I'm useful.

in that sense.

//
This morning, I received a message that went like "How Yesterday Got Win"
-.- Two messages from this unknown person. zzz
Watched America's Next Top Model cycle 16 until 2am.

Just read How Starbucks Saved My Life and there was this line which struck me "I had called my business Michael Gates Gill & Friends because I was in love with the sonorous sounds of my full name." I think I find bits and pieces of myself in reading. weird but true enough.
Like in "The Tipping Point", I read about how some people are "Connectors" and how they're willing to take little details of everyone that they know of. It takes great effort.
Most of us have our own circle of friends to whom we're devoted to. And then we have this group of acquaintances we, sorta, shy away from. And yeah, I've always wondered and asked myself why is it that we're close to only certain people but not like, the other people we consider to be "acquaintances". I'm sociable enough but I just refuse to and I think I sorta found an answer in the book. Here it says "The reason we don't send birthday cards to people we don't really care a great deal about is that we don't want to feel obliged to have dinner with them or see a movie with them or visit them when they're sick. The purpose of making an acquaintance, for most of us, is to evaluate whether we want to turn that person into a friend; we don't feel we have the time or the energy to maintain meaningful contact with everyone."

Perhaps. but well, at least now I wouldn't think I'm too weird for pondering about such. issues.
(So now you sorta have a rough idea what sort of thoughts I have in my head and I know. I think I'm weird too. hah.)

zzz. Not really in the right mood today. bye. haveaniceday~
