Aug. 11th, 2007 08:29 amI had an interesting night last night. On Thursday nights I have been helping out at New River in order to get some extra hours. That's the night that they always have programs for the teenagers, so they need the extra help. And I need the extra hours, because I need to pay extra rent in order to have my cat live with me.
Anyway, I sometimes talk to the teens when I'm there. And on Thursday night several of them invited me to the lockin they were having at the library last night. So, I decided to go, although not for the whole night, since I have to work at Hugh Embry this afternoon. But I went, and spent most of the time hanging out with one of them, looking at fan art sites and other things like that. And, I've even been given a nickname, which I guess means I've been accepted. In fact, I enjoyed myself so much last night that I'd only meant to stay until 9:00, and I stayed until 1:00 in the morning.
Maybe this doesn't sound like a big deal, that I've been accepted by the teens, since obviously I'm older than them, but I'm still glad about it. They are the first group that has really accepted me since I was at Saint Leo, and I've lost touch with most of them. Maybe for one night it was just nice to feel like I belonged somewhere again.
Sometimes I regret my decision not to contact Michelle anymore, but I had just run out of patience with her. And I don't really feel like going into all that here. For the short versions, she tries to control some things, that I don't want to let her control, and that it is really stupid that she would even try to control. And, Michelle, if you read this, which I doubt you actually will, I'm through with following your rules about what I can't or can't do with any fandoms you got me into.
