Bricks, and Being Serious

Okay so someone noticed that I hadn't been posting in a while, so now I am! So today I shall be somewhat serious (or as serious I can be) And I know that is hard to fathom, because there is a picture of a brick with arms and legs in the middle of the post, but get over it. So I was at my friend's pool, with a bunch of other people and we were playing some game that was like soccer, in the pool. And one of my friends (who is a guy) is a BRICK. And unstoppable. And he was the driving force of the other team. So my helpless attempts to stop him from scoring was putting in a head lock and hanging off his back.

This is a somewhat accurate picture of my friend

(On a side note, I have known this kid since first grade, we are somewhat close) But he just kept swimming around, so I gave up. Then I would have a moment that I thought it would work again, so I tried again. It didn't work. (Kind of like in Jimmy Neutron when Sheen became overlord, and when the costume was electrocuted he kept on poking it so see if it was done sending electricity through his body)

That went on for the rest of the time, with me epically failing the entire time. But I was also on top of my other friend (who is a girl) for around a half an hour, just picking her up and moving her around, not letting go. So I was being fair. When we all stopped (my team won by the way) some of the other girls came up to me and said that it looked like I liked Brickman. (Not what we call him, but whatever) Maybe because Brickman's girlfriend was there, but everyone was joining in, so maybe not.

This made me think (rare occurrence) that I was on him for maybe ten minutes, but I was hanging on the girl for way more than that. Yet I was still madly in love with Brickman. No one ever brought up that I am madly in love with the girl (not that I am, but for the sake of the argument). Why, as a society, is our first thought that minimal contact with the opposite sex instantly means attraction? And that is why I slightly avoid my friends who are guys, just so everyone else doesn't peg that I am deeply in love with them, because physical contact is the best way for me to pay attention to what you are saying. Or else that dead bunny on the side of the road becomes what I am focusing on, not how you cut your toe scuba diving in Canada. (Which seems like a great story).

So I was walking home with this guy, lets call him... Pedro. So Pedro and I were walking home, and then I got a text from another friend (a girl) asking if we wanted to meet her at a local school playground. We said yes so we got there and were waiting for her at aforementioned playground, it TOTAL SILENCE. From around a year of avoiding talking to guys one on one, I am now incompetent on starting conversations. So we sat there in silence for ten minutes. Once the friend came (the girl one) I was fine with talking to him just not by myself. So yeah, that's it, but I would LOVE your input/thoughts/feelings/off topic rantings in the comments section.
