Social Outings

If there is one thing that I have never been adept at, it is Social Outings. That whole idea of getting together as a group to discuss previously set topics on a set date has never been something that I am good at.
Infact, the extent of my social outings limit to school and church. Otherwise I stay at home by myself keeping to myself and doing things that only I know.

By the way, if you hear anything about nukes going off in the next few days... ignore it.

Anyway, I figured that I might as well bring to attention the whole point as to why, as humans go, we crave social connections. Well, I certainly dont. Indeed, I could spend years in peaceful UNINTERRUPTED solitude all by myself and I wont go insane. But then again, the definition of insanity is only logistical in the eyes of the beholder. Einstein once said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Since I won't actually be doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, I guess that means that I wouldnt be insane.
I suppose it all probably has something to do with the need for talking and not being a loner. After all, society dictates that the loner is the 'uncool' person and therefore, they are an outcaste. So, logically that means that we dont want to be excluded. The whole idea just doesnt compute (Despite the fact that I like being by myself... It gives me peace and quiet... mostly) I suppose in some ways that could mean that I am a direct opposite of society... The lone one, destined to be different.

Sweet. At least I have something to be proud about. =)
But I have to admit, it always has sparked my greater side of curiousity... I've always been fascinated by peoples way of engaging in conversation. The whole idea of shaking hands no longer happens, rather a unique 'greeting' each person has usually dicates who they are and how much people are going to hold a distaste for them in the ensuing conversation.

It's always been fascinating for me. I know of a few odd people (One who lives near Horrible Hamilton) who appears to be quite different to the social norm. I could probably mention the names of a few others, but they'd probably come barreling down my back.

Big things would be coming my way. Large, heavy big things. Probably desk chairs. Or tiny small needle like devices called pens.

But, as I have always said, social outings simply arent my thing.
