That competitive friendlyness

When people are competeing against each other even though they are friends it can be sort of funny to watch. Its a completely new situation then any other situation.

It starts out with the typical "hello's" possibly a "how are you doing?"although since they are competing neither would give a response indicating that they are bad off in anyway. And if it's on a field or someplace where they can move away it will often end here and each will go talk to a team mate, or some one they don't perceive as a threat or someone who will increase there chances of winning. But when the two are kept in close corridors it has to keep going as neither wants to be considered impolite for letting the conversation drop. You make casual conversation, nothing too deep, and almost definitely not about what you are competing for. Generally you can tell too, by the way someone talks to you if they think you are a threat to them or not.
Just watch next time your in the situation. It's quite interesting.

Weekend and observance

She sits with the group, just like she belongs. Perfectly normal. But upon closer examination, even from afar you can tell she isn’t really.

It may be hard to tell at first if she isn’t part of the group because of her choice, or not, but the eyes give it away. They stay steady straight ahead, following the people that walk by. They wander over to the group across the hallway, and a slight smile spreads across her face as a joke is made. Made in that other group. The little signs give it away that she wishes she was there, across the hall.

Her friends talk on, assuming she is the quiet one like always. What they don’t realize is that she isn’t really quiet, she just likes to listen, but give her the chance to talk, especially about something she enjoys and she could go on for hours.

She rejoins the conversation for a bit, but again her gaze drifts away. This time not following people, but lost with in her self. Clearly pondering deeper thoughts then are currently being discussed in the circle. A smile shows on her face as someone makes a joke in the group, but it isn’t a true smile, nor as big as the other members.


I don’t know why I wrote this. I don’t really feel this way. Sure maybe somedays, but not usually. Not today I don’t think. Just something to ponder. It’s amazing how much you can learn about someone from there body language.

This past weekend was fun. LOCK-IN! I pulled off not sleeping for 24 hours. And I must say that talent show was so-proooo!! Made it especially good after we spent a good three hours getting everything to work and it turned out great! ;P

Managed to injury myself again ☺ Don’t even know how this time. I just couldn’t bend my right wrist down all weekend though and it was a little sore. Much better today, I’ve been stretching it, but the trainers don’t have a clue, so they just wrapped it for me for practice Monday.

Hopefully the rest of the week will be good ☺
