| Disturbingly, of late, I feel as if I'm losing my connections with
people. I'm not sure what I'm doing, or how I'm changing, but
things just seem... different somehow with many people that I've known
for years. I've been trying to figure out what's causing this
feeling/effect, but I can't come up with anything. I can even
feel the effect spreading to things like Sig Tau, which I'm starting to
feel increasingly distant from. For some reason, it feels like
I'm being pushed away, but the phenomenon is so widespread that it has
to be something I'm doing. What's going on? What am I doing
wrong?
Whee... what an excessively stereotypical Xanga post. Now I feel
like a whiny teenager, but I felt like putting it out there. Take
that!

| Harumph. People overreact. That's all I'm going to
say. Or maybe it isn't. I wish I wasn't involved and could
wait for it all to blow over, but I feel like I have to do something
about that situation or it's only going to get worse, but have no idea
what to do. *sigh* 
Also, people seem to have very selective sight when it comes to the consequences of their actions. Silly people.
