Rants for September 21, 2011 (Part III)

A few people who I know have been complaining about how hard relationships are.

I hear girls complain how they don't understand us boys (guys). Well, here's one for the books: maybe we guys don't understand you ladies. I propose a solution. Don't be afraid to ask us if you need a clarification on an emotion. I've tried being nice to every girl I know, and it takes more than being nice to get a girl to like you. And I know this. But then again, I'm a social klutz.

There are times when girls mention a guy on their social networking site as a guy they like. I once hoped it was me, and it turned out it was! Sure, the relationship didn't last, but one thing did: my pride in correctly guessing.

And as for me stalking people's social networking pages: it's my way of sniffing a person out. I'm like Jack Byrnes (Robert DeNiro) from Meet the Parents. I can usually sniff out people, despite having no ability when it comes to reading body language. I will say one thing however: I'm not afraid to try much. Asking girls out on dates isn't my expertise, but I'll say that if I have to, I will get the courage to do so. As Sir Winston Churchill once wrote: “Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” And he was right on the money.

Overnight, Facebook changed again. Change, my friends, is a part of life we all need to get used to and just plain old accept. I know, it sucks. But at the same time, sometimes change isn't a bad thing. Change allows us to see something from a different perspective. But many Facebook users aren't as savy as the rest of us,

Then again, there's always Google+, which I still have to figure out how to use fully. But Google+ just isn't the same. But I'll accept it nonetheless.

Rants for September 21st, 2011

Since I've found out this evening that commenting on people's Facebook statuses is seen as ACTUALLY CREEPY, I've decided to start blogging again, since I have an opinion on what people have to say, thank you very much.

First off, on the topic of Glee: I'm not watching it unless I'm in the presence of a significant other. Sorry. It's a cute show but it's just not for me. I find musicals repulsive in the first place. Maybe it's an autistic thing.

Second, Facebook changed its layout again. I think it's for the best. It helps me as I think people take offense to my very habit of knowing everyone's business. Maybe it's tempting to comment on what other people are thinking. Trust me, for me everything is tempting. If you're going to post a status about wanting a cuddle buddy, I'm going to comment. I'm a bit of a loner, and college is a semi-hell in that regard. If you're commenting on how sleep deprived you are, I'm going to be concerned.

I should head to bed as it's almost 1AM on the East Coast. Jeezum, I have serious issues, but I deal with them and learn from them every day.

The only fear we have is fear...

...screw what FDR said. I'm scared of just about everything. All the bad news around us, discontent, et cetera.

I took out college loans for the first time and now I'm thinking that it might not have been a good idea. At the same time my

I have a few problems (do I ever not have problems?), and one of them is I am over ambitious. I'll have more to say though.

Have some effing manners

Listen, I take it as a full face insult to accept a friend request only to ditch me a second later. What happened to internet etiquette. Do I not have any? Is my autism giving me hellish blinders?

And yes, if anyone hasn't noticed, I have a problem with everyone, even people I am really close with. I have a bigger problem though, and that's myself. People don't get it through their skulls that I take things personally. I demand honesty, and if you're not willing to do that, then forget about ever being friends with me.

And yes, people's actions, no matter how small, hurt. And that's why I try to explain myself as much as possible.
