Self-pity is endearing, right...?

New layout on the blog, I'm rather happy with it.

Maddie's scared of a few things, which is hard sometimes. She's scared my friends don't like her, but that's just because they don't talk to her much compared to how often her friends talk to her. It's not there, fault, it's mine. I've never been very good at staying in touch with friends, even close ones. I'm really just a very lonely person, naturally, but it's no good for Maddie, so I'll need to start being more sociable.

I think my life right now is sort of... empty. I mean I usually get up, go to Tafe, barely complete what is required of me, catch the same two buses home and go to sleep. It's been two months, and I'm starting to get depressed. I can't keep living like this.

The obvious worry, of course, is that if I spent more time with my friends, they'd realise they don't actually like me. That they can only handle me in small doses. It wouldn't surprise me, to be honest; there's a real difference between seeing someone at school every day, and having them enter your own territory over and over again. I don't want to be that guy. I don't think anyone wants to be that guy. By how do I go about it? Intergrating myself into other people's lives to a greater (to an actually significant) degree? These questions and more... coming to a bookstore near you soon.

Stay frosty.
