No need for a Thompson

Almost never have I felt so unimportant as I feel today.

Everyone has their cliques, their "scenes," their fan clubs, social groups, whatever, and somehow, through it all, I get left aside.

I get it; I do. I mean, new experiences with people, in life, in general, etc., whatever, but at the same time, is not the fact of my isolation a marker that there is something wrong with me?

It's a terrible feeling, to be alone no matter where you are. I understand that the human is a fickle creature, but a little acknowledgment and recognition would be incredibly nice sometimes.

A lot of this is hitting me hard today. I can chat and get along with most of the people I work with, but any attempts to actually have meaningful dialogue (ie: the sort of conversation the other person couldn't have with a metal post) end in awkward silences and segues thinly veiling moves to get the hell away.

It's getting pretty rough on me. No lies there.
I did some breaking as a skit during SPL campfire today. Aside from a small smattering of applause, I got damn near nothing in terms of positive reinforcement. Well, excuse me, people of the world-- I didn't realize this was such a pedestrian event. Pardon me for thinking it's pretty cool.

Whatever. Camp is done in a little over a week and then I go back to EC, where I can fail to ever actually see Tim before he leaves. How could my social life be better?
