The being social theory

In the past, whenever I have written about not having anything to talk about because there is nothing really going on in life, I have ended up having way too much going on. But, that still doesn’t stop me from writing about nothing going on.

So there really isn’t anything going on in life. I try to keep it that way by not getting into arguments with anyone, watching what I say, and spending time with a lot of friends I am not very close to, but friendly enough to spend time with.

(Oh and obsessing over some shows that are classified as ‘trashy’, not Jersey Shore though)

Now, I have theory (like the million others I have) about managing your social circle in a way so that when you are vacationing to the core (3 months or more) and have nothing to do, you don’t get into trouble with people and hence don’t kill yourself over small things.

I have realized meeting my friends in moderation works beautifully. I know I need to meet people, to keep myself occupied, but I also know that I can not meet the same people everyday, because then inevitably I’ll get into a situation where there will be some sort of argument or disagreement. Also, that will make me depend on their schedule, since I don’t have a schedule for 45 more days. So, I meet people, I socialize, but I mix it up, so that they do not get bored of seeing me, and I can keep in touch with as many people as I can while I can.

I am by no means an introvert, I like making plans with people, just meeting up with them, initiating a hang out session, so this works for me. I have made more girl friends in the past 2 months, than I ever did all five years of college, and I love it. I see them over coffee, dinner, lunch, drinks, and talk about boys (duh!), shoes, clothes, shows and everything that keeps us occupied. There are no serious talks, just laughs and giggles, and I come home without much to ponder over.

Being social is my thing, but that has gotten me into way too many things, and right now, I just can’t afford to think about things that make me restless, so my theory works, at least for me. I know I can’t be best friends with everyone, but I know I can call these people when I need to just get out of the house and chill.

And finally being social kinda does include twitter and Facebook. It’s some harmless interaction with people you hardly see, and will never see and a way too keep up with all the gossip and news floating around.

So not that you all are wondering how I pass my time, but I thought I’ll update everyone.

P.S: Talking to random celebrities and actually getting a reply from them is also kinda my new thing. (Even if it yells the fact that I have no life)
