<p>yesterday a girl asked me out on a date, but i intentionally kept trying to avoid the topic so she would perhaps "get the hint". she was cute... but still. it sucks that i'm not the type of person who can just strike up conversation with people. my only ambition for coming to school is to play basketball, and when i come home, i play guitar or surf the web. i never used to be such a recluse before, it's just that i've really been able to appreciate solitude as of late, just because schools sucks so much. i've even stopped talking / hanging out with most of my friends, solely because it isn't "fun" anymore.</p>
<p>should i compromise my values just to be more outgoing? maybe it's just the apathy of being a senior...</p>
