The social butterfly
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not the most social person in the world. I was thankful for my apartment arrangement last year, being with at least two really social people, though admittedly, one of them wasn't around very often. The other one was the type to attract people to our place, and as a result I didn't have to go too far out of my way to interact with people.
This year is considerably different; Everyone is a lot more spread out, and apparently, everyone but me is a lot busier with classes. As a result, it takes a lot more effort out of me, as well as everyone else, to actually get a chance to spend time with people not my roommate.
It also comes to misfortune that this means that I have to step outside my normal group to look for friends. When I say that, I mean still within the bounds of the moz crew, since I really can't imagine myself around non-moz people again after the fun monochrome experience that was high school.
This leads me to my point: I have been hanging out with girls. That's right. Tosif Hussain Khatri HAS BEEN HANGING OUT WITH GIRLS. Whoa whoa whoa... Can you even begin to imagine the scope of how many things are wrong with this picture? At least five, probably more.
Ok, so maybe I'm overreacting a bit. But I've definitely spent more time the last two months in close proximity (like within ten feet) with the ladies than I have the last two years at college.
Sure I get pegged as the religious guy a lot more often than I care for, which in itself is wierd for me, but I don't particularly care to not do something in order to fill some false stereotype. I can definitely understand why people think its unusual, since I certainly would be the first to admit that it is, but I do enjoy the extra attention, especially since it seems like my old friends are starting to shy away from me.
Is it morally wrong? Is it really so bad? Is it my only choice for social contact? Guess I'll have to figure out what exactly it is that I want in life in order to proceed without letting that bothersome conscience getting in my way.
