Redundant People.

There are two thing I want to talk about in this post people and feeling redundant, yeah, as you might have guessed, this is me being 'slightly' emo. Well, deal. Or simply don't read.

People,
had a talk with a freind from Flekke yesterday. She was down because that ther new freinds in her post-Flekke life seems fake and superficial. I have been lucky not to have the same expirience, but that might be the crowd I hang out with. In my expirience, geeks are less superficial than non-geeks. I think this comes from that we have accepted to be outsiders, we take pride in it even, we don't try. So we are not afraid of talking about issues that might be considered stupid, private, weird and so on by 'normal' people. It might also have something to do with the group of people who go to Smith. Lastly I think it has something to do with me. I simply stay away from people I see as superficial and fake.

Feeling Redundant,
sometimes I feel that people don't need me, not unwanted or hated, just not needed. I know they don't really need me, they'll get by without me. They will have just as much fun if I am there or not. In those moments I need to be alone, to curl up in a corner with a cup of tea and music and just be alone. I don't know what it is that makes me feel that way, I can't explain it, it has been with me as long as I remember. And my solution have always been to escape. I go for a walk, make myself tea or go camping.

And lastly, I am making a playlist for myself, a playlist of my life, the songs I have so far are:

Ever Dream - Nightwish
Replica - Sonata Arctica
Behind Blue Eyes - Linkin Park

I wouldn't say that because we don't try - as geeks - to not be outsiders, that it makes us less superficial. As it tends to, I think it polarizes - makes some people super-superficial, and some rejective of superficiality.

And, perhaps, next time that you feel you are redundant/not needed, do something random - go grab someone, have tea, share with them a book, etc. Maybe if you break the pattern that'll break the feeling too.
