349 - Abnormal

Went out for some stuff today.
Stuck in the traffic on the way back, thoughts hit me.

It hit me hard. Looking from outside, I'm acting a bit abnormal, at least when it comes to media and socializing.
Dad got me a ticket to some awesome-ass concert. I am so not planning to go.
People love going to concerts, I'd rather sit at home and listen to the same music in my own peace and freedom.
People love watching series. They follow them. Wait for the next episode to come out, and then go and lock them selves in on their laptop screen. I don't recall when was the last time I watched an episode of any series. It probably should have been sometime back in February or so, and it was definitely an episode of The Big Bang Theory.
People like movies, they follow some directors and actors like religious people follow their religions. When there is a discussion about movies, I probably can participate a bit, since I still remember some names. And I can recall that I watched some movies, and I liked them, or for some, loved them. I can remember 2007, when I watched every single movie of the year I could get my hands on. But now, in 2014, I don't even have a big enough movie-mind-span to watch a two-hour movie without stopping it at least once. [ That is unless it's an animation. Something about the colors still keeps me really entertained.]
People tend to text each other over Viber and Whatsapp and all of such for hours. They share their feelings, they chat about stuff, and spend their time 'socializing' throughout text messages and funny pictures and videos. I'd rather spend my social time, talking to people for real. If I can meet them, or if not, I'd rather call them. I'd rather take advantage of the fact that internet is Semi-down in this Country half of the time, and use it as an excuse to text people over the good 'ol SMS. To call them on their numbers, and talk to them about what I could have resolved with a simple Viber message, so I can hear their voices as well.

Yeah. Apparently, it seems a bit abnormal. But it's all cool. If I only managed to watch some movies again, that would be better. Apparently, I'd be missing too much art if I don't.
