I sat here trying to think of how to reply for a good fifteen minutes before I started to actually type this out, so I'm with you on that! Shame since the conversation seemed to be flowing so nicely.
I get along with people, and like to meet new people and make new friends, but if I'm not the one to initiate a conversation with them, I wonder what their intentions are. I do care what my friends think about me, and I do care what people I respect think of me, but anyone who falls outside of those two categories (which I guess are similar to an extent), I really don't seem to care much. I don't know the word for it, or how to describe it, but sometimes that even goes so far as to enjoying disappointing them if they're expecting me; so long as it doesn't interfere with me. I guess that's kind of a catty thing to do, though, but sometimes I can't really help it.
I wouldn't have expected you to come across as that from our conversation. You remind me a lot of two friends I have. One's from Scotland as well, and she generally has the same approach to life as you. She has a lot of similarities. She comes across like a *****, at times, but she's a saint. She doesn't have trouble speaking her mind, she's friendly once you get to know her, and she really knows how to stick up for herself. The other one's a high school friend of mine.
For me, I really dislike society's approach for a lot of things. I'm a rebel in that sort. But it's mainly at their views of gender stereotyping and relates a great deal to how society reacts to people who are different. I guess in a way I'm grateful that it's the way it is, and how people are different tend to get passed by with strange looks, and have the most extraordinary talents and abilities. Whereas, most of the people I know who follow the views of society and try to fit in and be liked without expressing individuality of any sort are people I'm mainly aiming at trying to make a statement against. Though, I don't really do much about it, I have to say. But it is something I'd certainly like to be more proactive about! One of my friends has a hard time accepting people who are different, more eccentric about their appearance and their ways of life, and I'm trying to get them to be a little more open minded and accepting of those types of people. I guess that's a start, though!
Say, law was one of the things I was thinking about going into! Law, art, business, and culinary. I went to away for college back around August of last year, but some things happened and I eventually ended up coming back home. I enrolled at the community college until I felt that I was ready to either go back to college where I was before, or go to a different school entirely. I was planning on going back to the college I was at before, but right when I was about to finally make a decision, I found another college that really peaked my interest in going away for school (which is something I plan on doing again when I feel ready), so I really don't want to rush going back to the college I was at before without at least experiencing what the college I recently found has to offer. Shame it's so far away, though, I'd really like to visit it.
I don't really have any ideas of what to really set as goals or things that I'd like to accomplish at the moment.
