It's only finger-lengths that I see

You know that feeling that you get when you know you're missing something? Yeah. I know that something's happening, and I'm right on the edge of the loop. Some sort of drama, some thing that may fuck up some people. It's just that sense of unease you get sometimes when you're in a certain group, and you can tell that there's something more behind seemingly off-hand comments, and, of course, the way some people won't look each other in the eye.

I'm not really that involved with that group of friends yet, so I'm not emotionally invested enough to be particularly worried. It's more of a vague discomfort, hoping that the one or two people that I am close with are able to come out of whatever's happening unscathed. This school doesn't need any more horrible drama right now. Also, it would suck to see such a tight group of people torn apart by something so...common (if the problem is what I think it is).

Haha, and this all serves to remind me that people don't think I'm as observant as I am. Sure, I may not be the first to pick up on a new haircut or shade of lipstick or fabulous new blouse, but when it comes to social atmosphere? I'm pretty sensitive to that kind of stuff. I can usually tell if something's going on. -shrugs- I like it this way, though--observing from the sidelines is fun, and I like being an uninvolved party that people can go to if they need an opinion or something.

Current playlist I have on repeat:
Brothers on a Hotel Bed - Death Cab for Cutie
Glittering Clouds - Imogen Heap
Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Set the Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol
The Sound of Settling - Death Cab for Cutie
Spaceman - The Killers
Summer Skin - Death Cab for Cutie

I am on such a Death Cab for Cutie binge right now. Obviously. I probably will be for the next few weeks.
