being able to be level headed, open minded, and possessing the ability of forming a coherent opinion with thought out reasons why I hold said opinion.
These three things seem like they should be common, but they really aren't.

Also the ability to play guitar and keys, but I need to improve on both fronts.

Please help. I find myself giving shits sometimes and used to be so good at not.

I'm proud of the relationships I've built over the years. I picked my friends real well in school and have some that are over 15 years strong. I'm proud of the relationship and live I've built so far with my boyfriend and that I've formed solid adult relationships with the majority of my family and some of his. I'm proud of the creative work I've put out and that I've been able to make it with friends and I'm proud that I've been able to use that creative work sometimes to do good like contributing my tracks to the Touched Compilations for Macmillan Cancer Support and in 2014 I played a benefit show for Pauline Juilet. There's a lot more I want to do with music.

AND I'M PROUD TO BE A BOC FAN, DAMMIT.

It reminds me a lot of some of the leaders we had here in the late early ninetees. That tiger cracks me up for some reason.

I'm envious of this. All my school friends are boring and stupid and I stopped talking to pretty much all of them.

That sounds awful. The friends I made in high school fundamentally changed who I am and I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without them. Did you go to school in a really bad area ? I hope you've found some cool folks after you graduated.

I appreciate your concern, but it's not as awful as it sounds. I grew up in a nice area, I'm just really different from most people, so I tend to drift apart from them. I have a handful of people in my life that I'm close to. The rest are all acquaintances. My trouble is, I honestly don't know if I want more people in my life. I've tried asking myself, but I seem to be unable to give myself a straight answer. :)

If you don't mind me asking, how did your friends change your life and who you were?

Before I met any of the friends I currently have I was a very awkward and relatively boring person and couldn't really have normal conversations with people. It was really bad, worse than you could imagine. Then I met some really cool and interesting folks when I started high school and they got me interested in a lot of stuff that I couldn't even imagine before and indirectly caused my life to become significantly more interesting. If it weren't for them I'd still be a complete weirdo with no social skills. Now I'm a complete weirdo with some social skills.

that's pretty awesome. i'm happy for you, man.

as for me, i've got great social skills and i use them to hide the fact that i'm completely apathetic and a borderline misanthrope. in real life, i can get anybody to like me, but i find it very hard to like other people. i really hate that aspect of my personality
