Every day we learn new things about ourselves, recently I've been learning about myself, but through my interactions with other people. Isn't that cool? You can totally observe your life by analyzing how people react to you. Right now I'm going to take the time to record some current "reactions" from some people i know:
Mac"ken"zie- Feels like i lecture her, but knows that I only tell her what I see so that she knows what's going on from an outside perspective. She also challenges my thought process... when i feel like i have not been productive mentally, she brings all these issues to the surface... I'm learning about dynamic/smarter relationships from her... it's a good challenge to find friends who make you think

Gail- Feels like she knows what it's like to be busy and understands that time is an unhealthy catalyst-it's such a limited commodity! She also reflects the drain of energy we all have been experiencing this semester

Lindsay- that sometimes shit happens, mobile media presentations suck ass, and that no matter what friends will still be there

Mallory-we taught a class together for the first 8wks of class and haven't seen each other in 2 months, but she receives me with so much energy... it lets me know that i'm still the same ol' jen, i'm just less energized.

Don- he's always telling me what a good person I am... this is odd... ususally only tell you things when you fuck up... i like the compliments! he also lets me know that i suck at maintaing long distance friendships... i dont spend the time that i should with all of my friends.

Bri- she also lets me know that i get too busy for friends, even though she doesn't say it, i know that sometimes i suck at being a best friend b/c i get so caught up in school

Candy-she lets me know that people still see me as passionate and social and creative. She knows that there have been ups and downs, but that i've still got everything in my heart and that I will try to do what it takes to make things happen, even if it drains me

.... more later ok later... an after note.... I didn't realize that people would actually read this... this posting wasn't put up in a negative way, just thinking out loud. most of these things that i've learned are very positive. Well I got a message from good ol' friend Jack Ass and well, she's saying that she can count on me to have a good time when we get together... always causing trouble... i love my jack ass b/c you know that she always "wants a fuckin cookie!"
