Look, my cat! I'm really kind of addicted to this 'adding image' feature of vox. It's pretty swanky. Also, I've having a really random converstion with sara right now. I've figured out I can't type the word gum at all. First I typed "gym" and then "guy". I fail!
Last night I was hanging out with a couple of friends and we were talking about an array of topics. My friend Lauren has come up with a new term. She labels people cucumbers who deal with their problems internally or just brush them off. I'm not sure where the term comes from, but she said she imagines people (most of her friends) with these green complexions walking around.
Supposedly I'm the epitome of a cucumber because I have a philosophy that states: If something happens to you that won't be affecting you in ten years you probably shouldn't worry too much about said problem at the time. This mainly helps me deal with rejectioins and people snubbing me because chances are I won't be affected by those actions ten years down the road. Occurances like losing one's job, or a limb, or developing cancer would be stuff to worry about because those will definitely affect one's life in ten years. Cucumbers are notorious for being emotional husks. They don't let everyone see their emotions. They don't wear their heart crap on their sleeves. I'm like this, and I'm rather proud. This isn't to say I don't know how to share my emotions. I'm just not so free with them (especially around acquantinces or people I don't know well). I find it easier, and less burdensome.
Also, thanks goes out to the people who have added me to their neighborhoods! I feel special!
