Conflict is My Life

I have a major problem with conflict. When I disagree with someone on an issue I take an unwavering stance and get into easily avoidable conflicts. Then again, even if I don't care about an issue I make a point to start arguments. I decided to defend a subject without thought, just because it is opposite the stance someone else holds. With this outlook on life it is very difficult to create and maintain friendships. Being agreeable does not come easy to me because I have always been taught to question others thoughts and beliefs. I wish I could just relax and let my guard down around people and be open to new thoughts and ideas. Not everything that is different is bad. I just wish I didn't act like an ass all the time.

Last Night

So yesterday I was considering going to this A Capella event in Alumni Hall at the HUB. It was part of Penn States Late Night program. It didn't start until 10 pm however, and I didn't really want to be up until 1 am. I also didn't have anyone to go with, and these kind of events are always more fun to attend with somebody, so I didn't end up going. Now the ironic thing is, though I didn't intend it, I actually stayed up until about 1 am, so I could have spent the time listening to music instead of sitting in my dorm room. But all was not totally wasted. I was at first considering how to decorate my room because I have been becoming increasingly depressed with its bland nature. I made the decision that I would like to paint the window into something a little more scenic, so I looked up what kind of paints the job would require. Now it's just a matter of finding a store that sells them and getting the funds to buy them. (I still have a $100 check that needs to be cashed, and not much cash left in my wallet.) Then I got sidetracked from that issue because I remembered that I promised Philip that once I had some pictures from the camera he let me borrow, that I would create a flickr page. So I spent the rest of my time setting up the account and adding a few pictures. You can see this page by clicking here.
