I is sorry

I did not blog yesterday.  At all.  It was kind of crazy around here.  I went to the library and then wandered around Ann Arbor with Alyssa and Ria and Wade because it was Alyssa's birthday.  So she got a bunch of free stuff.  And I bought a cool ring.  And then I came back to the dorm and chilled for many hours because wandering around had exhausted me.  Not physically exhausted, but mentally and emotionally exhausted me.

I find that when I hang out with people who are like me, or who see the world the way I do, or who just understand me incredibly well, I feel really refreshed and relaxed.  And the less like me someone is, the harder it is for me to be around them for a long period and still be invested in the conversation.  And the more people there are, the faster I get tired of being around them.  That sounds bad.  But it's true.  I actually get tired of them, and need to go be by myself.  And sometimes they just don't understand that.  Or I'm on their list of people who refresh them, and they're on my list of people who exhaust me.

I think it's because the less someone is like me, the more energy I have to use to be invested in and understand the conversation.  So I get tired quicker.  But if someone understands me super well, I get energy from the conversation or just being with them.

Mkay.  Time to eat breakfast and then go to church.
