Be Cool, My Babies!

So it seems as though I can meet people easily…I met a pretty cool dude today at Cameron’s (my local pub). He is from Seattle and he is touring the California Coast. We are officially Facebook friends! :) This shows me that I definitely have the social ability to strike up a conversation with a complete stranger but it has to be in the right element so that I don’t come off like some sort of creeper. I have some events coming up this weekend…we’ll see where I get then…

Ok so here’s the deal: It’s closing in on a year since I’ve moved back to the Bay Area from Sacramento. Let me tell you, I am doing very well internally than I was a year ago. I’ve done a lot of growing this past year and have met many very new and exciting people as well as reunited with familiar faces. And it’s been great, ya know? I went from having only 70 friends on Facbook to having about 140. I think that’s a pretty nice number. However, of the 140 friends that I have gained on Facebook…(and lets even say that the last 70 that I’ve friended since moving back to the Bay are actually from here) I hang out with like 3 of them…and not often. Two of them being from Sacramento and the other is from here (Bay Area) but we rarely get together based on scheduling conflicts. Anyway, none of that really matters that much. I’m not saying that I am not happy with the friends that I do have because I definitely do LOVE them. And I’m definitely not saying that I don’t have friends on Facebook who want to hang out with me…I definitely do. But my point is this: Of all of the friends that I do have on Facebook, I don’t have a “Right Hand Man” a “Partner in Crime” someone who just shares my same ridiculous interests who I could just text up and just fuckin kick it with. It seems as though most of my Facebook family has a least one, If not, a group of people who share common interests in bands and movies or books or whatever the fuck and they just go to shows together or hang out and talk about anything that tickles their fancy. I have been living in Half Moon Bay for a year now and I still find myself going to shows alone, eating alone….I go to my local pub to hang out with the bartenders on a typical friday night. Then I come home and drown out my thoughts with late night television or Xbox until I fall asleep….I’m 21 and a chick. Either I am an introvert against my will or I am just so out of element that I cannot be helped.

The Mission:

I don’t have a typical job and I don’t start school until the Fall. However, aside from the job thing there are plenty of other kids my age who are going to be out this summer seeing as the semester is over. And when they’re not working they should be doing whatever the hell it is my age group does when school isn’t in session. I am going to use this summer to see if I can find at least ONE person who I can do anything with! (Platonically of course) Share my ideas, music interests, film interests, views…just someone with a personality that would really complement mine on just about every level. Ideally I would like to find a guy friend because…not to be rude or sexiest…but I find I get a long much better with guys and it’s way less dramatic. However, all I want is to find that one friend that everyone seems to have regardless of gender. Along the way I will also try to see if maybe it’s just ME and what I am looking for is a Mission: Impossible or if I’ve just been inside and unknowingly introverted for way too long. I’m also hoping that on this mission I can finally find the perfect ending to a project I’ve been working on over this past year…

Wish me luck…

OR give me a fuckin chance and hang out with me…you bitch.
