School's out. So I guess I'm a junior now. That's weird.
Wednesday and Thursday were finals. I only had two actual tests (math and Latin) and I'm pretty sure I did pretty terribly on both of them. But at this point, I'm just glad to have them overwith. I never have to see Special K again. In fact, I think next year I'm going to purposely avoid his hallway so I don't even have to look at him.
Anyway, Wednesday I went downtown with Dave and Molly. That was pretty awesome socially. I mean, we talked for hours, and about somewhat serious stuff. We talked about music (of course) but eventually we started talking about our personality types and personality flaws, which got us talking about the way we interact with people. It is weird to talk to people about how weird you are when it comes to connecting with people, and feel like you are connecting. But that's what it was like. It turns out all three of us feel we have no intuitive sense of how to be social, and that we've had to figure it out based on what other people do. All three of us have a hard time keeping friends too - we just feel close to whoever we talk to on a regular basis, and once we don't talk to them, we don't feel close to them anymore.
"Like Emma and Helen," said Molly. "Now that I don't see them, I feel like I don't... like them anymore."
This took me by surprise a little. With me, it's not quite to that extent. I wanted to say, "You don't like them?" But I didn't.
I guess if figures that we have similar problems when it comes to social interaction - Molly and I are both INTJs, and Dave's an INTP. We were talking about it, and we decided that most of our friends are probably NTs of some sort. I know Julian and Adam are INTP, and I'd be willing to bet that Tom is an ENTP.
(click for the test, if you don't know what I'm talking about. It's quite fascinating.)
I also found out that Molly thinks that Adam's away messages are obnoxious and emo, (thank you!) and that Kevin and Hattie bother both of them as much as they bother me.
"Excuse my language," said Molly, "But he's just her bitch. It's funny - I was talking to Jenn about it, and she was like, 'Yeah - Kevin is Hattie's bitch almost to the same extent that Sam is my bitch.'"
We all laughed. "That's terrible," I said.
"It's true," said Dave. Jenn and Sam have broken up and gotten back together three or four times. Sam is very quiet, and does not seem to be the kind of person who can handle this. Whenever they break up, he is unable to function. But he keeps taking her back, and when they're together, it is clear that he absolutely worships her.
"Why is it that all highschool relationships are like that?" I said. "And it's always the guy too. I mean, Tom was Katherine's bitch..."
"...Adam was kind of Ivy's bitch..." said Molly.
"That he was," I said quietly.
"I can think of a case where it's the girl," said Dave.
We looked at him. "...And that is...?"
"I'll give you a hint:" He used his hands to indicate a tall skinny person, and then a short fat person. We laughed again, even though it shouldn't have been funny. Of course. Greg and Ani.
"Man, they need help."
Later, Molly's mention of Adams emo-ness led to a "Are you still friends with him? I kind of can't tell."
"Um... Kind of. We talk to each other when it would be awkward if we didn't. We're just kind of diplomatic."
"Yeah, I kind of got the feeling it was like that... Are you still friends with him?" she asked Dave.
"Not really, actually. Now it's just kind of like... He thinks we're friends, but I just find him really annoying."
I wanted to give him a hug, mostly because I'm pretty sure - or at least, I would like to think - that this change in attitude has something to do with us breaking up. I was like, "Aw. My friends are standing by me."
"Well, I never liked him," said Molly, as if that settled the matter. Later, when we were sitting in Breugers talking (which we did for a good hour and a half) Adam was in the next store, and we had a whole "do you think Adam's going to come over and try to talk to us? I hope not" conversation. Even though I actually still enjoy talking to Adam occasionally, this was another "Aw, my friends are standing by me" moment.
So yeah, good times being obnoxious and gossipy.
After Dave went back to school (he had another exam) I walked home with Molly. She talked about being depressed, and it turns out that she gets depressed in almost the exact same way I get depressed. When we got to her house, we just hung around with her older sister (who looks almost exactly like her and is really weird) and played cards, and they burned me a Unicorns CD, which I forgot at their house. Then her sister drove me home.
Wow. That was the best time I've had in a while. I guess they're definitely my best friends. I mean, since apparently we are almost exactly the same people. It's weird, really, how much we have in common. Huh.
