its interesting how you can perceive someone in a certain way and in fact have them all wrong. i've been thinking about this recently because my trip to p-burgh shone new light onto knickers. she's a very fearful person. i had NO idea. i think that's why she's so over protective of me. because she sees me thru scared eyes and under-estimates me.

i think that's what it comes down to, we impose ourselves onto other people. i had a friend once who always told me that i was actually really dull, boring, unwild and lame (nice friend huh?). it used to really frustrate me that he had me SOOO wrong, but i couldn't bash it into his friend that i wasn't a lamo loser. but in hindsight, HE is all those things (i'm not saying that to be mean, its actually true). i have another friend who is always saying that i'm adventurous, bubbly, crazy and wild, that's intriguing because he's actually really hyper himself. do you see what i'm saying?

how often do we misinterpret people? how often do we reveal ourselves incorrectly, letting someone have the wrong impression of us? hmmm, i think i do that more often than i'd like.

so i went to fake prom last night. hahahaa. it was really fun. i'm so glad i went. i didn't know anyone and meghan was really super busy, but that was ok. some people came and started chatting with me and we ended up dancing and i danced the entire night. it feels good to be able to go and mingle with a bunch of strangers and have a good time. that is really new for me. i've never been like that before. i guess its one of those "you never know what you're capable of until you do it" things. thanks for inviting me meghan :)

you can be in love for eight years and fall in love again.
