does this make me a hermit?

here i am, avoiding the ninfa's christmas party at the spanish moon. i decided against going. for several reasons. i just worked the second of three doubles in a row. the next one starts at ten thirty wednesday morning. my feet hurt. my back hurts. my head hurts. i am beat.

but the real reason i didn't go . . .

. . . is because i don't really like the people i work with.

not that i don't like them. it's just, i don't feel comfortable around them. i don't feel like one of them. their interests lie in things like the sexual politics of the restaurant, going to bogie's, and the o.c.

i cannot get excited about these things.

it's not that i don't like to have fun. anyone who knows me knows that i enjoy a good time.

but i have other interests. my main concerns are making sure i see enough sunrises, lightning storms, meteor showers, eclipses, and sunsets, while i still have time. reading as much great literature as possible. writing. learning. debating.

everyone at the party would be trying to hook up with someone else. i don't want to hook up with anyone i work with. none of them are interesting enough to pursue, and random hookups with coworkers usually end up badly.

i feel so antisocial.

is it wrong that i'd rather stay home and smoke a bowl with lee instead?
