I confess that I have yet to see Star Wars (any of them); the only reason I know what an Ewok is is because my mother adores any fuzzy creature that's not liable to tear her ankles off without being provoked. I have seen an hour and half tape on the making of the light saber scene on the lava planet; that's the closest I've ever seen to it.
I confess I am seemingly unable to concentrate lately; I can't seem to get things done, even if I understand them and/or they're incredibly easy.
I also confess that there are a bunch of confessions that I've been mentally writing over the past few days; I planned to write them here as well, so we'll see whether or not they're beyond my attention span as well.
I confess that I've managed to find a table entirely by myself for lunch, at least for now; for a time, I sat in the courtyard, which is significantly less crowded and, if you can ignore the wayward Frisbees, significantly more peaceful. An old friend (from the 3rd grade) asked to sit at the other end with some of her friends, which I didn't mind; cue each friend bringing more friends until it's crowded. One of the "friends'" boyfriends continuously reads over my shoulder, which is what drove me inside; I confess that I wasn't entirely sure he could read, and while I'm glad he has that capability for himself, he doesn't need to exercise it on what I'm reading.
I confess that I'm not that fond of the table inside; it's too near too many people for me to feel any security at all (not that I normally feel any, but even less so; negative security marks) and the tables are rarely cleaned. The way the tables are set, I cannot have my back against the wall; I'm always vulnerable at some place. However, it's "alone" and I appreciate that, so I stay. (Once it becomes too cold outside, I'm sure the "friends" will relocate to that table; I'll burn that bridge when it comes to it.) I confess that the other day a "normal" girl offered to let me sit at her table with her friends, and couldn't seem to understand why I declined; I confess that in the past I've always declined, but I've also always felt some small appreciation of the gesture. This time, however, I felt only suspicion; I'm quite sure she was trying to be friendly in her own way, but it unsettled me completely. I confess that it's bothering me, as I can't figure out why I felt (feel) that way. I confess that there is a kid with Down Syndrome who comes by and says hi everyday at lunch because he doesn't want me to be lonely; I confess I appreciate his gesture entirely.
