Astronomy in Action

So my friend Zach turned me on to an interesting theory; people are like planets. We all tend to have our own varying amount of gravity which causes people to want to be around us, and we have certain people who are like satelites- who always tend to be by us or follow us around. It's a neat analogy... and quite true.

I'd kinda been contemplating that a lot this week (lol I blame Zach). I hadn't really thought too much of it until now, but I've realized that for some bizzare reason life has cast me into the role of the popular girl. I have yet to understand just why. It's not like I ever even tried...it just sort of...well...happened. *shrugs*

Really, thinking back, I've kinda been all over the board as far as social status goes. Most of the time I was just the average one. Then I was the loner. Then average. Then... there's now. To tell the truth, there is no "absolute perfect" in there. No matter where you are, it seems they each have their own dissadvantages of some sort that make you wish you were something else. Being the loner...eh flat out depressing. Or at least for me it was. Average? It's pretty good for the most part, until you end up somewhere that your friends don't happen to be, and then you're the loner again 'till you can get back to your crowd. Popular? In most ways its pretty fun. You have friends almost anywhere you go and if you don't, you usually can make some. And now you're probably just like "Okay how the heck is there a downside to THAT, Sarah??" Well... don't get me wrong, I love having a big group of people to hang with, but then sometimes it could be nice if there was an on/off switch or a pause button.

Like at youth group. I'm friends with practically everybody who's there, but then there's these 5 peole who are my group. We hang out all the time and there's rarely a time when at least a couple of them aren't always by my side. Hey, it's cool, we're really good friends... Next thing to siblings, really. But then there are all these other people who I'm also friends with but don't get a chance to hang out with most of the time cause I get so destracted with my groupies. And then I feel kinda bad... I don't like to leave people out, yet it seems to happen. *sigh*

I guess everything has it's ups and downs.

And time can be so annoying when there isn't enough of it to go around. Hm, speaking of time, I just spent like 20 minutes writing this when I have a report to write, a history lesson to finish, and a home ec test to work on...oh, and laundry to fold....and a science report... uh oh.

Ha, I guess I'd better get to work!
Later, bloglings :-)
