My People

Ever since I've come here, I've struggled to find "my people." People who are like me. Becky is like me, but aside from her I haven't really met "my people."

Well, except for that one girl I saw a few times at the wellness center. We got into a conversation about our multiple injuries we got from going to the gym. But I haven't seen her since then, and that was a long time ago.

And as we all know, my department sucks. I had thought Tina was "my people," but my people wouldn't leak my secrets to others. It's her loss.

But Tim and his friends... they are "my people." I feel right at home with them. I can't stop laughing.

Tim invited me out last night with his friends. I wasn't sure if I would go or not, but Cameron talked me into it. I'm glad I went, because it was the best decision ever. First of all, the event was a "Suit Up Sunday," and we all wore our suits out to the bar. Um, yes!!

Tim and I sang many duets together throughout the course of the night. Layla, who was nice and offered me a ride home, was singing along to the radio with me when they played Evanescence, etc. Now THAT is what I'm talking about.

I REALLY LIKE these people. I wish they would adopt me into their group.

So I did all I could. Tim had mentioned wanting to watch Moulin Rouge, and I said I was all for it. I thought he had meant that night, so I texted him when I got home saying, "Boo! We didn't watch it!"

He said there were many more days to watch it. So I thanked him for inviting me out, and he said anytime; we would have to watch Moulin Rouge before he leaves.

Next, I friended Layla on Facebook. My attempts last time were thwarted I think because I didn't friend any of them. Taylor had friended me, but because he was being a little bitch and stopped talking to me after we hooked up, that was a dead end. Then there was Collin, who I would rather not talk to again because of his huge fucking ego. But maybe if I friend the girls, who are really the ones I think are "my people" anyway, I'll have a better chance of hanging out with them more.

Therefore I think it was a great idea that I ended up going last night. I still have feelings for Tim; I would be lying if I said I didn't. But because he is "my people," it's worth it to hang out with him as friends. Plus, I trust him not to take advantage of me. He could have last night, but he didn't. He could have at his party, but he also didn't. Solid.
