you might think that we have a large garden... we only have like four orchids. my mom is the one taking care of them.

anyway, i like the way you named Penguis. i think he looks adorable...

i'm aloof with them because they do not have the same warm response towards me than to our other classmates. just this morning, i found that my friends are already getting away from me. they don't respond actively towards me... like when i make the effort of saying hi. they're in the bad mood when i'm around them. i just isolate myself so that they can't feel that way when i'm around. (i don't get the rationality behind this. is this something bad? if so, how can i correct this? -- thanks)

LMo, i know individuals have major differences. what if i meet a person with whom i have no similar interests.. and she tells me something about this and that... how must i behave in such a conversation?

---thanks again
