Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Isaac got to meet Joanne, and neither side were too unhappy, so yay for friends working out. Food was excellent. I need to learn this western food stuff. I got slightly tipsy (without the aid of alcohol, thank you), but all was well. I think people were amused. Watched 1776 and Monsoon Wedding, both excellent in their own ways. Now tired. This is turning out to be a fun weekend.

Sometimes I wonder if I have angst or not, or whether I've just done such a good job of denying it that I really don't have angst. And of course, one has to recognize something to deny it, right? So do I actually already know what I'm denying, or am I just denying randomly?

damn, all this hanging out w/ older people makes me think about my life.

I want to know more about people. They are so interesting.

For example, meeting Joanne's parents is interesting. Kinda know where she's coming from now. Unfortunately, I think I scared them.

I think I strayed out of bounds of propriety tonight. It's never good to let out the fully unadulterated and slightly tipsy self. Some moderate control is necessary. Just so that I don't scare myself. I'm glad people are not telepathic, it's the stupidest ability ever.

I wish I were as social as my brother. I have to consciously care about people. He just does it naturally.

I wish I was telepathic. When I see emotionally hurting people I want to heal them. I think telepathy would make it much easier. And it's good to let loose. And it's good that you realize some things about yourself. Sometimes introspective angst can be good. I'm tired. I probably don't make sense. Adios

I'm not so sure telepathy would make for healing hurting people easier. Part of the healing process is trusting a person enough to allow them to find out what's making you hurt. Forced sharing rarely makes people more trustworthy, just angry and embarrassed.

It's good to relax among people you trust, or people you want to trust who like you. Otherwise, you'll never be comfortable among your close friends. But other than that, I think relaxing or not relaxing is more a matter of choice then something that is set as good or bad. But then, I don't relax among people either.

Besides, empathy is bad enough. telepathy would really mess people up.
