I need to get out more.

Gar. I really need to get out more. Spend less time indoors. It really is sort of a problem that when one really tries hard on their weblog, or website that they end up not being able to do anything because they are so hooked on making their website look pretty. Then their weblogs become a jumble of meaningless boring posts about how they can’t get outside and how their lives are totally boring.

Last night was fun. I wasn’t expecting to have fun, being the anti-social person I am. I don’t really like the idea of traveling like an hour and a half to go visit a family I hardly know to eat dinner. We ended up talking from like 7 to 10:30 at the dinner table. It was cool.

I really think that city people should be less mean to people who live in the suburbs or the country. I mean, give them a break! They chose to live out there, maybe they have a reason! And what’s really wrong with that? I don’t think I would want to live out there, because I’d be paranoid about being alone and not within screaming distance of the other houses, but that’s me. What’s wrong with liking the more outdoorsie places, if you happen to live in the country…. And if you live in one of those suburbs littered with sprawl…. well, maybe they like having to drive to do everything…. But honestly, it’s not really like they’re any less smart than city people. And suburban livers should do the same. If it really is true that suburban people think of city livers as punks and gangsters who have drive by shootings every day, then they should come into the city once in a while. But all in all, I think that people are people and we should all treat each other better.

    Some of my used-to-be friends found out that my mom’s family lives on a farm. They kept asking me how different it was, if they sounded like hicks, did they have a real car? All I could say was, they live in Cottage Grove. 5 miles away. How insensitive could they be? It must have been because they live on the west side of Madison – a very modernized part of the city. They just didn’t have the common sense to know that people living 5 miles away are still people.
