So, to start off...Ben, the people who moved into your house are jerks. One of their dogs has attacked Max two times now. No physical harm done, but how'd anyone like being jumped by someone literally twice their size?
Anyway...this is not the happy post of the evening. That will come next with picture from Maine and happy thoughts.
To clarify what follows: it's not that anyone did anything in the past few days or anything that's set me off...this is sorta me thinking, the past few days, about how I perceive has been going on for the past few years.
It's probably all my fault, actually. I was really stand-offish at High School. I think most people never really got to know me, or got a really inaccurate impression of me.
I've come to the realization that summer's not going to last much longer, and a lot of my friends from HS will leave without me seeing them more than once, in brief. Now, I'm not really complaining that I'm feeling lonely and ignored (because I've been busy and having a good time, regardless) but I am feeling ignored. And it's not just this summer; through most of HS I felt like an outsider, someone who tagged along that noone minded but wouldn't really be missed. There're lots of people who act really excited to see me, but after a quick exchange of where we are(school/work wise) and whatnot, there's nothing but a mildly awkward silence. I may be wrong, they may, in fact, be really glad to see me and there just happen to be lots of awkward pauses. I'm just explaining how it seems to me.
In my head it seemed like it would be a lot more rant-like and much longer; but I have said what I felt like getting off my chest.
The happy/pretty post shall follow shortly.

Hon,
If I wasn't fighting a 6 day migrane, I'd shout at you that we're doing dinner tonight on threat of physical pain...I may do it anyway, we'll see how I feel :-D
