I've always liked my co-workers. I think they're fun and I enjoy being able to talk to them to make the time pass by more slowly, but sometimes I'm a bit creeped out by them. Mostly because they think I'm one of them, and honestly, I'm not. Yeah, our department is like one big family, but I consider myself that quiet nerdy kid in the family who everyone just sort of ignores. But this one girl always tells me shit about her sex life. I'm all about talking about sex, and I've shared some funny stories, but I know he boyfriend pretty well since he used to work there, and since he comes by all the time, and neither of them are very attractive, and I just don't want to imagine them naked. But more importantly, she tells me these really freaky stories, and laughs like it's normal, and I feel awkward because I'm not a freak. I've had my adventures, and I've done some weird things, but it's certainly not normal to me for your boyfriend to cut you. It's also not normal to have slept with half the men employed at our company (there are at least 100 people working there). I feel like she tells me because she thinks I can relate or something. Sorry, but I can't. I'm no virgin mary, but I just don't have the time or low enough self esteem to have done that much with that many men. My other co worker tells me stories about her ex girlfriend, and her current boyfriend, and how mistreated she was before, and this is cool except that her ex girlfriend is a superior at our work, and I feel awkward agreeing with her about how bad her ex girlfriend was when I have to look the woman in the face later, and ask her for help. Then there's the men who discuss drugs all the time. I don't do drugs, I don't really dislike people who do, some of my friends do, but it's pretty dull to hear it 24/7. There's this one guy though, who will actually talk to me alone every now and then and we'll discuss cool shit. He's like this goth guy, who seems very cold at first, but we spent like an hour the other day talking about opera.He was really into it too. It was pretty awesome since most people aren't into opera anymore. I like opera, I don't know nearly as much about it as he did, but I have been to several operas and I think it's a bit of a relief when I get to talk to him alone because he actually provides intellgent conversations.

I think the world in lacking in intellgent people at the moment. I love my friends, but not one of them gives a shit about the world today.There's this message board I post on where we discuss things like politics and world issues, and stuff like that, and then I'll think about that kind of stuff all day, but the second I bring it up to any of my friends I get this blank look like they either have no idea what I'm talking about or they just don't care. They're probably more ignorant than stupid, but it just really makes me feel odd. I kind of feel like I have to be fake a lot of times because I want to make a political reference but I know no one will get it so I just giggle or make a stupid remark instead.

Anyway, I just wanted to post something since I haven't posted in a while, and that's the first thing that came to mind.
