I liked it so much I think I will read the book.. I'd like to know more books that have a storyline like this.
I think the actor did a great job portraying the emotions of the character. I know how it feels to be in a room full of people you know and yet none of them acknowledge you or say "Hi' and if they do its usually awkward and rushed like they can't be bothered with talking to me.
When my boyfriend came home from work he said he was going to go out to his friend Jake's house. I told him to come home for dinner (since my father went away for the week) and that I didn't want to eat alone because it was depressing.. but he still hasn't come back and its 11:02PM. Maybe he forgot, but really I mustn't be too important I guess.. I would act differently if he didn't go out EVERY night or EVERY day to see his friends. If I ever say anything he usually just thinks I'm being a clingy girlfriend- so I've gotten into the habit of just keeping it to myself. If I bring it up he tells me that I can go with him- but obviously I really don't want to. Not even for the fact that I'm an awkward nerd.. but for the fact that all they do is just sit around in this one guys apartment- there's not really enough seats and its a tiny tiny room. They are all smoking cigarettes and weed so the room is so smokey it makes my eyes dry and hurt, and I think I get a little high from just being in there- making me even more paranoid!! Yeahh talk2hand I have a low tolerance to drugs.
So I'm just about to make myself dinner... to eat alone.. So ultimately depressing.
Pretending to be happy every day is starting to wear me down.
honestly my life isn't that hard, I can't understand why I feel like this.
