Back home and couldn't be happier. Yes, it is nice spending time with friends and taking time off and all that, but I am, ultimately, an introvert. I need time to be alone and relax. I like doing things when I want to do them. And it makes one of us very upset when we want to get up and go but we can't because some member of the party is taking their sweet time, either because they don't seem to care about making everyone else late, or they're so disorganized that it takes them forever.
Also people are just...annoying sometimes. Every person I've ever interacted with, even my closest friends have done/said things that annoy me. And I just need to get away from them so we don't snap at them. Some have a much lower tolerance for bullshit than I do, and some just really like starting fights. And some people are...a lot more annoying than others. I need to deal with them in small doses. So being stuck with them in a room or car is...not great!
We were good and dropped arguments, so it's nice to have that self-control. But, man, did I complain to my (real life flesh and blood) sister about this once I could. Since I knew she would appreciate just how Absolutely Incorrect this guy was about various card games.
