People vs Things

It seems that people can be put into two different categories. The people who love stuff and the people who love people. I tend to fall into the former category. I've always gravitated towards things, i think most kids are this way though. Only when they get older they see the value in friendships and enjoying eachother's company. Last week for the 4th of July i sat with my sister on a hill for about an hour waiting for the fireworks. It was actually a lot of fun, we just kinda sat there in the dark and talked about stuff. We talked about our pet peeves, how to make a whistle with a blade of grass, we also talked about our family a lot. Despite the fact that we arrived an hour early i actually had a lot of fun just sitting there talking, it wasn't like i had the burden of keeping the conversation going or the worry that i might say something wrong, i could just... talk. Since my sister is younger than me, 17 years old, and because before i moved away i lived with my mom, not my dad like her, i never really got to know her in her teenage years and it was really cool to catch up on things.

So i'm taking this big test tomorrow, it's a test needed for graduate school, i took some practice tests and i did pretty well, so i'm not too worried.

What else? I've actually been quite lonely these past days. All last week i was with the really quiet girl, basically we just sat there for 40 hours and coded on the computer, it's actually pretty fun, but it's not something i wanna do for the rest of my life. Anyway, i did manage to get her to talk once, and i even got her to smile about something i said... like... that's the first time i've seen her smile. She almost always ignores me, idk why, then, whenever i try to talk to her she never seems to want to talk, she just kills the conversation every time. She's a bit weird, i don't understand her or know her despite the fact that i have to sit in the same lab for hours with her.

The other (talkative girl) was gone all week...

This is the only time i can think of that i'm writing this in the morning, usually i write later at night, idk if that changes my train of thought or not...

i guess i just don't have much to say, im proud of what coding i got done in the lab, i finished making a fully working program that analyzes data, my next job is to create a program that can track this data as it moves around, that task will be much harder, but i'm pretty sure i'll be able to figure out a way.

well anyway, i suppose i'm awake enough to actually get out of bed..
