I realised just today, perhaps a bit too late for a 24 year existence, that the company you keep can really effect your mood. I've been working here for close to 4 months now and I felt social just today - I was being rather chatty and giving out personal details, chatting in elevators about elevators. I realise I can be quite social when I want to   am randomly feeling upbeat. It could be cause I travel to bombay today.

I also just realised that it's been exactly a year since I last posted here. That's not cool. What am I now so afraid about posting online non-anonymously. I've been here since, what, 2009?*

So about the company you keep, well, if you don't feel particularly *good* about yourself it might be external to some extent... but I know it takes me time and people mean no harm often don't intend their harm. And I am all about the intentions.

People like to gossip, people like to ostracise. Individual persons perhaps don't but social groups can be quite, quite cruel. Lord of the Flies, William Golding, you are a mastermind. You got it so so right.
