time to clean up my act

“p4p?! When did you come out of retirement??”

I played in a volleyball tourney yesterday with some people I haven’t seen for like 2 years. Two years! It’s not like I dislike these people. I just stopped being around. For 2 years! I think the being overweight thing (in combination with the rut which contributed to my overweightness) made me turn down my socialability and turn up my hermitdom. I have been being more social lately like going out for drinks or movies and just generally doing what 20 somethings do - and it’s been great! I think I was embarrassed about my size, and just generally down for a long time, so I made excuses not to go out with people - people whose company I thoroughly enjoy.

Post-tourney I ended up hanging out with a cute boy, and could have invited him to my place for a couple of pints if my apartment wasn’t ridiculously messy and so obviously rarely visited by anyone besides myself. It’s time to clean up my act. If I’m going to stop being a hermit (or, more accurately, turn down my hermit tendencies slightly…I’m not about to be ultra social to the max people, it’s not the way I roll…) it’s entirely possible that I am going to have to put my clothes away and not have half-read books strewn everywhere and the floor littered with unopened mail.
