(Shhh, I am avoiding homework, which is a rather sorry state of affairs to be in on the first day of class...)

You know how some people have a list of historical or important personages they would like to meet and/or get to know? I have one of people I see everyday. There are so many people right here at school that I know to be amazing, interesting, extreemly inteligent people, but I am too shy/nervous/scared/(insert favorite wimp synonym) to actually go up or sit down and talk to them. I'll just think about it and suddenly every thought even remotely coherent goes *poof* all gone no more nothing there. It is at times very depressing. Perhaps the worst thing about it is that it is all my own fault. Pride will not let me risk making a fool of myself (or even edge about a potentially uncomfortable situation). I need to get over this...
