i often see people - in the street, at the corridoors at school, at work, who i just want to be friends with. i'm not sure what it is: their look, their way about themselves. I just get this instant 'i-want-to-get-to-know-you' feeling suddenly through me.

I would never go up and say hey, you look cool. im not as adventurous/outgoinging as that. such friendliness is reserved for drunken occasions only.

ive always been shy, a quiet kid, and i guess that label has embedded itself in my head. i always think of myself as that, but in reality, i think my friends rehard as loud, quirky, crazy. its just when i meet strangers, i retreat into my 'shell', and dont say much. to me, im shy - i dont have much of interest to say to anyone, but to others im just cold, unfriendly.

i wish i could be more 'out there'
