Another year gone, and yet...nothing has changed.

[logomancer]

So, here we all are at the end of another year. Things have come and gone. Stuff happened. But, for some reason, I feel like nothing has changed. When I came to Tech, I was an outsider looking in. I didn't know anyone -- or anything, for that matter, as was revealed to me shortly after my arrival. However, I got to know most of you on my friends list, and, over time, I started to consider you my friends. Yet, for some reason, I still feel like an outsider. I don't get certain references made in conversation. When people discuss movies or books, I can't join in bacause I've never seen them. And outside of the time I spend at VTSFFC/Spiel/etc, I don't see any of you except robertliguori, and he's my roommate.

After thinking about it for a while, I believe I know what is wrong with me. The answer is simple: I need more exposure. To everything. And everyone. For too long, I have sat in the darkness of my dormitory, hiding behind my computer screen, waiting for life to find me. I know now that I was wrong; I must find it. I need to be more informed -- about news, books, movies, TV shows, games, and everything else. I can no longer afford to be ignorant; I don't have the time for it anymore.

So, my resolution is gain more exposure. I hope I can keep it.

Happy New Year to you all.

If it makes you feel any better it's about the same for most of the people on your friends list (except for those that live together). We're all geeks, Spiel&etc is our social life. :)

Just as long as it's not exposure from excessive low/high temperatures. ;)

Seriously though, as far as books and movies go you're welcome to borrow books from me. When we both get back to B-burg I can loan you the first couple Sandman comics if you've not read them as well as some others.
