’ll suck at, but do it anyway for the fun. I’m going to meet old friends and make new friends. I’m going to start new, interesting hobbies, such as photography.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m not doing this to prove him wrong, I’m doing it for myself and my own happiness, BUT working hard on my life and ending up with a more fun and interesting life than his will be a nice added bonus. I don’t want to make him jealous, but just make him think twice about how he perceives me.

So I started this goal… Over a year ago now was it? I can’t even remember anymore. I still don’ have a life and I forgot all about the whole reading/programming thing. Instead I vegged out playing video games for the whole past month. Nothing new there! I’m getting back on this goal and am now attempting to cut back on my beloved video games.. Not sure how I’m going to pull that off but hey…

So my definition of “getting a life” would be to basically have stuff to do, and people to spend time with. This past weekend I had to work form 3 to 11. I spend my morning sleeping in and taking care of stuff around the house before going in to busy days at the hotel that I work at. On Saturday, I didn’t get out of work until 11:45 because there was lots of paperwork still to be done and I listened to the night shift worker as he told me funny stories. Haha. After I was out of work I got a phone call from one of my friends inviting me to a party, but it was a high school party and I wasn’t really a fan of those. Then another group of my friends called and invited me to play poker with them and just hang out. They were all guys from my age, 18, to 25, so I went to hang out with them until the early morning. It was fun to hang out with people I hadn’t seen in a while.

I’m glad I decided to spend time with them. (:

It hurts when people you love tell you to get a life. I guess going to school three days a week and working twice a week isn’t enough of a life. My friend always tells me to get a life. But I don’t know what that is. I need something more. I need to quit the job I hate and focus more on school and what I want to do with my life than ever before. And according to my brother, watching LOST isn’t much of a life. (:

The last week I’ve been quite anti-hermetic for once! Since the house is now unpacked we’ve had people over – two friends came on Sunday for a pancake lunch feast. On Friday night my boyfriend managed to coax me into going to his friend’s place for a bbq, which turned out to be really fun! Also, the boyfriend’s mother has been staying with us – she’s an absolute riot! And his sister and cousin visited also. My main issue right now is making friends at uni.

-Don’t watch any tv forthe next week except for on wednesday (Lost and ANTM)
-Get a cell phone
-Hang out with people who actually do stuff
-Look/feel good every day

Yeah.. So I still haven’t made any progress with getting a life. But If it’s worth anything I’ve started doing something semi-productive. Instead of playing video games and messing around with Linux 24:7 I’ve managed to throw programming and reading into the mix as well. I don’t really know how to go about this whole “getting a life” business so I’m pretty much screwed I guess. Maybe I can practice by talking to strangers on Omegle? I really don’t know.

Also… Linux FTW. That is all.

So far, things have gone well considering the circumstances – I’ve been tied up with moving house and haven’t really been able to make time for friends. However, I had a friend over to my new house and I’ve been getting out of the house, rather than laying around all day. This has been slightly difficult as my boyfriend crashed my car, but I don’t think I could stand mooching around every day.

Today I met a girl on the bus who is in two of my lectures and we had a chat. I must talk to her again, she seemed really nice.
