The Life of an Ambivert

I have gotten into politics so much now, it is quite unreal. The only things I watch these days is Naruto and congressional sessions. Both Indian and American. My group project video is coming along great though. Haven't seen it as of yet, but I have rather high hopes for how it might turn out. I plan on putting it up on this blog for you to see, I may also create a group account on YouTube and add it there. I ate half a jar of chocolate covered almonds yesterday, as my lunch and dinner. I'm still chomping on them while I write this and do my other work. On the other hand, I haven't used the elevator since the past five days. I don't know, maybe to compensate for my binge-ing. When I write the word 'binging', it shows the red line at the bottom. Is that not a real word? I feel like I have lost yet another person that I considered a friend. It's probably not so but my brain is just sure of this fact. Mainly it has to do with the attitude of the way she i...

Since I have some time on my hands I decided to learn something new. Namely, lock picking. After several videos and a guide, I gave it a try. Firstly, I didn't have any of the required materials. A tension wrench and the pin (don't know what it's called). I would also need a practice lock, a transparent lock made for the singular purpose of learning to lock-pick. I had none of those. I had a master lock used for gates and baggage and no tools. I decided to fashion them out of chopsticks using my Swiss blade. The result was quite impressive. I surprised myself. However (of course), a tension rod is made in a specific way. Chopsticks can't accomplish that role, even if it is professionally fashioned to be so. So that was a bust. I will have to buy the real tools, I guess. I am also learning to make stop-motion video. This came out of necessity because my group decided to make an animation for our project. Now I spend every night awake, drawing. I suck at drawing by t...

As you might you know, if you keep up with this blog, I am not an avid outgoing guy. I don't talk a lot, especially in big groups. And that's something that I try to change. Which is why I decided to lead my community project group. I want to change, I force myself to be something that I am not. step out of my comfort zone.  (side note: There seems to be something stuck in my throat, and I have tried to wash it down, but it isn't budging. What should I do. ) And I did, hence the leading position. I think I have done a fairly decent job as of yet, however it still feels like I am not able to connect with my teammates as a leader should. I am heavily influenced by movies and you always see the leader persona in movies, especially, sport oriented ones like Jerry Maguire, Moneyball, The Big short, the Godfather etc. I try to, dare I say, replicate the attributes portrayed in such movies in my own work. I still feel, however, that my team isn't responding to me. If...
