Well this is the 93248294th blog I've started. I seem to have a problem with keeping one but every once in a while I get the itch to start writing again, because, well I've been thinking a lot about myself as a person and all that crap.
After a conversation with my mom regarding what I'm going to do with my chosen college major -biology- she wanted to know what I would do with it, since I didn't take the typical nursing approach.
What are you going to do? What can you do with biology? A doctor or what? Then I told her that I didn't want to be a doctor because I don't like people. I think its the most honest thing I've said to her.
I mean, I'm not a people hater in any way. I love to socialize and have fun and all but I really thought about it and the fact that I'm more introverted than I am extroverted is something I haven't realized since recently. I think its been a major part of me for so long that I've tried not to acknowledge. My first year of high school was spent having a large group of friends and fitting in (which changed slowly when I fell in "love" with my now ex for 3.5 years -but thats another story.)
It reminds me a lot of two movies I've seen recently, Amelie and Bruno (ugg Bruno, lol). She's on one end of the spectrum and he on the other I suppose. I realize that you don't have to be one or the other but can fit nicely in between. All those personality tests I've faked...
Ths is big for me. It explains why my heart races when I know my photo will be put up for critique in my photography class. How I have this amount of time it takes for me to be comfortable with people, but when I strike upon a topic of interest, I can talk for hours. Why my roomates think its weird that I would like eating *gasp* alone sometimes. How I make up an excuse just to get away from people for a little bit and be alone. How I hate talking on the phone for long periods of time unless it was with a significant other or someone I hadn't spoken to in ages.
Its very nice to know myself a little more after all this time, so with this knowledge I christen this blog :D
