hmmm...

Ever find it interesting how different people bring out your different qualities?  How certain friends bring out the immature, fun-loving child in you, others bring out the more "chill" laid back and relaxed version of you or even sometimes, some people bring out the mature and responsible version of you?  So at first I thought: "Am I being fake if I can be such a different person around different people - if my personality isn't necessarily consistent throughout?" But after thinking about it a little more, It's more about how  different people emphasize different aspects about you and it seems like they just enhance/ activate that quality about you when you're around them. Sometimes for better or for worse (because its not always the best qualities about you that may be emphasized). Sometimes its because you need to maintain some sort of balance within the relationship (one should be the responsible one if the other is going to be a mess). Sometimes the other person's personality and behaviour just makes it too difficult for you to abstain from doing the exact same thing (I'm not talking about peer pressure, but you get what I'm saying right?) ..But sometimes some people just bring out the worst in you. The uptight, irritable, frustrated and angry bitch/jerk you never want to be, but you just can't help it when you're around this person. Maybe you shouldn't be hanging out with this person in the first place.... but then you have to wonder, why does this person bring out the worst in you?

Anyway, that was my useless ponderment (YEA, I said ponderment, don't pretend like you don't know what it means even if I DID make up the word just now) ... but you know me, just sayin'
