clique this!

ever get pigeon-holed into a certain group? while i like to think i spread myself around to a lot of different groups of peoples, I know deep down i belong to the group of dorky guys.

sure i go out with the drinkers after work and sometimes on weekends. i play for one of the companies' softball teams. and i even fanagled my way into the group of fitness people (don't ask how i pulled that one off). i have been told that i'm "in" with the cool people at work. and almost everyone knows that i spend one night a week with the boys playing dungeons and dragons-esque games which most people consider real dorky, but we enjoy them just fine (heroclix is a staple). (for more references of available cliques see the "mean girls" or "not another teen movie" or "disturbing behavior" cafteria scenes)

the problem for me comes when someone/people from one group are left out from something of another group. i kinda feel bad and guilty that i get invited and someone else didnt, and there doesn't seem to be any rationale behind it.

it does seem like a lot of people know me simply because Stan paved the way meeting people here and when i started it seemed like everyone already knew me because stan had put the word out, which is a good thing, because these days its almost more about who you know than what you know...

but, i digress, being in the middle of so many groups often gets me in trouble. heaven forbid i try to organize anything because i always forget to include someone. and then there's always that one person that thinks you're the greatest thing since sliced bread or tv, but you can't stand. generally because they are either a) so clueless, b) ridiculously annoying, or c) a stalker.

anyways i guess the point is this... knowing people has its up and downsides, but i can't bring myself to totally lock myself away from the world... i mean seriously if i do that how is ms alba going to find me....

  • Cliques should be left in high school. People should be liked for who they are and how they treat people.

  • Oddly enough, I fit into the loaner and dork groups only. Often times I'm the one who gets left out. Don't feel bad for us losers. I can honestly say that I got used to it and it no longer hurts my feelings.

  • being a libra (the balance thingy) i like to pretend i live in this little world of my own where everything is fair...

  • If everything was fair, comedy wouldn't exist since comedy is basically one person picking on another. Imagine a world with no comedy. That would suck. SO in the spirit of comedy, I'll say that you're being overly sensitive. Man up ya sally!

  • I am also a loner and a dork who gets left out. And we will have to fight to the death for the attention of Ms. Alba. En garde!
