again i go unnoticed (see, that's a song title)

as you guys know, i'm not very good at talking to people i don't know.
and by "not very good," you know i mean that i stand there with my arms crossed, staring in the distance, and not talking to anyone.

i did that again friday night, when somehow i was convinced to go to the institute activity without my usual sidekick of sadie. i just stood there and didn't talk to anyone. and it's not that i didn't think some things were funny, or interesting, or that i didnt' have anything to say. i just chose not to say anything, and sometimes people interpret that as awkward.

then the churchy kids decided to play soccer. i went along with them, and first i was timid and didn't do anything, but then i started playing and actually had a really good time. i got to run around and sweat a lot. plus, i didn't actually have to talk to anyone.

so the people at church might think my name is alexis, but at least they know now that i can run fast.

-alexa (that's for joy)
