The kind of person that interests me the most is...hmm, someone who would spend all day in the library finding something time forgot, instead of boring typical hobbies? Or someone who would spend a day touring the odd shops of downtown never buying anything? Artists who try to capture the oddities of another's expression instead of caring about what the teacher says?
I find this kind of person interesting, but they're hard to find, and they're never whimsical about the things I want them to be whimsical about. I don't really know how to explain it and I wonder if this half-articulated wish is just me rambling. I guess I can't help but say that most people are boring. You're not boring, of course, and I know some people that might have something unique if I dug deeper, but I guess I want to find someone who you can tell has the spirit of independence from a mile away.
I mean, I get mad at people for trying to look unique and looking weird instead. Dreadlocks don't belong on white people. Having a fashion sense with the message that you are anti-consumerist is stupid and doesn't look that great on anyone. And I don't like it when people skateboard around with their arms waaay out taking up public space and making noise--there's a damn skating rink next to the mall, so go be noisy there. Don't think you're getting complements from me.
I don't really know why skaters are especially annoying, but maybe it has to do with someone taking up more room and being noisier than I am, and showing off to boot. And it's a stereotypical hobby for guys, and it's the morning and someone has to take up the area in front of the benches with a hobby that screams "LOOK AT ME, WORLD! I AM SKATEBOARDING!" while I'm discreetly walking and trying to avoid glaring at people. I have a destination. He does not.
...I somehow feel mocked whenever skateboarders are around. And I just don't know why. Another reason is that this kind of person would be popular in high school, so maybe it's bringing up old grudges even though I don't know who the grudge is attaching to?
...anyways, I think socializing is hard, and it has everything to do with who you're socializing with.
I also think that it's odd that I have suddenly developed this incredible hatred of skateboarders, but with the noise a skateboard makes, maybe that's reason enough. The only worse sound is someone practicing on their drum set adjacent in the next dorm building during the middle of the night. Loud people should DIE. With DEATH. Lots and lots of it.
