Friendships

Drumline rehearsal today was particularly awesome. Lots of laughter and amazing music; and time only dragged from 11-12 because we had to work on our own and didn't really get much accomplished (and I was really hungry). I love Saturday rehearsals!

I was talking to Sarah and Chloe at one point about how, for some reason, I don't generally get angry or upset with any of my friends in the pit. Not once have I been in an argument with one of them or walked away in a stony, seething silence because of something they said to me. I am severely annoyed by a few members of our ensemble, but severe annoyance doesn't translate into anger or arguments, just...annoyance. This does and doesn't make sense to me. Why is it that I get into fights, give the silent treatment, or silently abuse some of my other friends and not the pit ones? Is it because of who the pit kids are as people, or is it through some twisted mentality of my own? Have I not known long enough/don't know enough about the pit kids to get to the stage that arguments start? Actually, I'll discount that last one, as I have really only known Becca as long as the pit kids and she has pissed me off multiple times this year. I am willing to go with the former of the former, that the pit kids are such likable and awesome people that I don't argue with them, but they occasionally argue and get mad at each other so...I'm not sure if that counts. And also, why doesn't anyone get mad at me? Not that it's a bad thing that they haven't, I'm just wondering.

This is why I wouldn't be a good psychologist, my mind runs in too many circles to actually make sense of why the mind acts the way it does. I think there is a section on relationships in the AP Psych class (I'm taking it next semester), so perhaps I will be able to figure this out with some new knowledge. Either way, I hope it continues like this, I love being on good terms with everybody. Oh no, what if I jinxed myself? hahaha.
