I've been thinking about physical affection/physical contact with other people lately. It's really quite interesting to me. I find it amusing that people need to be able to be around other people. Not just that, but it's emotionally important for people to be able to feel other people. It's fascinating, especially as I realize I definitely am not nearly as averse to physical contact as I thought I was. In fact (though this may admittedly be because I'm thinking about it a lot) I've been going out of my way to encounter this sort of stuff. (Not that I have very good access to physical contact. Mostly, I just hold my baby sister) Regardless, this is a curious realization I have made about myself.
Music Recommendation: "Luma" from Super Mario Galaxy. We SMG and SMG2 fans know that this one always makes us want to cry. It's funny that a song from a Mario game could elicit so much emotion, and yet it does, for those of us who have played the game at least.
It is occurring to me that maybe the first paragraph might be a little weird. Oh well.
In other news, I got into All-State Orchestra! It's a really big time commitment over three days, but it will be a good experience. Plus, there's something special about being selected as 1 out of 16 high school cellists from the entire state to play in an excellent group of musicians. And, I don't doubt it will look good on a resume.

Hey, nice job getting into All-State!
A bit of a rant, spoilered for length (speaking of, sorry ‘bout that)
SpoilerAlso I feel the physical contact thing, I don’t like most other people touching me, even just like brushing against my arm or tapping me anywhere other than my shoulder. The “most” comes into play in that I’m fine with physical contact with my girlfriend or family, and I’m okay to hug people as long as I’m in the mood and I start it (again, it depends on who it is). My dad’s side of the family is into hugs and stuff, so I enjoy hugs, it’s just that I don’t like them if it’s random or it’s someone I don’t trust. I think it might have to do with my claustrophobia, which only really takes effect if I can’t move my arms or legs, so if someone hugs me out of nowhere and I can’t move my limbs, I don’t like it. Again, there are a few exceptions, but most people who I hug regularly just ask me if I want a hug, which is nice.
