Should I be doing something else?

It's been a bit since the last time I blogged. I thought I would be able to keep up with it a little more often than I have.

Right now I'm dog-sitting for my friends Bree and Aaron while they go to her sister's graduation. I'm in there house...and loving it! You don't realize how much you're privacy deprived until you get into a large open space and realize nobody else is in it :) I look forward to having a house and a dog. For the next year or so, I guess I'll take the downstairs apartment at the Fuller's. That will be a for sure advancement!

Of course I am procrastinating studying for my dysphagia exam. It's going to be about as fun as it sounds. At this point, I've forgotten that I'm actually still in school. Whoops! I'm doing a good job putting it off. Right now I'd rather let my allergies settle and watch Twilight... and I guess blog.

I have a few statements for the week regarding disposition and general friendliness. Just as a disclaimer: I make faces at people when they pass by me without returning my smile/ wave. Seriously, are people so unhappy about life that they have a permanent grimace on their face? So aggravated at the human race that they can't seem to used the paralyzed muscles around their lips and pull up the corners just to respond to a kind gesture? Well, just so you know, I stick my tongue out at you when we pass and you make me feel stupid for being nice. Bite me.

I also have a few statements for the week regarding motivation and complaining. I have come to the unfortunate realization slowly the past year that I am an adult. Which I now understand gives me another level of expectation for my fellow a-dults. And it gives me another tolerance. I used to feel bad for people that seemed socially inept. Key words being 'used to.' But if you're AT LEAST my age. Don't talk to me about 'being bored,' or 'I don't have anyone to hang out with or anything to do.' DETACH yourself from facebook, myspace, the wii, blogging, TV...whatever your addiction(s) may be. Then follow these simple steps. 1) Pick up that expensive cell phone you use only to text 2) bypass the message screen and go straight to the phone book 3) find a friend 4) hit the CALL button (sometimes it's green/ red) 5) Use respiratory and oral pressure to ask the person on the other line to hang out. OR 1) Since you're already on the computer, go to Google 2) Look up volunteer positions in your area 3) or look up some sort of cool class to go do 4) MAKE THE EFFORT and go do it. Please, people. Spare me. You're far too talented and able-bodied to just let your butt atrophy from lack of will. You can be social. You just don't want to try. I have zero tolerance for apathy, so don't expect me to entertain you by feeling bad or responsible for your unhappiness.

I feel like this post is bi-polar. Oh well. Welcome to my life.
