Partings are always kind of weird for me, because even when there are other people around, there's always someone who isn't there any more, and it's strange. It's easier for me to get used to having people there than having them not.

coramegan was here for half the week and into the weekend, which was totally a blast, because I missed her terribly♥ And we managed to hit up quite a few places, including the Seattle Cheese Festival, where I found this horseradish-cheese spread that I had to buy. XD I can't handle foods with capsacin very well (on top of the fact that I'm not particularly fond of the pepper flavor itself), but I like wasabi, and I like horseradish, and it's a kick I don't mind at all. XD
But she's on her way back now, and I have homework weighing down on me, and I feel a little pensive. XD; Because I believe that on some level, people are fundamentally alone -- in the end, the only person you really have left to you is yourself, so you should make the best of it. The fact that I like to surround myself with people when I can doesn't change the fact that once in a while, I do like to be by myself.
It's a bit of nostalgia, and I'd like to blame the weather, as it's gray and icky and I have to leave in half an hour to meet a study partner. Just once in a while, I do wonder about the sort of impressions I make on people -- whether they're positive or negative, or how they change over time as people get to know me, or we drift apart. Ultimately it's a very selfish train of thought, but one I can't seem to help going back to, now and then.
Because I'd like to think I make a good impression, and I would like to think I'm a good person. But I think the definition of that is based just as much on how other people interpret me as it is how I define myself. And now and then, I get a little pensive thinking about it, because in the end, I'd like to at least be friendly with everyone, but I know that's not possible. XD;
... THINK POSITIVE. DON'T PANIC.
I should be fine, as long as I keep that in mind♥
