So I've made that social advancement where I now consider myself to have more than one friend at this university. It feels freaking wonderful. Why I feel this way? Well, I was doing my usual upload-drawing-to-Facebook-to-get-attention-and-praise thing, except this time somebody actually gave a fuck and said something like, "oh you are so great and wonderful and talented and just amazing in every possible way- you should be hailed as the new God and humanity should all bow down before you because you are just that magnificent".
...
Alright, so nobody actually said that, and I may have simply inferred it by extrapolation, but I'm sure that's what they meant. I just stated it more blatantly.
Before you get the wrong idea, it's not that anyone who praises me automatically becomes my best friend (though if they used the exact words I had inferred, I could make exceptions). It's just so utterly wonderful when someone who doesn't know you that well learns something about you for the first time and appreciates it. My closer friends are more like, "oh, Vane wants attention again, MUST NOT FEED THE ATTENTION SEEKER". Which is kind of sad, really. It's not that I base my entire self-worth on how many "likes" I get on Facebook, but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy constant adulation.
In any case, I am going to stay positive for as long as I can. I feel another wave of irrational happiness coming on. Better ride it while it lasts~!
