I actually meant to unplug my computer and pack it up, but instead talked myself into signing online, which led to looking at my blog, which led to clicking on the "next blog" button at the top-right corner of screen, and after that it was all down hill. I kept on clicking it and read like 10-15 random pages. That's going to be so distracting for me when I should be studying. Anyway, all that reading inspired me write something myself just before my computer is turned off for the first time in over a week.

Here's my random thought: Say you meet someone new and you really want to be friends with that person. I'd say there are multiple levels of friendship, but just to break it down into two, you could classify them as people you know on a surface level that just see the outside you, the part you choose to show others, and the other group of people who really know you, the ones who aren't fooled by any facade you may put on. How does a person move from one group to the other? I guess time would be the best answer. Passage of time, trust, time spent together, and openness on the part of both to get to know each other better. What if there is someone you would like to really get to know the real you, not just the general one everybody knows? How do you go about doing that? Just wait and let time take its toll? What if you take a leap and try to show the person the whole you and they don't seem interested, or worse, reject it completely? What if this person just doesn't care or doesn't want to know or doesn't even try to pretend to be interested? That thought is terrifying. How do you know if someone is really interested or just being polite or only pretending? I guess there's no way to know, not without being able to read people's minds. It sure is maddening trying to figure it out though. Sorry my last post from home was so depressing.

I think what I really meant to say is, is it possible to let someone know too much about you so that it turns them away from you? I don't really expect anyone to answer that.
