Oct. 4th, 2003 12:55 pmI'm going to write this quick because I really have to get going and write up an outline for my presentation for 3pm. I also want to run to Northern Sun for some bumper stickers and such.
Friday I took off of work to volunteer for the Out and Equal conference. I had fun because of the people I met there. Rach and Amy saved me a ticket for the gala but I mostly hung out in the hallway and talked to people. Argery was there, I met her a few years ago and she had a remarkable memory of me and my life, I was a little taken back. She seems to be in a pretty bad relationship, I think she needs to get out, but I know that people need to come to things in their own time. Saw Todd, he was pretty nice to me despite that I don't really know him. I guess I have issues with people being nice to me unless then have a reason to be.... I was amazed at all the work that Amy put into being the volunteer coordinator, she's very sweet too and again, she would throw her arm around me and it would make me feel weird. I guess I have space and touch issues...which is too bad because in the startribune they have an article in their today about how important touch is...damn, I suppose I need to try and get some more. I feel like I come off very closed and reserved...and I am, sometimes. I feel like I'm too serious too and I am, sometimes. Perhaps it was because most people were drinking and I don't. Wish I could but I don't want to either...don't like the taste. Perhaps I just need to get out more, but I also acknowledge that I prefer smaller interactions that are more intimate than big groups of more surfacy(is that a word ?) conversations.
There was a woman there who seemed really over the top. I guess sometimes I feel that when people are really over the top than they are really insecure and are really trying to impress people. I just want to be myself.
Anyways...enough for now.
