Hi.  It's me.  I'm not dead or anything.  Just a lot's been going on lately, and really I haven't been able to focus on what I really want to do personally.  

I really should be working on my creative writing homework right now, but uh... I just had a bit of a tiff with my parents, and, to put it plainly, I feel horrible.  My parents told me they're concerned because I rarely go out with friends or anything like that, and that I spend most of my time at home.  I know that's not the way many people are, but I'm not many other people.  Me?  I like to be alone.  I'm happiest when I can spend long periods of time with only me and my thoughts, when people aren't trying to draw things out of me.  It's been that way ever since I was a child; while the other kids were off playing games with each other, I was alone, playing with toys in a corner, totally content with the world.  I this so wrong?

My parents made a reference to some of the other kids on my street, how they're constantly with other people, doing things and talking amongst themselves.  They don't understand why I'm not more like these kids.  But I've had these kids in some of my classes - they've hardly an intelligent or original thought between them, and there is no evidence to say that they think before they speak.  All it is is sports, the other gender, late nights at parties, dangerous activities, and getting laid.  Why would I want to be like this? I feel like asking.  Why would I want constantly spill my guts to someone else, who could use it to try and make me do, or become something I'm not?  I don't say anything when I have nothing to say.  Even those I do call friends don't usually understand where I'm coming from.  But just short of wanting to find the "right one for me", I'm perfectly happy the way I am socially.  Why should they be concerned?

Thanks.  This does help.  I should probably get back to writing now.  I'm not expecting a reply, but if you would like to, I'm fine with it.  Thanks.

Where I understand where you're coming from, they have a prejudice view against what you're doing you also have quite a prejudice view against others as well who aren't the same as you.

What you're doing makes you happy, what they're doing makes them happy. If everyone could understand and accept others are different then none of this would be an issue.

You all need to be more open minded I feel.
